Incredible visual work, but content is extremely dull!!!!!

Rating: 1/10 (29 March 2007)

Perhaps the visuals in this film are the most incredible I've ever seen. The battle sequences are extremely impressive, and the way the film show us the utilization of the famous Greek phalanx in war is brilliant. Unfortunately, the script is very dull. By using a voice off, you can observe that they try to keep in the dark the problems in the script. There are also several problems due to the intention of making a pure visual film in some scenes. And in one case in particular you can observe more than one sun, only to achieve several counter sun shots in the same scene, of course,..... All the acting is quite good but sometimes the voices of some characters are overacted. I must say that there are many sequences of the film that are taken literally from other movies. The way Leonidas is killed is exactly the same we can see in Jet Lee's Hero. And of course there are many moments of Ridley Scot's Gladiator in the film. The music is correct and in some moments very impressive. But other than that I was very disappointed. Is very sad to say that Oliver Stone's Alexander is a better film.
