I think Alexander was a bit of a flake (I mean, who gives a whole country away when they're a bit upset?) but he clearly had the conviction to lead an army to victory countless times. Farrell didn't pull that off at all. One of my least favourite things about the script was the importance placed on Olympias. She's worthy of a few footnotes. If that.

The Romans are like a really violent soap. They're brillaint. They're culture doesn't inspire me or fascinate me in the same way that of the Greeks does, but they're lots of fun to read about.

I love the way he kept feeding Shakespeare lines! ♥

BTW, can I friend you? I've been longing to have someone who appreciates the Romans on my friends list. And the Doctor! :D
