Default Alexander....ja oder nein? - 11-26-2004, 01:38 AM

So I'm back in town for thanksgiving break and a friend of mine has free tickets to see a sneak preview of alexander monday night. I was pretty excited to see this movie, I'm a history major and I love big epic historic movies...and I knew there was so much they could do with a movie about alexander the great...However, I was soon in a for a rude awakening....out of more than 10 years of alexanders life which were spent in a constant state of warfare....the movie only shows 2 battle scenes...and guagelmela which was a pretty cool scene....could have been so much better. Seriously, you know the movie is sucking when theres more guy on guy action then there is actual fighting....Now I'm not saying the movie was terrible, I could apreciate most of it because they did alot of forshadowing of his past and they tried to bring to life the "human side" of alexander by showing his personal life and the diferent problems he faced, etc. which was ok, but nothing I would have wanted to pay for. Bottom line is this, if you aren't big into history then this movie blows cock....there is little or no action in this movie, which is a shame because in a movie about one of the great conquerors of all time they leave out so many battles and campaigns its not even funny. I mean in a movie about alexander the great they didnt even talk about or really show his "companion cavalry" which was his elite cavalry force... hake: Anyways, I'd say the movie was a big disapointment...they could have done so much with it...but didn't, anyone else see it?

lol, was there a cameo appearance of Brad "Achilles" Pitts' arse? eek:


The Australian director Baz Luhrman is also making an Alex the great
movie, he did "Moulin Rouge"...so who knows how the fuck, there could
be even more guy on guy action plus all singing all dancing!, or it could
be great, hope it doesn't cave in because their thunders been stolen tho.

I heard this movie was stupendously bad. I'll avoid it like "Christmas With The Kranks"

Someone really needs to take out Tim Allen. annoy:

that sucks... the companions are such an awesome part of the story... Antigonus Monophthalamos had one was well over six feet tall and must been one scary fucker, i would love to see him in a movie, plus he died in battle at the age of 80, he musta been tough...

i feared this movie would be a let down, as a Classics major I find that many of theses pseudo-historical films are... Hell, I still haven't watched Troy...

Christmas with the Kranks has too much screaming in it (mainly by Jamie Lee Curtis).

I would have thought that Alexander would be a good movie, but from what ALOT of people have postet, I changed my mind.

Usually whatever movie Ebert & Ropert [sp?] like, I hate. Whatever they hate, I like.

well, considering battle scenes cost millions to make, how many could you expecti n one movie. 2 is more then enough for me. Surprise though that Oliver Stone could have fucked up "this badly".

i thougth it was good, but i missed the first hour of it. angelina jolie is sexy but i didnt like taht accent. i thought it was pretty cool that nearly all the dudes had battle scars or some disfigurment. ill see it again to catch the beginning. it was pretty long though.
