A weak movie.

Rating: 4/10 (16 October 2005)

Let me set one thing straight before I begin, Colin Farrel is NO Alexander. His performance was weak and mediocre. What a bad idea to cast him.
Anyway, this movie really wasn't that good. It jumped between time frames too many times and had way too many sexual scenes between Alexander and his male lover. There is one good thing about this movie, and that's Angelina Jolie. Her role as his mother was spectacular. She deserves an Oscar for that one.
Also, the war scenes were too long, like the movie it's self, and were so confusing you didn't really know what was going on or who was who. And that caused me to lose interest and stray away instead of devoting my full attention to this jumbled jig-saw of a movie. It was as confusing as Eternal Sunshine, but didn't have an excuse because their movie wasn't about deleting memories. I could tell the movie also was trying to rip off Troy. I don't really have a reason for that I'm just saying it.
The scenes were too bloody. The movie was too long. There was too much gay stuff. And because Alexander was such a mean person I really felt more sorry for his horse then I did him when he almost died. 4/10.
