My family liked this movie, although after a while the homosexuality got too much. The scene with Dawson was avoidable for me, although my husband, predictably, thought it the best part of the movie. But I thought that the movie did a pretty good job of showing how Alexander's conquests changed the world of his time.

It sort of failed in showing his charismatic bond with his troops, and I think it should have had an additional battle (Chaeryonea (sp?)), Granicus, or Isssus. I mean, they TRIED (the scenes where Alexander is picking out individual soldiers in the Phalanx and remembering their names, talking about their families or previous heroism) but it was too jarring a contrast with his whining and crying otherwise.
