But how did you like the movie, J. Edgar Hoover?

Rating: 6/10 (21 December 2004)

I kept looking for evidence of the 150 million dollars they spent on this picture. Babylon looked great, some of the interiors were smashing, but a lot of the statues and decorations looked cheesy and rushed out in a hurry. Remember the painted figure of Philip being pulled along in that procession? Cheap looking. The armor and weapons were fine, great horses and animal direction. One of my favorite parts was the soaring hawk over the first battlefield, nicely done. Suggested the spirit of Alexander, at the same time let you wonder what the hawk was thinking watching the carnage. Is it safe to swoop down and grab a limb, etc. Is there really another species as predatory as mine? Liked Jolie, not enough of Jared Leto, too much of Anthony Hopkins, but liked his house and the view from it. Also check out the music to those sexy dances, after a few bars it really hooks you. More worth your money than anything from Mel Gibson.
