why bother

Rating: 1/10 (5 August 2009)

The problem with this movie is that Alexander is such a wonderful character, that telling his story would be enough for a great movie. But when you have it written more fictionalize then a reality TV show, it loses it's credibility. What is really sad is that people will use this movie as a filler for their interest in History. They will go around thinking about this move and Braveheart, and think they know everything about the past. Sadly, some kid will watch it and skip doing his homework. And why? There was no need. Again, the life of Alexander was exciting enough...so why bother making everything up? I had almost the same problem with 300....the documentary surrounding the history was so good it brought down the movie. The difference is that "300" was entertaining...
