I watched Alexander, and I don't quite know what to make of it. It's disjointed, weird and long-winded, but oddly compelling.
Alexander sounds like George Bush (or a neocon) when he explains his reasons for invading Asia and bringing civilization to its tribes.
I have to admit that I snickered after hearing the narrator say that "Babylon was a far easier mistress to enter than she was to leave".
Alexander's bisexuality, as depicted in the film, was not particularly disturbing and it was tastefully handled. That sort of thing was probably an accepted part of Greek culture back then. On the other hand, his (possibly incestuous) relationship with his mother, played by Angelina Jolie, was disturbing.
I'd give Alexander 6.5/10 .
