This is a great movie!

Rating: 10/10 (14 September 2005)

I finally got a chance to see Alexander this month (I missed it at the theatres last year so I waited for the DVD release). I truly cannot understand why so many find this movie to be bad. I liked Troy but Alexander runs circles around that movie. The storyline is very well written, and without giving anything away I'll say that this movie is entertaining and well worth the near three hours in length. Colin Farrell, who I thought at first would not be able to pull this off, was incredible in the role of Alexander, as well as Angelina Jolie who isn't one of my favorite actresses but played her part well. Plus from the female standpoint there are a lot of very cute guys in this movie - Colin Farrell, Jared Leto, Gary Stretch, and Jonathan Rhys-Meyer to name a few. I love this film so much that I watched it at least seven times the first weekend I had the DVD rental, and as soon as I could I went out and bought a copy of my own! People who bash this movie have no idea what a good drama is all about. If you haven't seen it check it out, you will enjoy it. :D
