DID Alexander WIN HIS WAR ??????? !!!!!!!!!

Rating: Null/10 (2 December 2004)

If I need to put all my thoughts on this movie, I could become the best MOVIE critic in the country. I am a movie guy and I ve been watching 3 generations of movies.
Alexander.the movie ! I agree with the guy here who said that Oliver Stone conveniently changed the story for the sake of making a movie. First of all why the movie is made in this way ? I have seen at least ½ a dozen documentaries on Alexander in the TV. ( History Channel, Discovery, National Geographic etc ) and now I saw Alexander in the Theatre is there something different ? NO. In the TV there were historians anchoring the story of Alexander and in the movie it is Ptolomy. GIVE US A BREAK !!!!
Next, Alexander is a King, a conqueror, a warrior why are we bothered about his bisexuality even though he is one.i don't know he is anyway. Next WHERE ARE THE WAR scenes ? This is a Movie and every one expects at least 3-6 war situations there are only 2. Brave Heart, Troy and what not else ? is better than what I saw Alexander.
Now the Story !!!! There are many situations where the story is Changed. For example Alexander asks the daughter of Darius ( King of Persia )
How do you want me to treat you ?
She says as a Princesses and Alex is impressed with the ANSWER !
Actually this question is asked to the king POROS ( king of India )
The elephant battle ( against king Poros ) was won by Alexander and later on he gets hurt in a battle in India in a place called Mali.
In the movie it shows that the Elephant Battle is the last battle fought !
Lets talk about the conversational scenes !! I think depth in dialogues and script is better in movies like Cleopatra and Gladiator in the modern times.
But when it comes to action ! Every one did their bestcant ask more than that !
ALL AND ALL Alexander DID NOT WIN THIS WAR ON THE MOVIE
Thank you !!
