I saw the movie about 4 times. It was very emotional, and not so intellectual as some can be. The emotional expressions added a lot to the story of Alexander who became very real and very human in this historical drama-action-adventure film. Not very many 25 year olds have conquered the known world. It is a movie very worth viewing. The Director's Cut coming out along with the theatrical version on August 2, 2005 will be classics.
