Not worth your three hours.

Rating: 3/10 (27 July 2005)

First of all I went into this with low expectations because of what I had heard from critics and friends. But I figured I would watch it and make up my own mind because you can never really trust someone else as to what you like or dislike. Well in this case they were right because I struggled on and off for 3 hours whether I should get up and leave.
This is a bad movie. It is not even a bad movie because of all the gratuitous man love but because it drags on and on for way too long just barely keeping you interested every 45 minutes with cool battle scenes. Every time I would begin rolling my eyes and seriously contemplate walking out, something would happen where I would think "okay well maybe now I can give it chance again." It never happened. The entire film was a roller-coaster of emotion - in a bad way. I would be bored and disappointed for 30 minutes and then would say "Ahhh those special effects look pretty good."
After viewing the film I wanted my 3 hours back and felt like writing Oliver Stone a letter and asking him what happened. Any Given Sunday and now this? I learned nothing about Alexander the Great except he might like dudes and he fought a lot of battles, and I am angry about it.
Don't waste your time.
