Alexander's great love was said to be Hephaistion, who is played in the film by Jared Leto, but unless you know Jared Leto by face, even late in the movie you'll have no idea which one he was. I thought he was this other guy, equally handsome, equally vapid, equally unmemorable, whom Alexander prongs with a spear in a drunken rage late in the movie. But that was some other guy.

For a minute, I thought I was reading a Mark Steyn review (Ultimate Compliment!)

I'm currently reading Steven Pressfield's "The Virtue of War" which is a fictional autobiography of Alexander. Very interesting and would make a terrific movie. It looks like Stone's flick is like "Troy", another wasted opportunity.
