So much for the bad reviews this movie got. It still was number one at the box office this week. I saw it on Monday and thought it was a lot better than what I had expected. Alexander was number 6 this week. Im surprised at that considering Oliver Stone was the director and Colin Farrell and Angelina Joli were the stars. Looks like the bad reviews really hurt this film.

I think National treasure looks really good, I would like to see it. I saw where Alexander got bad reviews. Colin's hair looks funny blond....

Alexander was NOT what it was advertised to be.

it was advertised and SHOULD have been a great epic war movie. Making a movie about the man that completely took over the world would be expected to be a very intense film.

instead, they focused on the absolute wrong things, which included his sketchy relationships with men (yes, gay relationships), weomen, and his crazy mother.

Although 1 of 2 of the battle scenes they DID have was quite simply amazing, it didnt make up for the rest of the crappy movie.

it was over narrated, boring, and had phony accents. it kills me to see a movie with such potential go down the tubes.

Alexander is remembered for conquering the world against so many odds, they should have made the move about what people remember him for, what people CARE about. he wasnt remembered for being bisexual or his whaked out relationship with his parents.

i think they should rename it "Alexander the Fabulous"

These guys liked it:

Thats a funny pic Eddie, haha.

Who are those? That's a California plate... don't lie and say you don't know them and they're from somewhere in the Midwest!!

I have no idea who those "guys" are. I typed in "homo" on Google image search and the pic came up on the first page.

See for yourself .

Okay, okay... I believe you.

So which one are you? The one on the left?

NATIONAL TREASURE........a movie that going in I expected to be total dogs*it(but then why did I see it? I went with some folks and best of all, I didn't PAY!) turned out to be.....well, rather watchable. Maybe its because for a Bruckheimer-produced feature, it was directed by someone that isn't an over-editing hack like Michael Bay(or by a badly over-compensating editorially, but not a hack, Tony Scott in some of the flicks he had directed under Bruckheimer). Maybe also because it wasn't as insulting historical-wise like PEARL HARBOR was.

Then again, I don't know if its possible for an ancient 3-D map to be on the back of the Declaration of Independence, or how easily it can be stolen or how high tech the security measures are for it or if the Free Masons were that powerful to smuggle billions of dollars worth of treasure over an ocean....alot of things that one day I'll examine and poke fun at, but the movie is watchable. Decent popcorn fare it is(but for a Bruckheimer movie, its good praise).

However, that *SPOILER*...................flashback sequence with the 60+ year oldJon Voight wearing a wig and some make-up tricks to look younger by about 2-3 decades....ya me and several of my friends laughed when we saw that. Besides, even if no one had seen the TV ads or trailers, you could tell that Sean Bean was going to be the big baddie. Why? Because hes a BRITISH rich smug prick trying to steal an AMERICAN document in the Declaration of Independence and an AMERICAN-stored treasure. Its like the Nazis in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK trying to steal the Jewish artifact that is the Ark....

Oh and one final word.....I am indeed waiting for Mr.Soprano to post how I "don't know movies" because I didn't totally dig this movie(though I enjoyed it but whatever).

I cant beleive theres even a debate here. What a retarted movie,and no I havent seen it. And I dont need to. All the previews on TV are enough. Cant believe Keitel agreed to it. :rolleyes:

No, the retarded thing is you judging the movie without even seeing it.

:rolleyes:

Your absolutely right, if this wasnt Hollywood. After seeing so many of the same formulaic movies, you get to the point where you can predict the end by watching the TV commercails. :rolleyes:
