Title: So Very, Very Bad
Review: Most people aren't going into a sword and sandal flick, even a pretentious one, expecting them to get the history right so the fact that this is a frustrating mix of getting things really wrong and doing a good job of dramatizing other things isn't important. The real issue is that this is a jumbled up mess of a movie. The story jumps back and forth in time with little context for what is happening. It has a large cast of characters with names that are unfamiliar to American ears and does little to make many of the supporting characters stand out as individuals so it's often confusing as to who is doing what and why. Stone spends most of the movie minimizing Alexander's relationship with Hephaestian as much as possible but then has to quickly set things up so that Alexander's grief makes some sort of sense. Even at three hours it feels like there was a lot of material cut out that would have made this thing into a coherent film.
