Worth seeing for the epic scenes

Rating: 8/10 (13 December 2004)

Alexander has a series of epic sequences that are worth seeing and the movie also has a tremendous soundtrack by Vangelis. At times it feels like a 150 million dollar History Channel show. If you enjoy watching the History Channel this is the ultimate historical show. The most impressive moments of the movie are the massive battle against Persia, the entrance to Babylon featuring the Hanging Gardens, the crossing of Asia through the mountains and valleys and the battles in Indian jungles. These scenes are Hollywood grandeur at its best and the all star cast puts on a good show.
It is odd that critics have been so harsh on this film, if you see it I think you'll find it a worthwhile experience.
