A VERY GOOD MOVIE

Rating: 8/10 (28 November 2004)

I think that being based on history, this movie did a pretty good job. It is funny to read people saying that this is not as good as Lord of the Rings or that they wanted more battles as in Brave Heart...Well, this is not a fictitious movie, full of computer animation (as in Lord of the Rings)...this is a movie with real people representing a legend. There is no way you can compare them both. Let's compare it with Troy, for example. This is a much better movie, where you get the sense of being amazed by the magnificent of this mithyc characters. I think the movie is very completed. It shows the politic aspect, the feelings and the reasons of the characters. The battle scenes where amazing. The acting was really good as well. Specially Angelina Jolie. She was great! I think Mr Stone made a really good job telling the story of Alexander the Great! And please people...stop destroying good cinema expecting to see a lot of blood or a lot of computer effects to consider a movie to be good. I give this movie an A-
