Ok, so I still haven't finished the movie, but I'm on my 3rd day of trying, so I thought I'd post my thoughts thus far:

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON??

So far, it's been... stupid scene with some kid taming a wild horse, lunatic mother telling kid what to do, huge battle scene with some guy hitting other guys with someone's head, sex scene with some chick with huge knockers where Alexander tries to make an heir, and lots of man-looks.  Oh, and I had to see frickin Colin Farrel's BALLS!   :mad:

This movie is really confusing and somewhat hard to follow other than a few of the basic plot details.

So far I give it a 5/10, and 4 of those are for the naked chick.  This is for the Director's Cut, BTW.

Tell me about it.  Imagine being casted for the movie:

"You have to play a major homo and show your balls to the world, but you get to roll around with THIS hottie!"

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Were any of those big epics (Troy, Alexander, etc) any good?  I love those types of movies, but haven't heard anything good about the recent ones.

Troy was OK. But overall, I like King Arthur most...it was not an epic story per se, but the movie never claimed that it is something more than a fairy tale.

I really liked Troy.  I actually went out and bought it after renting it through Netflix.

Didn't the trailers sell it as based on a true story or something?

Ok, finally finished it last nite.  The ending sucked worse than the beginning.  I didn't think the narrator bit helped at all, the fight scenes were too long, and you really had to know your history to truly know what they were talking about half the time.  Plus Angelina Jolie had this awful accent (but she's still nice to gawk at).  

The dialogue in this movie was also horrible.  Very slow and predictable.  I could have written it.

It lost 2 points in the last 1/3, so my total score for this movie is a 3/10, and that's even with the hot sex scene with the awesome tits.
