Alexander the Great could have ruled the world has his mother not been Angelina Jolie

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 2012)

The story of Alexander the Great (Colin Farrell) is a great one to hear and read about, but to watch and hear the thoughts of those that the history is written about is purely amazing. The movie may or may not be historically accurate but the way it's told with Anthony Hopkins as the narrator entering the mind and suspected reasoning of Alexander is powerful. How the movie is separated into sections of Alexander's history is great too, how his early life was defined by his relationship with his seemingly evil mother, Olympias (Angelina Jolie) and his angry father, Philip (Val Kilmer) to his journey across the known worlds, all the way to his downfall.
NOTES: Did not like the scene that turned red when Alexander (Colin Farrell) fell. Anthony Hopkins as the narrator is great. Cleitus (Gary Stretch) performance towards the end of the movie is strong. Colin Farrell had some strong scene's throughout the movie.
