Well, I hate to say it, but this film was a disappointment. I suppose I had high hopes considering that it is an Oliver Stone film, but in the end the film just didn't seem to have any real direction or purpose. It felt like regurgitated history with no angle of intrigue. The characters were weak, uninteresting, and poorly defined (plus they had horrible accents). Overall it was just boring. If you want to see something more interesting about Alexander try ... Reign: The Conqueror.
