My Review of "Alexander"

If Homoerotcism is your thing, then definitely make seeing "Alexander" a priority on your list of things to do. Unfortunately there are only 2 epic battle scenes (the first of which I thought was very, very good.) But the rest of the film is filled with melodramatic histrionics and homosexual shenanigans. So much so that it could be considered uncomfortable at times. Ferrel kisses a man in one scene and even lays naked with one in another.

It's watchable though, but I warn you, it's a bit long, and drones on for a bit. Make sure you watch it matinee, or just wait for it to come on video.

I give it a 6 out of 10

Well I'll definitely be going to see it and I'll give you my review when I do...though I'd heard they'd taken out most of the really HOT man-to-man action at the last minute...

My Breif Review:

If you're looking for dialogue that you'll break out hysterically laughing at and is so cheesy that you'll wonder when the cheddar shows up (credit: my brother), go see "Alexander". Otherwise, avoid this chatty, discombobulated mess like the plague.

THE worst movie of the year, bar none (yes, it managed to be worse than "Superbabies", something I never thought could be possible).

No I haven't...my brother has (and he's more into movies than I am and both "Alexander" and "Superbabies" were worse than "Soul Plane").

I should mention that it's not surprising the "Worst Movie Of The Year" comes out at this time...this is when the studios actually try, so they either fall flat on their faces (like "Alexander") or triumph magically ("Ray").
