| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Alexander the Great |
Women will enjoy this movie more than men, as it is full of cute, partially clothed guys (unless of course you are that kind of guy.) Colin Farrell is undoubtedly attractive, and this movie makes the most of his physical attractions. He leaps on and off horses, he fights, he loves (men and women), he doubts, he fights some more, he conquers, and he fights again, leading his men as far as India, conquering the world, before falling foul of elephants and self doubt, typhus and prehistoric medicine.
