I thought Troy was pretty good. Alexander seems to be a crappy movie to me.

My daughter married into a family of the Greek Orthodox faith. Believe me, you don't mess with Greeks...LOL. My son in law is a sweetie, but his family is very animated in their thoughts, and they DO NOT like this movie.

'The battle for Fallujah would make an exceptional movie in the "Black Hawk Down" vein, except of course we win, which gives the producers pause. Wouldn't that be, like, endorsing the war? Can't have that.'
nah, can't have THAT!

The movie and the reaction to it is really silly. Maybe no one is seeing it, because the movie stinks.
The MSM is making a big deal out of it, because they simply can't understand the facts.

When I heard who the Director was, and who was starring as Alexander, I decided I wouldn't see this movie. When I heard that Angelina Jolie was co-starring, I thought I could hold my nose and go.
Since this was probably a typical, trashy Hollywood movie, I was certain to see Angelina Jolie and Colin Ferrell do the dirty deed. Then I found out Angelina plays Colin's mom. I am back to not seeing this flick.
Tonight I watched Tomb Raider on satelite, again, even though I have it, on DVD.
I am a fan of I, Claudius. I've seen the series 3-4 times. Episode 5, "Poison Is Queen," is my favorite. I read the books too.

It seems that Oliver Stone has given undue attention to Alexander's sexual proclivities as compared to the fact that Alexander conquered much of the known world. Furthermore, the whole idea of Alexander as a bottle blonde mullet man is laughable at best.
In short, Stone is a twit. The movie deserves to die an inglorious death.

Why can't the studios make another Gladiator? Give us a lead character we can care about, a noble hero, with flaws of course, but someone striving to right a wrong or save a loved one, with fast-paced fight scenes...it wouldn't be that hard, really, but Hollywood can't seem to get it right.

There is good news here.
It will be far more difficult for Oliver Stoned to raise money for future projects. So expect to see less of his wacky view of the world.

Keep in mind that Brad Pitt's "Troy" didn't exactly lead to Sparta Fever sweeping the nation, either.So true, I recall Brad Pitt promising that "We'd have everyone wearing skirts by this summer."
Anyone see Mr. Pitt lately? Didn't think so.
