Garbage

Rating: 1/10 (25 November 2004)

This is the worst movie I have seen in some time. From the onset you know this is gonna drag when you hear narration by Anthony Hopkins and you see young Alexander (this kid really annoyed the heck out of me) getting wrestling tips from the guy who played Zultan in the 1980 Flash Gordon film. There was way too much bleach used to create the DOOs of the young Alexander and the older Alexander. Collin Ferrell attempts to imitate the grand pre-battle talks with his troops like Mel Gibson in Braveheart/Russel Crowe in Gladiator, but it just doesn't work. Although Ferrell is a good actor, this just wasn't the role for him. The only good things about this film were: Val Kilmer (he actually acted quite good) and Jolie (not that she acted particularly well....but she is just plain Hot!!!)
This movie will do one of two things: 1. It will put you to sleep 2. If it doesn't do number 1. to you...then you will get up and walk out.
Don't pay to see this...don't rent it....don't watch it on PPV/HBO...Don't even DL it...its not worth the bandwidth
