OK, are we talking about Alexander the Great here or a gigolo philosopher?

WOW, it was a long time since I felt like getting out of the theater as soon as possible and buy a ticket for the next Chucky film! OK, I'm exaggerating, but what is definitely true is that this film was the most boring one I have watched in awhile. Was it really 3 hours? It looked like 10! Boring, boring, BORING.
I'd rather see a "dumb film" that entertained me than this monologued crap full of trash philosophy. I couldn't stand the last hour of this thing, and it doesn't happen often, really. Is it true that the director wanted to made this film as historically accurate as possible? Did he even think of the entertainment value? It's so slow-paced and the camera so unsteady that I couldn't even enjoy the battles.
And what about the "dyed blonde" Alexander with dark eyebrows? What the HELL was that? Who the HECK thought of portraying him as blonde in the first place? A super-production with such a bad make-up is just offensive, and Collin Farrell is just not up to the task. His "leadership" was totally unconvincing, along with an overall bad acting and, yet again, his dyed hair just made me laugh (and all the people that came with me). Ah, and let's not forget the Jolie mother who looks like his younger sister (with dark brown hair????). Collin, stick to the bad boy thingy, please!
If I should know that I would spend 3 hours praying for this mumbo jumbo to end, I should have read a book about the REAL Alexander and actually LEARN something about him.
Nothing else to add. Just a waste of time and money, and of good actors by the way, like Sir Anthony Hopkins.
