I enjoyed this film

Rating: 8/10 (5 November 2009)

I finally had the opportunity today to see this film for the very first time. I remember hearing all of the negative reviews, and so I suppose it was one of the main reasons I never bothered to see it at the movie theater. However, I was quite surprised by how much I truly enjoyed the film.
There seems to be plenty of analysis on why the film did not meet certain expectations. I am not going to go into historical or philosophical debate with anyone as I am approaching this strictly from a movie-watcher perspective. I will leave the lengthy critiques for those that like over-analyze the reason(s) as to why not the film was/was not a success.
If you have not seen the movie, I suggest watching it. If you want to learn more about Alexander, there is plenty information out there on the net that would satisfy your curiosity. If you watch with an open mind I am certain you will find this film informative as well as entertaining.
I give it an 8 out of 10.
