Movie Reviews of The True Story of Alexander the Great (History Channel)
Movie Review: Actually Mistitled
Summary: 2 Stars
Gee, a documentary that solves a question that has been studied for 2300 years. If you go by the title, and what the host says, then the History Channel has done a great service.
Of course, they didn't do any of this. They did cover some interesting territory, and yet they left out so much (sack of Thebes, anyone?).
Also, while the actor that portrayed Alexander was youthful and very good looking, I think he was more the Hephaistion type.
All-in-all, I was disappointed. It's not as bad as the National Geographic documentary, but it's not much better.
