Best movie of this year hands down!
... View MoreYou won't be disappointed!
... View MoreThis is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
... View MoreIt's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
... View MoreSo many great actors but such poor scripting and movie content...and acting. Love Colin but not a great choice for the lead. Expected better from an Oliver Stone production.
... View MoreStory about Alexander the Great. Based on fact or just made up? Who knows, but it is long winded and boring. Just when you are hoping it is about to finish, it carries on. Just when you think Alexander is going to die and the movie will end, it continues. When he finally does die, the movie still continues
... View MoreIn this film you wouldn't know it. He was in battles, but the battles seemed little more than two armies going at it. What I would have enjoyed was learning about his thinking about military strategy, his tactics, his philosophies, how he implemented his ideas on the battlefield.Instead, we get a (very boring) story of Alexander as being a mama's boy and as someone trying unsuccessfully to please his father. It is the story of a neurotic, not of one of the greatest generals of all time.There are a few great battles, but after awhile they too get boring. What was happening? All you see is the small picture (guys hacking each other up). You don't see Alexander planning, plotting, strategizing, analyzing, etc. He's just another guy hacking away.He doesn't come across as a great man.The decision to jump around in history is puzzling. It makes the film hard to follow and disjointed. We don't get a sense of change in him, or in the world, or in his leadership or his generalship. It's cute, but distracting.The film is as bad as most people have rated it to be. There is nothing about him that would make me want to follow him. Instead, I'd want to give him a hankie so he would have something to cry into.
... View MoreThis film is truly terrible, in almost every respect.It does highlight a major fault with the IMDb rating system, in that one star is far too generous. If I could give it zero stars, I would. If I could bill those behind this film for my time wasted, I would.The sum contribution of all the people involved in the making of this film, however, cannot be dismissed quite so easily. They have found a cure for insomnia orders of magnitude better than temazepam. A warning though - I didn't get through a lot this film, and it may be possible to overdose and cause severe damage to your neural functions.Overall, best avoided.
