An example of how a vast budget can be severely wasted on a horrendous script

Rating: 1/10 (8 May 2008)

Specifically, I am reviewing the Final Cut 3.5 hour monstrosity.
This movie is just terrible. If the accents weren't bad enough (and they are bad, some of those Macedonian Greeks sure sound Irish) the script, costumes, sets, chronology, and especially acting in this movie are just embarrassing.
This is the story of Alexander the GREAT apparently, a whining impetuous Irish child who likes to scream at his Countess-Dracula mommy.
The homosexuality in this movie is not even worth discussing. Alexander by the histories was very likely in relationships with men, this was perfectly acceptable at the time in Greece, and it is of little relevance. Put it from your mind. There are plenty better reasons to be disgusted by this movie. Don't waste your time imposing Christian morality on this movie.
Everyone involved in producing this film should be ashamed that they took one of histories greatest conquerers and reduced him to a squalling crying child who spends more time playing with his boy toys than advancing his empire.
For shame.
