Epic saga of a great leader

Rating: 7/10 (3 December 2014)

Alexander,as the name suggests,its about the life of Alexander the great.It was a good movie so i couldn't understand why they are trashing it so badly.It was a well intented inspiring movie.The movie is like a tribute to one of the world's greatest military leaders.Every frame boasts of epicness and perfection.I loved its story which begins when Alexander was 5 years old.Its non-linear narrative was like a cherry on the cake.The movie showed the whole events in a manner which was not filmy so it looked very close to the reality.This movie mainly focused on the expeditions took by Alexander to conquer the whole world.He was truly a genius and ahead of his time.Many times he was blamed by calumniators who were only hungry for the throne and money and were worried as why he is donating money in poor.The movie was also very accurate historically.It also showed about the society where eunuchs were allowed.Alexander always fought for the benefit of public.The movie depicts everything in a grandeur fashion but the screenplay feels lousy.It was too sluggish in the beginning but picked its speed soon.The ending was poignant but confusing.In acting section everyone was OK except Angelina jolie.She was mind-blowing and essayed the role of a throne hungry mom perfectly.She proved again why she is one of the most talented actress.Music was nice.Visuals were good.The war scenes lacked enthusiasm but were grand.The movie also needed to be shortened as it was too long.Overall it was an engaging historical epic saga of rivalry,bravery,beguile and throne.Truly people remember only those who thinks and do ahead of their time and Alexander was one of them. RATING : 7.3 out of 10
