COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Three wasted hours. submitted by GJBarnett2 on July 6, 2015, 11:17pm I took real talent to turn the story of one of the greatest, if not the greatest conqueror in history into almost three boring hours of wasted time emphasizing Alexander's eclectic sexuality and mother issues. Watch "Troy" instead. Peter O'Toole as King Priam is, alone, worth the price of admission.

Agreed... submitted by Kikumatsu97 on July 6, 2015, 11:43pm This movie is cast with the worst of Hollywood's actors in my opinion. Colin Farrell? Mmmmnooo. For another example of a similar atrocity see 5 minutes of (Pompeii) deeeezaster.

Alexander submitted by crp on August 12, 2019, 7:11pm It was hard to watch this over three while
Hours ... I felt it was overwrought and underwhelming.

But why? submitted by robinmariepeterson on August 12, 2023, 10:08pm Angelina Jolie is supposed to be Colin Farrell’s mom? What? And…everything else is trash, too
