I thought this was about a great leader?!

Rating: Null/10 (27 November 2004)

I must say I am extremely disappointed with this movie. I went to go see it with great expectations only to have them shattered right at the beginning of the movie.
So many good actors, yet so much bad acting. Too many artificially created backdrops. Horribly cheesy speeches given by Colin Farrell that sound as if he wants to laugh in the middle of them. Overglorified allegedly bisexual side to Alexander.
Really the only good thing about it was Angelina Jolie. Not because her acting was so great (but it was probably the best of the cast), but because she looked incredible. That really and truly was the highlight for me. Sad indeed.
If you expect a movie like Gladiator, Braveheart, etc. I suggest you try elsewhere. Stone is pretty predictable to say the least and it's just overall not a very good movie. It may be long and about a historical figure, but that's not enough to save this big letdown.
