I saw Colin Farrell on one of the late night shows. He brought his promo clip from "Alexander", what looked like a pre-battle scene trying to evoke "St. Crispin's Day". Alexander was galloping back and forth before the troops, exhorting them to fight for...something.
To me, it was just a bald-faced copy of Mel Gibson's famous scene in Braveheart. That one clip led me to think Alexander would just be a big rip-off of other great movies. Now that I know about its agenda, I'm even less inclined to see it.
It was a direct ripoff from "Braveheart" - and it was a pale imitation.
