Alexander the Wimp

Rating: 3/10 (1 December 2004)

I was really looking forward to see this movie. I'm disappointed.
First of all, where were the editors? This movie is too long. And, don't tell me that it was necessary to show so much detail about every step of the way.
Secondly, without saddles and stirrups, you can't shoot a bow, throw a spear or swing a sword with any accuracy and without falling off the horse. Shame on them for showing the opposite.
And the whole India scenes were surreal: especially the elephant battle. I'm no weapons expert but if the spears, pikes and arrows didn't pierce the hide, they should have pierced the eyes and mouth. And couldn't some soldiers get underneath the elephant with swords?
