How is does one of reality's mist epic stories not feel epic...

Rating: 1/10 (7 September 2005)

I felt like the boy who played Alexander was more epic than Colin Farrell did. You have to get to know characters in movies. In this case the movie felt like an overpriced documentary. It wasn't epic enough to satisfy LOTR fans and it wasn't action packed. The love story was kinda limited to some smiles between characters. Jared Leto hugged Farrell more times than he spoke in the movie. It wasn't that anyone did a bad job acting, the story was just bland. I don't understand how a story of the conquering of thousands of miles can be bland. I like some pretty crappy movies and can tolerate things if they are just a lil fun but i was staring at the timer on my DVD player waiting for it to be over. They didn't even have to make Alexander likable, he just came off as having no personality AT ALL, and every time his people wanted a reason from him why they weren't going home he never really gave any answers. The dialogue was bad and so was the voice acting. There were some cool shots but it was just mutinous for the most part.
