Amazing, incredible movie... but destroyed?

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2006)

Everyone went to the movie theater (including me) to see "Alexander the Great", it's time epic battles and huge armies of both sides. Yet we find ourselves watching a pure gay movie, it wasn't about "Alexander the Great" at all, but the life of a gay man. I was really, REALLY mad to see what they claim in there to be a historical fact, it was proved over and over again that man from those times were more attached to each other, they would kiss on the cheeks and hug, but in any mean would it be taken as homosexual, as the Movie itself shows, Alexander even married. The movie just twisted the history and because of that, it destroyed this titan and epic movie.
Sure, sure, if the writers and director want to say Alexander was gay just for the fun of it; Okay, but at least make the gay scenes a little lighter; this movie is very heavy on sexual and nudity, with both straight and gay sex, I find it completely unnecessary, it was only useful to generate a huge free publicity by the costs of the angry critics worldwide and to simply destroy the entire movie, because a lot of people just did not tolerate the idea (including me, I cannot see Alexander being gay) - Something you can clearly see by looking at the IMDb.com overall rating on an incredibly awesome and epic movie.
But seriously, if you can manage to watch this movie with a "giant will" to tolerate the straight and gay nudity/sex scenes, you will find yourself watching an amazing and incredible movie, Colin Farrel and Antony Hoptkins are acting inhuman in this picture, Colin Farrel should have won an Oscar for his acting, he is the perfect Alexander, it is a huge pity they made him gayÂ… that was a waste of talent, richness and character, terrible choice, terrible!!!! The sound is spectacular; the visuals are unique and show scenes never seen before; the battles and armies are just amazing, they seem to come out of the history books, it is like a trip to the past; the story is breath taking; the director did a superb job, superb but mediocre at the same time because of the destruction he allowed within the Alexander Character, terrible, terrible choice.
Eight out of ten, but it should have deserved an easy ten.
