I was honestly a bit disappointed, as the story was told and constructed. In the second half of a the many flashbacks are almost too much, there is a fear of losing the relationship. It is then but already. Colin Farell has not really convinced myself in the role, although I otherwise like to see him as an actor. He was the myth Alexander simply not fair, but it is the question of who can do this. He beamed too little personality, too little charisma, as that one could imagine that he can cheer on his men to such an incredible victories. Perhaps it was with the fact that it has been shown in personal relationships as very emotional. Personally, I could not open up to me this creature really, at this time, in this childhood, this father and his fighting spirit shown on the battlefield. Nevertheless, the images are impressive and of course you learn a lot about this brilliant and at the same time failed to itself personality. There are for me no real 4 star but 3 are also not fair in my opinion the performance. Therefore I have given 4.
