Typical historical epic with homo erotic overtones

Rating: 4/10 (7 August 2005)

Very impressive on a visual scale. Very grandiose,as epics go. Not sure why Val Kilmer seems to speak with a bit of an Irish brogue,and the one eye thing is kind of disturbing, though there is another fellow with one eye in the movie, I guess to balance it out. Angelina Jolie sounds like Count Chocula's wife! And the snakes, why all the damn snakes?!!! Sir Anthony seems a bit obese these days. The eyeliner on Alexander's lover,what's with that?!! Troy certainly beats it in terms of plot, acting, and overall casting. The young man who plays young Alexander is a good young actor. The visuals are stunning, the battle scenes are epic. Mind you, this is just my personal rant! Please don't be offended. IT'S ONLY A MOVIE FOLKS!!
