did I go to the movies yesterday?

Rating: 1/10 (6 January 2005)

I guess, I did. There is no other way to explain the ticket stub in my purse. It has "Alexander" written on it, so I must have seen this film. But there are only some words/things that come to my mind, thinking about it, like: MISCAST (except for Angelina Jolie - I didn't know she was able to act), BORING (the filmmakers should have watched the introduction of Lord of the Rings I. - instead they used a narrator), TOO LONG (thank goodness Alexander died at 35 and not as an old man), SHALLOW CHARACTERS (did anyone have feelings for anyone in this film??? I only felt really sorry for the beautiful horse and the elephants), MASCARA(Johnny Depp seems to have started a new fashion with "Pirates of the Caribbean"), BEING GAY (everybody knows homosexuality is as old as mankind - nothing new and it won't help the gay-movement), NICE SETTING (a big hooray for the computer era we live in). Overall impression: I don't know what to say, except that it was just a huge and expensive nothing on celluloid. Next time I go for the biggest and most scientific history book I can find. It can't be worse than this film. -1 out of 10 (awful would be a compliment)
