Tedium.

Rating: 1/10 (25 November 2004)

Horrid.
HORRID.
I couldn't tolerate this film, much less keep from laughing during scenes I knew were supposed to be cried at. I mean, really. What a waste of $10.50. People should be paid to see it. It made me want to shoot myself.
I'm fine with homosexuality. Really. But that Persian eunuch was just too much. With his "sexy" dancing. It made me wince. I was all for Hephaestion and Alexander. I didn't see what would attract Alexander to the eunuch, anyway. And I'm a woman. The first battle scene was decent, but the rest was ridiculous. People left in the middle. Never in my life have I seen so many people leave during a movie. It was astonishingly tedious. The inane dialogue, the ridiculous sex scene between Alexander and Roxane. That growling was just too much.
Troy was an Oscar winner compared to this.
And that truly says a lot.
