Could have been so much better

Rating: Null/10 (30 November 2004)

There were aspects of this movie that I liked but I found too many things that I didn't like so overall I would say that it's not likely that I would ever be motivated to see it again.
The casting really sucked. This Irish kid cannot pass himself off as Alexander. He looked like someone in diapers - totally unconvincing as Alexander as was his mother in her part although admittedly better, at least she tried for an accent, forgotten the actresses name - Jolie I think. It's hard to immerse yourself in the characters when they're spouting off in Irish accents. Lousy speeches, pretty unconvincing and not well delivered. What a tired movie this was.
The "gay" part - no problem with that. That's always been a part of history, always will be.
Tha battles - no setup, no strategy - how did Alexander command his generals. How did he put it together?
The interruption in the middle of the movie with a flashback. The movie was broken up all over the place.
Could have been Soooo... much better. Ah well - one day maybe. We could shoot for Ghenkis Khan maybe or Hannibal or some such raping and plundering scoundrel.
