Hard to follow

Rating: 3/10 (31 December 2004)

I found this movie a disappointment. Mr Stones obsession with Alexanders "Gayness" was abhorrent. I also found that his treatment of Alexanders "Straight" relationships to be violent and not in-line with historical documentation. The following of Alexanders life was difficult. The movie bounces back and to from time frame to time frame. Most of the film I did not know what culture Alexander had encountered, or where they were. The battle scenes were very difficult to interpret or follow. Also I seriously doubt that Alexander boo hoed as much as Mr Stone suggests. And what makes Hollywood think that the Greeks all had Scottish Accents?? On the Plus side the costumes were very well done and the sets were done well also. Besides that I was disappointed.
