Watched it in the cinema...Didn't really like it~~

Rating: 5/10 (5 April 2006)

I didn't really care about the homosexual part or whether the whole film was about the truth or not. Let's face it, a film can be horrible even if it reflects the truth of history.
I didn't think the audience cared too much about whether Alexander's gay or not . I mean this year's big winner "Brokeback Mountain" showed that people just want good quality film, even gay story can be told in a very touching way.
I think this film should STOP using the homosexual and truth of history as excuses for it's generally bad feedbacks.
I mean...honestly I didn't felt I was touched by the characters in this film, not in anyway. It didn't take me anywhere special.
And it's definitely a typical Hollywood style big war epic, yep just another commercial film without depth or soul... (Compared to small budget films like "Brokeback" anyways..)
I would give this film an average rating because it's like any other film that u would watch on a tired but bored evening. And u'll finish it thinking "Good, it's time for bed".
