Doesn't Quite Cut It

Rating: 5/10 (25 September 2005)

I am not sure where to begin with this one...
Angelina Jolie as Alexander's sorceress/mother playing with snakes the the beginning of the film is enough to turn anyone off. I am not sure how much of that is acting if you get my drift.
Many character development issues need further defining for me to understand. While the film runs long and complicated, I lost track and interest in this thing too many times. The characters were either not likable (Jolie, Kilmer) or just annoying. I could not get involved and frankly did not care what became of any of them.
The special effects/battle scenes could have been spectacular and saved the day but also fell short. Much more could have been done in the travelogue mode with beautiful Greek Islands, but that all went to waste. Take a look here only if you can't find something better.
