An epic masterpiece made by a genius

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2009)

Its really a strange judgment here on IMDb. It should be at least a 7.
I must say i love this movie. It has some flaws as well (but what movie doesn't!) Its intriguing, its captivating and its historically very very interesting. In my perspective its one of the best movies out there. The scenes are nicely coordinated and the film could be believed in (most of the time) and the acting of the characters are great.
I think its a masterpiece and i think that the producer of this film is a genius despite the harsh judgment here on IMDb.
However there is a moment in the movie that is a bit boring and it cannot be denied. Its the part when Alexander move east against India. There the movie gets a bit boring and continues to be boring a while but in the end its balanced up to a very emotional and is just excellent. But perhaps it had to be boring to illustrate the desperation and madness that has existed in mankind history.
Antony Hopkins is one of my all time favorites. His part in this movie is also super great.
The music of this movie is also a masterpiece. Vangelis has done a wonderful job.
Farell does a really good job, but honestly he was not the perfect actor to play Alexander. I don't know why i feel that, if its the weak resemblance of the real face of Alexander (seen on statues) or his strong Irish accent.
