Absolutely crap waste of a couple of hours

Rating: 1/10 (20 August 2006)

I had made my mother rent me out this DVD from X-Tra vision, It was the last day of my 3rd academic year at Campbell college, Belfast and i had cancelled going out with my friends on the best day of the year to watch a movie that i thought would have a match to Troy, Gladiator or even Braveheart this movie turned to be a complete pile of sh 1 t! from the start the young Alexander was obviously asked to put on an Irish accent as that of Colin Farrell's. I myself am Irish and not a brilliant follower of Greek mythology but one thing i can assure the people of this world is that Alexander the great did not have an Irish accent. I think that there have been many good actors that have come from my country such peter O'Toole, Richard Harris and lots more but Colin Farrell was absolutely terrible in this movie.
I don't know much about Alexander the great and Colin Farrell may have portrayed him well but its all for nothing if you can't but on the correct accent. Which i thought Angelina Jolie did well to be fair.
The plot is pretty basic and not hard to get your head around but it managed to put me asleep.
There should never have been a movie made about Alexander the great anyway because there's not much in the story that would be good and look well on screen.
A terrible film and i do not recommend it to fans of Braveheart, troy etc.
