Alexander (2004)

The Accents In The Film Are NOT The Problem

What do you expect the actors to speak? In the Greek tongue with real ancient Greek accents? There are many films of this nature that are filmed in English, no matter the accent. Be it American, British, Welsh, Irish we all speak English with different accents. I cannot understand all the complaints about the accents then rating the film low over it. Clash of the Titans, Antony and Cleopatra, Gladiator, etc... all speak in an English accent and language. To bash this film (Alexander) over accents makes no sense what so ever. So the accent and language complaints of this film are completely invalid.

The idea is to tell us an entertaining story in movie form and the film makers did that quite well with Alexander. I like this film. I realize it might not be 100% accurate but none of the films of this nature are because none of us were there to really know exactly what was said, who said it, what they did and and didn't really do.


Overall I found the film quite entertaining, it gave me an idea of what it might have been like during this time period and how it might have been with Alexander the Great.

7.5/10
