If you know me, you will know that I am not particularly discerning when it comes to films; I’m the eternal optimist, always seeking to find the positives in all films. I enjoyed all 3 Matrix films. I would even watch Episode 1 again if you asked.
Take it from me – don’t watch Alexander.
I was willing to give it a chance, but I couldn’t even finish it. It suffers from 2 fatal flaws:
- It is dull. So dull. Even the large-scale battle scenes manage to be dull.
- It is impossible to follow – the plot skips and jumps all over time and geography, meaning that you can’t really tell what sequence things happened in, and where they actually happened.
[edit]Oh, and don’t even ask about the accents. Most of Macedonia appears to be populated by the Irish, apart from Alexanders Mum, who is quite obviously Russian.[/edit]
Avoid like the plague. Go rent Gigli instead.

mrBen, I think you’re the only person I know who’s seen (or at least admitted to it) this film. You’re a brave man, if foolish.
I’m glad to see that you’ve returned from the experience unharmed for the most part.
And how was Gigli?
I went to the cinema to see it,and didnt enjoy it…atall.
You’re right,the irish get everywhere,dont they,little buggers
Dont see it, even the avengers movie is better than it,i kid ye not
I think the accent thing made perfect sense.
Because what’s his face can’t do any other accent, it made sense to do the Macedonian accent as Irish, standard Greek as English, and the forrn’ ones as something else.
