My view on Alexander..!

Rating: 3/10 (25 January 2005)

Well i've had very high thoughts and expectations towards this movie.. having seen trailers and stuff, i went to the theater and got a serious kick in the face..! Total waste of money and time..! Oh well now i at least can say "I've seen it.."
But I'm astonished by the lack of intensity in the movie..! I have no problems with men who likes men.. hell one of my friends is gay and he's wicked cool ! But this theme is based on hearsay and on the biggest funeral ever..! We have no historical facts that Alexander was into men. But the main issue here is not that.. i can live with that if the movie is great! Just wanted to state the facts..!
The main issue is bad monologues..! I don't even wanna give an example cause i think its a problem throughout the entire movie..! Closeup shots and other camera angles are in a weird places.. f.ex when the kid gets bitten by a snake, u see the snake, but not the bite.. yeah in the background, but we wanna see that bite.. and not just see him laying on the ground.. just way to easy ! Easy outs, bad monologues and some general weird scenes..! Looks exceptionally cool when his dad (val k.) is killed, an a second later Alexander is suddenly rejoiced as a king while his mom is having some serious eye problems...! Thats totally weird.. and it looked weird !
Eyes rolling..!
I was a fan of Stone..!
