Alexander (Film Review)

Another film now streaming which I didn't see in the cinema, this one due to a combination of factors: a) while I have several friends who feel passionately about Alexander the Great, I never did, and b) the reviews were terrible. Sometimes bad reviews make me feel mulishly determined to watch anyway, but i need some investment about the subject in that case, and it wasn't there. However, in the many years since then, I at least warmed up to some of the Alexander contemporaries, due to various interesting fictions (mostly "Stealing Fire" by Jo Graham), and even to the man himself in one particular version (Roz Kaveney in her ongoing epic series did a great, no pun intended, Alexander, not least because he's possessing someone very different, and the two have to come to some arrangement, which suddenly made Alex himself interesting to me).
