A True Epic.

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2004)

It really annoys me how people these days seem to "dump" films that don't have killing, sex, and lies during the whole movie.
This movie is what a true epic is meant to be. This isn't another testosterone filled Troy that spends all two and a half hours showing decapitations. I saw this movie last night and i'm pleased to say it's a wonderful film worth my three hours at $7 i spent to watch it. I think people are confused and wanted to see a three hour long war movie... but this is not the case.. This shows the life of Alexander from birth to death, with only two major battle scenes. The CGI, sets, is amazing. Babylon is beautiful.. Alexander's trek across Asia is visually stunning. The only complains i may have are the accents, and it does seem a little slow at times. Overall, this movie is exactly what I wanted to see... if i wanted to see Troy again, i would have waited for it to come out on DVD. Yet it's funny how the modern man's ignorance is displayed in "homosexuality" just grow up. It's part of life.. just as anything else is.
This film is def. worth seeing... 8/10.
