[Strategerist]

It sort of failed in showing his charismatic bond with his troops, and I think it should have had an additional battle (Chaeryonea (sp?)), Granicus, or Isssus. I mean, they TRIED (the scenes where Alexander is picking out individual soldiers in the Phalanx and remembering their names, talking about their families or previous heroism) but it was too jarring a contrast with his whining and crying otherwise.

I remember the bond with his troops scenes more than I do the whiny ones, but I agree about the battles. I would have preferred that the ones they showed were shorter. Then they could have added at least one more. I would also have liked more details on the battle plans for that first battle since I understand that his strategy was brilliant. There was one scene of planning, but it was so fast that I found it hard to follow. I liked this better than other OS movies.
