Hard to do him justice

Rating: 9/10 (24 November 2004)

The movie, as far as movies go, is very very good. A lot of people seems to take things very literally, but they have to remember that it's often hard to recreate something that happened over 2000 years ago and no one had actually seen. I think that Oliver Stone did a good job portraying ancient world and the actors acted out their characters as realistically as possible. The only thing that is disappointing is that no movie can be long enough to include everything that can be said about Alexander. In order for them to keep it within acceptable time limit (for movie) they had to skip or gloss over a lot of facts and events, which in turn prevented from really showing what Alexander and those surrounding him were like. I like the movie, but to do Alexander any justice they need to make series.
