Awful-completely awful

Rating: 1/10 (28 November 2004)

I WAS looking forward to this. It was horrible. Colin Farrell unfortunately looked like a hysterical animal in what amounted to way too many extreme closeups. Suffice it to say we really got to examine the whites of his eyes. And, it is never a good sign when you are checking your watch regularly to see if it is almost over. The best part of the movie was Farrell's gorgeous horse-and laughing at the overacting that permeated this mess.
The hair was so bad-if Alexander was supposed to be golden boy, why on earth did they cast such a black haired guy??? I guess they think that we will believe bottle yellow hair goes with a solid black five o clock shadow. This time I totally agree with the reviewers-I just wish I had listened to it before we wasted our time on it!!
