A gay cult classic

Rating: 4/10 (17 December 2004)

Though "Alexander" was historically accurate about Alexander's sexual preference, Colin Farrell portrayed him terribly. Most of the acting in this movie was horrid; the only person who caught my attention was Elliot Cowan, who played young Ptolemy. His acting skills are quite remarkable; I hope to see him in more movies. The thing that bothered me most, however, was the love between Jared Leto and Colin Farrell. I couldn't tell that there was anything really "heavy" between them, and the camera seemed transfixed on Leto's eyes. Anjelina Jolie had a strange and unneeded accent, and looked only three years older than her son. The movie had more fake blood than the law should allow; no normal and healthy human being has the amount of blood that came out of some people in this movie. See this movie if you have a lot of free time. A LOT of free time.
