    I want my money back. Stay away! The only thing worth seeing is Rosario Dawsons amazing body. Aside from that everything sucked balls such as Jolie costume made of Lycra and that awful soundtrack.

    As the father of a 1 year old, I barely remember what the inside of a theater looks like.

    Anyway, I wonder if Stone has been playing up the whole homosexual storyline knowing that the film would tank. This way, he gets some folks in just for that, and can blame Americans inability to deal with Alexander's bi-sexuality as the reason it tanked (and help him overseas also).

    In any event, was Alex gay? In the modern sense he was bisexual, but in the ancient sense, he was quite mainstream for people of his social class (though, some argue that the idea that all the Greeks were gay was a Roman exageration to contrast Greek "decadence" with Roman "manly virtues"). In any event, I have bearly heard peep of compliant on this part (except for some Greeks)

    One other point is that Stone apparently received a subsidy from teh French government to make the movie.
