Long, boring, too many flash-backs

Rating: 3/10 (29 August 2005)

This is a movie I really looked forward to seeing but it turned out to be a great disappointment and I switched it off with half an hour to go.
Although the action scenes were brilliantly executed and presented, I found the many flash-backs to Alexander's childhood were extremely boring and that they made the story hard to follow.
I looked forward to action on a grand scale and that part didn't disappoint me. However, the flash-backs made the movie disjointed and ruined the illusion for me.
A great story ruined by the director.
