should have won an Oscar!

Rating: 3/10 (20 March 2007)

Long, dragged out, predictable, with second rate action scenes.... but Golly Gee!!!! Despite no historical proof, Alexander is BOTH gay and into interracial relationships despite what his people think. Given how Hollywood dishes out academy awards on the basis of representing their moral values rather than any merit, this one should have won TWO best picture awards in 2004.
This movie is also flawed with the sad reality that there is no reason to like the often spazzy Alexander.... but as per usual with Hollywood they over look trying to develop any true character so long as they can get their own cheers in for the character being politically correct.
Gay and interracial, but Hollywood apparently overcame it being TOTALLY politically correct by killing lots of animals in the fight scenes. So it MUST be "hard hitting and controversial"..... NOT!
Not one to watch for historical accuracy, but go ahead curl up with a good book and periodically look up in this snoozer to see more cookie cutter Hollywood characters representing Hollywood values.
