Review:Alexander

[Teenweek]

Boring and Very Gay. However Angelina Jolie is hot in a robe with snakes all over her body. Don't waste your time.

But how is it from a historical perspective???

i haven't seen it. I saw Troy and they fucked that up. So I knew this was going to suck.

Don't see it, I wasted hours of my life I wish I had back.

I did get to see Collin Ferrell's nuts though, that was fun.

The guy that made this movie wishes he could have back the 15 years of his life that he spent on it. Plus the 150 million he spent.

MASTA MEAT

The fight in india with the elephants was good and the part with Angelina Jolie with snakes all over her was great. The rest blew.

Having homosexuality in the movie wasn't a bad thing, as it was a fairly significant part of the culture at that time. However it was in our faces the entire 3 hours. We get it...he likes guys...get over it!!

So little of the movie really focused on Alexander's abilities as a leader and general. The movie makes you think that 'there's Philip, he's dead, now Alexander is in charge and everyone goes along with it." You don't see that Alexander was successful and well-liked pretty much from the start of assuming a position of command in combat. The movie displaces (I believe) the battles he fought to bring Greece into line (the crucial battles were when Philip was king), and his initial conquests into Eqypt. In most ways, that time was far more critical to understanding Alexander. He was a great leader but a man. Getting to Eqypt and being declared pharoah, and thus divine, was what I remember beginning a change in his aspirations to rule as much as possible of the known world.

The Battle of Gaugamela was not that well handled for the viewers. This was one battle among many that showed what a tactical genius Alexander was, and you don't get an entire feel for that.

And Stone managed to sneak some conspiracy theory into the movie....I'm surprised he didn't find a way to link it to Kennedy.
