Truly Awesome

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2005)

what a truly amazing film! i really cant comprehend all negative feedback it seems to be getting. the only thing i can think of is the fact that Alexander is portrayed as being gay/bisexual. this however is not a problem for me as i think Colin Farrell is hot and some of the scenes are just to die for. the only other thing with the gay thing is that they should have not included it at all, or they should have thrown themselves whole-heartedly into the matter. but as it stands there is the whole feeling of is he isn't he... but never mind. Jolie's role is fantastic and she is veeeeerrrrry sexy although i am not quite sure about the whole Slavic (spelling?) accent that is being put on. Farrell has an Irish accent even though he is supposed to be Greek, and so does Kilmer randomly...? can anyone explain this? the casting was superb, and the young Alexander looks so much like Farrell its disturbing.
the only negativity i feel is the length, although again i didn't notice this and i thought it could have been even longer. The homosexual subtext which really isn't 'sub' at all, and i could see how this could offend people... (but, u no... get a life dear) and lastly some of the dialogue is prolonged and slightly too dramatic.
but there, everyone should go see it because it is FANTASTIC
