Overall a pretty good film

Rating: 8/10 (14 February 2008)

When this movie first came out I heard and read all the bad reviews and how everyone said it was so boring. I have always liked Oliver Stones films so I that I would probably like it. I found it for sale about a year after it came out at a used movie store. I picked it up on DVD for around five bucks. I watched it later that week and was pretty surprised, overall it was a pretty good movie. Yes it was long and sometimes a little boring, but if you are interested in the story of Alexander or of historical figures it will keep you attention throughout. Colin Farrel does a OK job in the title roll and Val Kilmer is a convincing King Phillip. So I recommend seeing this film, and I recommend going into it to prepare to have the patience through the slow parts, it will be worth it.
