Torrid sex scenes will be especially entertaining. One CNN reviewer called it "a date movie for everyone," since the sex scenes include both hetero and homosexual varieties.
If "torrid sex scenes" means Alex and his babe rolling around, hissing and spitting at each other like two cats in heat, I guess this movie did have that. It was more ridiculous than hot.
The homosexual stuff was mostly implied, Alex and his good buddy talking about it and hugging a lot but nothing else.
Mostly this movie is just unbelievably boring. It seemed like every minute of three hours long, or even longer. The battle scenes are exciting, but the rest of it is lousy. Angelina Jolie should get some kind of award for overacting, and she never seems to age one day between the time Alex is born and when he's thirty years old. Did they have botox back then?
The worst character is Alexander himself. He's a complete dweeb. You can't imagine him being able to lead men across the road let alone conquer all the "known world." What a waste.
Alexander's philosophy of conquering other countries "for their own good" was kind of interesting considering current events.
And the one hour promo-disquised-as-programming "History vs. Hollywood" on the History Channel didn't manage to generate much heat either. Even Oliver Stone seemed like he was bored with the effort, when interviewed.

Actually, it will be interesting to see how Stone handles a sword and sandal flick.
But will Val Kilmer be able to hold a candle up to the late Richard Burton?
The special effects should be better anyways.

Yes, Alexander swings his sword both ways.

I haven't heard a good review of the movie yet.

I'll wait till it's on "TCM"...
