Gimme my ticket money back! (or how easy is to ruin an epic)

Rating: 5/10 (17 May 2004)

What a waste of cast and money! The director had probably the best cast of actors available and all the CG power he could get, only to deliver a movie that made people laugh. I mean, after a while I really expected that Achil-lee (pun intended) would "enter the dragon"! It's small things that ruin a movie, mr. director, and you had plenty of them wrong in there.
I was teased by the movie trailer and had hoped this movie would stand out, but the director made a tremendous effort to make the worst out of the means he had at his disposal. Some people can't learn any lessons; not even just follow the trail blazed by other _good_ movies of the genre.
As a movies fan I was disappointed. As a Greek I was saddened. I just hope Oliver Stone will do a better job in "Alexander".
