It was the most boring movie I'd ever seen in a long time. There was a fair bit of gayness to it, but it was the lamest gayness ever. For gay, it was teh ghey. La Cage aux Folles was gay in a good way. I get the gayness of Boys Don't Cry. Kiss of the Spider Woman was gay and cool.
But as gaiety goes, Alexander is bad. I respect that Jared Leto did a good job of pretending to be in love with Colin Farrell. But, that didn't save how lame and stupid this entire movie was.
I found myself falling asleep during battle sequences. I woke up and looked over to my friend and asked him if anything was happening yet.
It was only like 3 hours but it felt like 8 years. I say avoid this movie. It's gay in a bad way. And boring as hell.
On the political side of it, you can't help but compare Alexander to Dubya. Not with a line like "I'm conquering Persia to free them!"
You get that both Dubya and Alexander are inept leaders who are waging war to deal with the lack of love they got from their fathers.
