    Thumbs down Alexander

    If you like never-ending epics about gay sex and conquering the world while you're at it, then this is the flick for you.

    Seriously.

    With a beginning and ending that are very much like sitting in a boring history class (I've had history professors that were a lot more interesting than Anthony Hopkins managed to be).

    I'm all for historical accuracy, but it's uh - a MOVIE. You could throw some plot in there or something beyond the - battle here, guys kissing, battle there... Decent battle scenes, but not much of anything else to pull it together.

    It made Troy look damn good in comparison though.

    I'd agree with everything you said, AG.

    I'm all about accuracy and fidelity, but some things seemed a little tooo exagerrated.

    Also, how the movie jumped all over the place...very disjointed and distracting.

    I take it this doesn't mean Angelina and some hot girl on girl action.

    no such luck...she plays the biggest and most spiteful, but yet still hot, hag I have ever seen.

    such a waste.

    in the meantime, Alexander's wife has some tig 'ol bitties....

    Thumbs down Agreed.

    This movie was not good. Not at all good. Why do people who make movies about ancient history have the actors speak in english but with weird accents? I mean, if you're going to loosen the historical accuracy in order to make the language understandable to your audience that's fine. Who wants to see a bunch of people trying to speak ancient greek or egyptian? But what the fuck does a (very fake) russian accent add to the movie. Angelina Jolie may be hot, but she's a terrible fucking actress.
