I got to see the movie. I liked parts, like when collin farell is kissing other men, but I just could not get into any of the characters. I mean if Hepasthion is going to be the love of Alexander's life, why don't they actually have a real conversation??? Or any real interaction together? I think Legolas and Aragorn had more interaction in LOTR and they were just friends.
I just feel that if you are going to make a charcter bisexual they should at least go at it 100% not half-ass it through the movie. Jared Leto is normally a very handsome man but in this movie it's like they put on make-up to make him look uglier or something. :(
anyway I was dissapointed to seome extint because the story was murky, I felt like laughing every time Angeline Jolie opened her mouth and talked (she sounded like the bride of dracula), the battles were dissapointing and confusing. I wanted to see this battle formation Alexander's army was so famous for.
Hopefully the next Alexander movie will make more sense...though I'm not sure if Leonardo DeCaprio would make a better Alexander than Farell...though I will say one thing about DeCaprio, the man can act and is not shy.
well I just got home from work and I'm going to bed now.

This post would be more coherent if it were earlier ^^'''

It's like he was less than a woman when he was Alexander's confidant. I didn't like that at all. They made him into this very femmy boy who was always quiet and we assumed fought but got socked in the face and didn't do anything. I was very annoyed by that.
