to much is 'trop', as the French would say

Rating: 4/10 (24 February 2005)

OK Alexander was gay... everybody was gay in these times... but he did much more than just fight and love boys (and some girls). Why didn't they mention his library, schools and so much more. The movie really left me unsatisfied! This might just be the kind of movies that will give todays youth a wrong idea of history.
OK there was much aspect for the psychology of Alexander and the reasons that have driven him to act in certain ways. But still, for a movie that long, they might have mentioned the other aspects of the 'heroes' life.
The acting wasn't bad. Even OK. But I must admit that i had expected more from the director. Oliver Stone brought us masterpieces, but Alexander is a mistake that we must forget and forgive. Maybe the cast, legend and director, raised the expectations so high that the movie can't realize. Anyway, making a movie about an historic figure that is so well known as Alexander is always a risky business. Better luck next time!
