I can't resist a spectacle. Had to go. Was only mildly disappointed and not shocked. Think the man groping comments are off base. Stone has never been able to tell a straight story and this is proof. He tries to enlighten us to the complexities of Alexander's life by showing us more than we need to know. In fact, the work was so burdened with dialog and background material that we loose the real granduer for which Alexander is known: military commander and superman.If the average knuckle-dragger goes loping in to see lots of sword play and blood he best look elsewhere.
( huh? )
