What Parents Need to Know
About Alexander
Parents need to know that this movie has extreme and explicit battle violence with many impalings and other graphic injuries. Alexander is portrayed as bi-sexual. There are very explicit heterosexual sexual situations and references and male and female nudity, plus references and implications of gay sex and some same-sex kissing and a mother-son kiss on the mouth and an attempted rape. Some exotic dancers perform in skimpy attire. Characters drink, sometimes to excess.

It's ok
the movie wasn't all that bad all though the story line was mixed up and it focused to much about him being gay it wasn't great but worth watching

What a terrible movie
My family watched the edited version (www.flicksclub.com), but I do, however, know what was in the movie, and that it was totally inappropriate. The editors obiously had a hard time making it clean, and failed to get ALL of the suggestive scenes out (see the common sense info.) Also, the story was just plain stupid. The plot didn't know where is were headed, and therefore never really went anywhere. On top of that, the movie can be divided into two parts: the battles, and the endless monologues. Nothing else. There was no redeeming qualities, either, and no comic relief. It was incredibly dark. Not a good movie.

Not worth a penny!
This movie grossed me out. Too much sexual situations that are not Christian based. I wish I could get a refund for my money and my time!

Even gay people thought this was a bomb.
The movie portrays in a light how difficult it was to be gay and have to take on a wife in order to carry on the royal family. It's always been done this way. However, beyond that, the acting is bad, the storyline is muck and I'll say for one that they paid more attention to the romance and the lust Alexander has for his love interests than for the actual meat of his character. It's hard to pay attention to what he actually did when the movie keeps reverting you back to his sexuality and love interests. I realize that it is important when you're doing a movie that you need to include all portions of the character because to do so simply to satisfy the droves of religious ideologs is irresponsible self censorship and an extreme injustice to the name of the person being represented. At the same time, you must not focus all attention on one issue. You either portray Alexander as a great leader who happened to be gay and was forced to marry a woman or you portray Alexander as a gay man who happened to be a good leader. One or the other.
This isn't a movie intended for children or young teens to watch. It wasn't created for them, hence, not for then to watch. Older teens who know about sex and understand homosexuality shouldn't have a problem with this movie.
