Query: Indulgent rubbish

What a pitiful excuse for a movie. Not only is it boring and self-indulgent, but it is also a insult to the subject matter. I'm not talking about the homoerotic overtones, that is as it may be and wasn't a big deal for the culture and history being depicted. But I strongly object to the depiction of the greatest general in world history as weepy and simpering, on the one hand, and an unlikely action hero the next moment. This is a person who conquered most of the known world, is he really to be depicted as the tearful loner in this film, or someone who would ride out alone to confront hundreds of enemy warriors (elephants and all). And Jolie's performance - words fail me, if only they had failed the writers of her role.There are some great pseudo-historical action movies; Braveheart, Gladiator, Ben Hur. Go and watch one of them again, and give a miss to this sad waste of three hours.
