The movie didn't capture anything, except that Alexander was Gay.

Rating: 2/10 (27 November 2004)

I would avoid this move if I were you. With the sole exception of the scenes in Persia. It did not impress me in the slightest.
I get the Alexander was gay, but they spend way, way, way too much time driving that point home. If Alexander had spent that much time being gay and doing nothing but his boy toy, his own Officers would have killed him.
Alexander was well...Great. He did incredible things. He did defeat the entire Persian Army while Vastly outnumbered. He did defeat all most every single army that faced him, no matter the odds.
That point was made by the director only as a comment by Anthony Hopkins. You never really got a feel for it.
Sorry, Gotta say that this movie is not worth the money.
