battles great; plot one of the most awful i've ever seen

Rating: 1/10 (25 December 2004)

be honest, what would you expect of a move about Alexander "the Great"? Battles, because that's what he did most of his life! and here in this movie you have half an hour of battles, and two hours of love story. Who is interested in this??? The battle shootings were absolutely fine: No stirrups for the cavalry, the phalanx in motion, the view of the battle from above. But they don't save the movie.
I almost died of boredom when watching the movie. I thought it'd be Luhrmann's take on Alexander to show his emotional sides, and that Stone will mainly focus on the important historic facts. How bad could Luhrmann's movie have been...i don't even wanna know...
