Most confusing and boring film I have ever seen

Rating: 1/10 (10 January 2005)

Quite honestly I would like a refund.
This is the most confusing and long film I have ever seen. The confusion started in the first scene with the narrator. Unfortunately the confusion carried on right until the end. And no I am not homophobic -- I am gay and saw the film with my boyfriend.
I can only imagine that the narrator was not part of the film originally and was added in at the last minute when the director realised what a complete disjointed confusing mess he had created, in an attempt to reduce the level of confusion. It still failed.
This is the first film that I have ever considered walking out of and I see go to the cinema quite often -- at least most terrible films do not last a truly arduous three hours.
Some people have suggested that it would have been less confusing if I knew more about Alexander the Great to start with. Maybe by oooh, reading an encyclopedia. Well I knew nothing about him to start with, and I still know nothing about him now. Since I watched the film as a break from university examinations the last thing I would have wanted to do is do more studying in an attempt to understand a damn film.
Don't waste your time and money.
