Has anyone seen Alexander?

slickdadd · Nov 26, 2004

I'm debating whether to go see it tonight because I have heard it is incredibly boring, and overall crappy. Anyone seen it?

jaded · Nov 26, 2004

haven't seen it, but i heard the first hour is pretty slow...

RADAR · Nov 26, 2004

All the reviews i've read said it bombed!! 3 hrs of boring!

slickdadd · Nov 26, 2004

Yep. I have low attention span, so sitting through a 3 hour movie is hard enough for me, but if it is incredibly boring I'm screwed. I hear it is crap. Just curious what someone who has seen it has to say.

string_bean00 · Nov 26, 2004

I was going to see it tonight until I noticed it was three hours long. Fuck that. I don't have that kind of attention span.

Don't waste your fucking time.

Havn't seen it but heard it sucked!! Only two short, minor fight scenes and a whole bunch of guy on guy action.
Don't waste the money is what I was told. If you want to see it wait till the vid comes out and rent it for $2.

rent the dvd and kill beers

Just you 57 punks against me; Kung Fu Joe? The master of Karate, Kung fu, Jujutsu....and some other shit you ain't never hearda..HAHAHA *200 cops open fire*

javaguru · Nov 27, 2004

Good to see it's historically accurate with the guy on guy action...lol. Another over hyped historical epic..... nothing new, started with "Cleopatra".

HUCKLEBERRY FINNaplex · Nov 27, 2004

I'm a huge Colin Farrell fan,he's a fantastic actor IMO,and I have most of his movies on DVD.That being said,I haven't heard a single person say one thing positive about Alexander,so it must be a total disaster.I'll wait for the DVD.

I wasn't really buying Rex Harrison as Cesar, but it was a great movie.
That sea battle was sweet.

I just got back from watching it, let alone being confused here and there, he added
lots of...
*Spoiler kinda*

Gayness

which woulda been fine, but 10x was overkill

slickdadd · Nov 28, 2004

Yep, I heard from my friends that went whom I bailed on because I heard it was shitty, and they confirmed. Totally shitty. Waste of 3 hours and 8 or 9 bucks. I love being right.

Spartacus · Nov 28, 2004

so itwas gay
alexander was bi
3 hours is too much of that crap
world conguerer and all
you just don't get much historical respect

GoldenDelicious · Nov 28, 2004

im glad it bombed, anyone trying to portray alexander as a fag deserves to lose their hundred million dollar investment

The Greatest · Nov 28, 2004

one of the better gay porno's of the year, from what I hear.

Uhm...he was bi dude... Get over it. It was a long time ago.

wutangnomo · Nov 28, 2004

They made the movie waayyyyy too Hollywood. I mean come on now, they have Angelina Jolie playing the dudes mother. WTF??? Especially the way they are bombarding you with Alexander marketing left, right, and center, seems like everywhere you go there is an Alexander ad right in your face. You know they're trying to squeeze as much out of this movie to try and break even lol.

It looks bad in commercials. Conquer your fear...and you'll conquer this movie.

LOL...as an upper class Macedonian not only would he be partaking of other men but also young boys. C'mon his cavalry unit was called the "companions", uber geigh.

javaguru · Nov 29, 2004

I'm definitely waiting until it comes out on DVD.

Dial_tone · Nov 29, 2004

I can't buy colin farrell nor brad pitt as a roman fighting dude.

It Sucked More Than The New Yorks Giants Offensive Line

SanFrancisco · Nov 30, 2004

I just don't understand why they made Colin Farrell look like he was doing Stevie Nicks in drag towards the end. Split ends and velvet cloaks, i was ready for him to tear into a version of "Dreams" or "Stand Back"... ..well he was gay in the movie.

And didn't they have hot oil treatments in 300 BC?

And what about Angelina Jolie playing his mother even though she's just one year older than him!
And that overactor Anthony Hopkins walking around that cheap set chewing the cheap scenery. It looked like a set for a soap opera. Hopkins is the most overrated actor of our time.

Cool battle sequences - and Stones one forray into stylism paid off - the cross processed infrared battle scene was cool.

SanFrancisco · Nov 30, 2004
