Avoid this film at all costs

Rating: 1/10 (1 February 2005)

I would like to warn everyone to avoid Alexander like the plague. I was very disappointed, i had heard the rumours about this being an epic and the battle scenes alone being worth the watch, this is not the case. I was sceptical about Colin Farrell as the lead and unfortunately he proved woefully inadequate. The battle scenes were shot in such a way that you couldn't tell what was going on, which is probably very realistic but does not make good viewing. The film drags on and on for 3 hours and i think is one of if not the worst film i have ever seen, the acting is weak, the script poor and the accents laughable, there is not a single thing about this film that redeems it. Please take my advice and avoid seeing this film, life is too short to waste 3 hours.
