I hated the film. I've studied Plutarch and Arrian and I had difficulty not thinking about all the historical inaccuracies of the film. But I could have put those aside, had the film actually been well made. However, I thought it was a complete mess, with bad characterisations and no sense of dramatic build-up. The actors didn't help, but I don't think anything would have salvaged that script.
Ahem. I'll stop being an angry Classical Civ student now.
:D I'm glad the Doctor loves a sordid history spiel as much as me!
