Poor script; hard to follow what is going on. Too much talking and not enough action. 3 hours was way TOO long for this movie. Kept looking at my watch thinking "what else can they do for another 1.5 hours"!
Timeline skips and bounces around too much. There were only 2 real battle scenes and were so confusing. Most of the time, I couldn't tell which side was which. Or what the strategy of the battle was. Seemed like an endless and pointless conquest. Didn't reall feel anything for any of the characters.
The gay/bisexual undertones would have been OK. Not sure if Alexander was bisexual or this was a figment of Oliver Stones wacky mind.
I would put it at the bottom of all the "historical war epic" type movies I've seen. Braveheart, The Patriot, even Troy were much better films of this genre.
I think all parents should be warned about the homosexual content of the movie so they can make an informed decision.
Thanks. Guess Oliver won't be getting my money. Not directly, anyway. I'll wait for it to show up on cable.
