Well, I thought it was pretty good.

Rating: Null/10 (27 November 2004)

First off, it was a movie, not some pseudo-documentary or anything. No one claimed it would be historically accurate or politically correct, or incorrect for that matter. Regardless, it was a good MOVIE, if you would like to be entertained for 3 hours, this is your flick. The only people who seem so annoyed or against this movie are the ones who think they know history in and out, which I don't and very few do. So, take it for what it is, a movie, and you will most likely enjoy yourself watching the terrific acting, the beautiful scenery and the very many excpetional actors who grace the scenes. I do wish there were more battle scenes and a little better of an actor to play young Alexander. The scenes with him as a child are alright, but it doesn't get real good until he is older. I would of thought some more historical events would have made the movie far more dramatic, but I am not Oliver Stone, and he did a great job none the less. Some scenes may bother some people, there is some kissing scenes between men, however they do not depict Alexander as an outright homosexual they do introduce to the audience that homosexuality or bisexuality could have been common place among men at the time. If this really b others you, than don't watch it. If I had to give it a rating, 4 out of 5 stars. Only because I reserve a 5 for truly exceptional films.
