Terrible; terrible, terrible - terrible. Terrible...

Rating: 2/10 (15 October 2005)

Wow. What - a - disaster. This is the second worst movie I've ever seen. The first one was a Chinese movie that looked like a home-video, with English voice-overs.
This movie had lots of potential. Great actors, huge budget and a hero's bio to work with, how else could this movie have been thrown in the trash?
First, let's talk about some of the good things about this film. 1) Great CG effects and battle sequences. Maybe a little too graphic, but great for people who are into bloody war sequences. 2) Somehow kept me watching, although I hated it.
Now for the bad things. Well - there was a lot. 1) the cast. Paid the wrong people to do the job. What was up with there accents? I would have rather seen a subtitled version of the movie. 2) If you've read any of the passed reviews, you would already know about the terrible chronology. Someone stated it perfectly, "It's like watching this movie with the reels all mixed in the wrong places." Wow, what a disaster. 3) Although the homosexuality of the Greek culture is true to history, that's not what Alexander the Great was about. He wasn't "Great" because he was a homosexual or whatever the director was trying to portray. He was great for a lot of historical events that the director chose not to include to fit in boring, useless homosexual sequences.
There are worse things about this movie, but I'm not going to waste my time. Don't see it, there is a more interesting biography on his life on the History Channel. And if what you want to see it the battle sequences, watch Troy or the Last Samurai.
