Oliver, just let it go. I beg you.

But if you insist on redoing the movie every year, next time try replacing the cast as a start.

I did not know he gave it a 2nd try.

/ the movie did have good boobies, to his credit

I hope this version doesn't have as much Jar Jar.

I loved how Stone tried to say that the reason this movie bombed so hard in America was due to homophobia...and then it bombed every bit as hard in Europe.

Never saw it in theaters, but I rented the directors cut. Seriously, it wasn't that bad, especially if you like overblown historical epics.

I hope they add more Ewoks.

It was still better than Troy.

I saw the original version in the theatre. It was for me a perfect illustration of the importance of music, as here, the score made a bad movie even less bearable.

/Second worst offender, for me, is "Ladyhawk"

Rented this for laughs. PSA: Don't use it for a drinking game.

The most insulting thing about this film is that a Hispanic woman (Rosario Dawson) was cast to play an Indian. As if India doesn't have any attractive actresses to spare.

Kali, name me one Indian actress who would get naked on screen.

There ya go.

 
MBA Whore 2007-02-25 07:29:51 PM  
Would anyone here fark Rosario boobies other than me?

 
Sweaty Jerry 2007-02-25 08:42:34 PM  
Kali, Dawson's multiracial IIRC (still not Indian, I know) and...were her people ethnically Indian? I thought Oxyartes was a Bactrian chief, which would make him akin to the Tajiks. Do we have hot Tajiks willing to take it off on hand?

Are there Bollywood flicks with titties? I should have been informed by now.

Ever see Kama Sutra, the movie? One especially hot Indian an done hot one. They are not all Muslim in india, they will show them.

Kali, Will Smith played Jim West, Charleton Heston played Moses an dJim Caveziel played Jesus, those are more offensive than Rosario Dawson't breastessess

FarkmeBlind- It was still better than Troy.

Yes, 3 hours of soft-core gay porn is way more entertaining than cool fight sequences.

/Even without the constant mugging down of dudes, Alexander still sucked more ass than Richard Simmons at a Village People festival
//That analogy was weak, but the movie was still terrible, and had no redeeming qualities.
///Seriously, it's not even worth it to watch again to see Dawson's boobies. Totally not worth it.
//That Kama Sutra movie has some good fapping material in it
/Loves me some hot Indian babes...

The problem with this movie is it didn't focus on what Made Alexander GREAT

their was an Island city state. Alexander had no navy, and he wanted to co-opt this city state (who provided a good chunk of its navy to Persia)

Alexander said he would conquer their city, and for cheese movie dialouge some one should say

"are you going to build a bridge?"

he did built a big bridge across a lot of farking ocean. and used that along with some other kick ass tactics to take the Island.

No one did stuff like that Except Alexander. And that would have been an awesome movie...

instead, Stone had to focus on the GhEy

He wasn't great because of liking it in the butt he was great because he did shiat no other general at the time would have thought to do... and very few people in our day would try to pull either
