Just pathetic

Rating: 2/10 (21 July 2005)

I give it a star for the Battle of Gaugamela and a star for the scenery. The rest of the movie sucked. I couldn't believe how slow it was. Just about nothing happened from Gaugamela to the end. It was incredibly long and as boring as anything could be. The fake accent by Angelina Jolie was appalling and stupid as heck. The worst part of the movie were the narrations by Anthony Hopkins. He explained all the parts of the movie that were too hard to act out on screen, because Oliver Stone wanted to fill up most of the movie with mindless disputes between Alexander and his men. I mean, the whole point of a movie is that you are told the story visually. But in this movie, you see a bunch of guys riding around on horses as Hopkins explains what is happening.
A little inaccuracy that just about made me gag from idiocy was in the last battle when that guy gets impaled on the elephant's tusk. Come on! Like that would ever happen. You know how dull those are. That part ruined any emotion I would have felt during the last battle.
THIS MOVIE SUCKED!!!
