Excellent Movie

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2006)

For the life of me I can not figure out why so many people think so negatively of this movie. It had excellent actor: Colin Ferrel, Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, etc. It had an excellent plot filled with Alexander's turmoil and lust for conquest. The movie had it all and I do not understand why so many people seem to hate it.
I fear that the movie after so much hype came at a bad time. To many people expected an action packed fantasy, much the same as lord of the rings. However, Alexander goes above and beyond.
However, the main reason I believe the movie suffered so much, was because of Alexander's suspected homosexuality. In that time it was very common for men to have relations with both men and females, and I personally believe that the movie portrayed that view well and discreetly. This movie lacked any homosexual sex scenes while still driving a powerful love between to men home. It was done with class and grace and I do not know many non homosexual men that would be offended by the way the movie portrayed it.
I highly recommend the movie to anyone who wishes to see an amazing movie!
