Major letdown

Rating: 3/10 (25 November 2004)

I have to say that Alexander was a complete let down. I had been excited to see this movie when it came out for at least two weeks prior to the 24th. I had family members as well as friends go with me to see it, and everyone was disappointed when we walked out. I counted about 15 people who got up and walked out after about 2 hours of the film, it was sooo boring. I know that everyone's life is boring, but this was insane, I felt like I was watching a three hour soap opera about a guy named Alexander who was very gay, to the point of making me sick. You really couldn't tell who was who in the battles, and there definitely weren't enough of them to keep the movie flowing. The narrator drove me to the point that I wanted someone to run in and kill him in the end too...he went on and on and on. The crowd also erupted into laughter several times because of some of the terrible mistakes this movie made. They would go from a very very serious scene to instant laughter with some guy dancing and making funny faces. Terrible. I really really wanted this to be a good movie, but it's one I will never watch again. Sorry Oliver!
