Not Worth the Money, Glad I Didn't Pay

Rating: Null/10 (24 November 2004)

Three hours was WAY too long for this movie. That length is tolerable for certain movies that advance well in plot, but for "Alexander", the movie seemed to reach the halfway point and then just dragged ON and ON and ON and ON and ON . . .
I don't know what exactly it was but my attention was drifting throughout the entire movie. I'd be WATCHING it but was not really gaining anything from it. It was captivating at first but that feeling died down after less than a half an hour into it. It seemed really hard to follow the plot - certain things were dragged out too long and others happened too quickly.
It is becoming increasingly more expensive to go to the movies these days and some films just aren't worth $9 a person. Some aren't even worth the $6 Matinée prices. My fiancé won tickets to an advanced screening of this on the radio, so luckily the only thing that was wasted was our time rather than our money, too. Wait, that's not even true, we bought snacks . . . THIS MOVIE WAS A WASTE OF POPCORN, TOO! :(
