At least they got some names right..........................

Rating: 3/10 (12 October 2016)

I have been putting off to watch this movie,since I've heard a lot about it and nothing was good.Now I understand why....
The movie seems like a b-movie from the very beginning.I was tempted to stop it but thought"It's about the greatest ancient war master,I should know how they portray him here"..
Well,it was painful!It was so distasteful I do not know where to begin.Phillip the second(something I believe was never stated in the movie,not even once...the second)is portrayed as goat herding one- eyed homosexual rapist savage.Olympia looks younger than her own son,apparently was raised in mother RUSSHA but was probably born in some exotic island,and had some weird fetish with snakes,always acting like an obvious plotter straight out of the "gossip girl" series and with some awkwardly flirtish tendencies towards her child.It was sickening.Did they even read what this movie was supposed to be about?Obviously not!
Alexander and his best friend had eyeliners throughout the entire film,I am sure that was a thing back in the day,right!?And then all kind of ridiculous scenes happen....Public rape of a young boy in Phillip's wedding feast,Phillip-Alexander public fight with insults that were thought to be pretty bad back then,but the next day you see them riding side by side laughing,Alexander mouth kissing his mother,his hair looked like they were done with the cheapest of hair-colors,every ten minutes we had a 20 minute long monologue from Alexander deprived though of any emotion.The fight scenes reminded me of the series "hercules" with Kevin Sorbo,totally laughable.Everything was absolutely cheap about this film.From their very cloths up to their supposed to be great marble statues...But the directors seemed to have a different opinion since they replaced every great work of ancient Greeks with plastic human size figures.The lack of seriousness and the complete absence of any respect at all to history and to one of it's greatest sons was suffocating.Even a 7 year old would laugh or get bored with this.Many scenes could easily come from 1960s films.
Alexander the Great was the best tactician of the ancient world,he conquered almost the entire known world,he was a talented leader,a great warrior and a genius at strategy.Did we ever see that here?No...It could easily be a film about some fake blonde Persian prince with an enormous fortune and army.The directors were more focused on showing us sleazy gay scenes,ridiculous half naked men dancing like trumpets in a Babylonian cheap brothel than building up the character of the greatest war master of history.
This was not Alexander and there was nothing great about this film.If we were asked to rate the disrespect,lack of knowledge and any talent in camera play,screen writing and story telling behind this absolute piece of garbage,then I could say that they were the greatest(=lamest).Even the basics were all wrong.Macedonia keeps been referred to as something different to Greece itself.They were indeed divided in city-states and Macedonia was one of them.They make it sound like all the other city-states make out Greece and Macedonia is something else.
Hollywood never fails to disappoint!!I could go on for hours,but since most of these stuff were also mentioned by others and since there is no point making myself feel even worse from this abomination I suffered,I shall stop here.If this was Hollywood's attempt to portray Alexander the Great,they managed to create a complete and utter failure of a "historical" based movie. 1 out of 10
