it could've been less gay

Rating: 1/10 (26 November 2004)

I just saw this movie tonight and I can truly say it's just horrible. let's see...
Pros: -Beautifully shot. Good job portraying some great scenes. -1 out of the 2 battle scenes was really good. It was done in a very original way...a nice change from the usual battle scenes we see in these "epic" movies. The second battle scene was VERY unique as well, but that's about all I can commend to that. -Good acting by Val Kilmer as Alexander's father. Colin Farrel and Angelina Jolie are questionable...
Cons: (is there even enough space to list them?) -Poor story-telling. The point of some scenes are lost and the story itself lacks continuity: the movie jumps from era to era way too much (e.g. 6 years later, then 4 years earlier, then 40 years later, then 8 years earlier, etc.). -Way too many references of Alexander's "gay" side. Even if it IS true that he was bisexual, the way they implemented the notions of that idea into the movie were completely overdone - to the point where it distracts you from the movie itself. -way too many more to list.
Don't see this movie if you have to pay for it...
