Enjoyable after repeat viewings

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 2004)

My husband and I have viewed this movie three times - after the first viewing we were initially disappointed - however, this movie improves with each viewing as characters and events become clearer.
We would have liked to have seen greater focus on Alexander as the "colossus" - In our opinion we would have liked to have seen the following four things; firstly- more Darius; secondly, more about Alexander's generals and their motivations; thirdly Alexander "conquering" Egypt and becoming a god; and fourthly, more Bucephulus. We would have liked to have seen less of the following: Alexander as boy; Alexander's relationship with his mother and the dwelling on the his night of passion with Roxanne and his passions for Hephastion.
We would encourage people to view the movie - it is a fascinating story.
