Greetings my lady...
(BTW - I JUST enter the forum since my last visit! I couldn't have any access! Serious problems in the forum's structure solved?)
Yes, indeed. When Hollywood "taking care" a film, look what happens!
What should Italians cry-out, about that... "historic" film, "Gladiator"? (Of course, I have great fan of it! I like it as a "sword-fighting film", but as a historic one? No... The opening battle-sceen, was one of the most impressive I've ever seen, though.)
Yes, I couldn't agree more, about your objection of Clooney as King Leonidas. He doesn't "fit" well in the role, I think. A... younger Son Connery would; even with the... "Highland" accent!
... As I've read in many books about King Leonidas, he was probably 50-60 years old in Thermopylae's Battle! So... a "tiny" younger Son, could "pass"...
About the "Alexander" extension DVD version, I'm sorry my lady... This doesn't exist or will be! I've order a "Special Extented Edition" of a triple DVD from foreign country (was it US or UK, I can't recall well), I've got it, I've play it... and MORE "love chitchat" between Alexander & Hephestion!
Not SERIOUS extra battle-sceens, unfortunatelly...
I think, even the "ancient" and quite "poor production"... "The 300 Spartans" (1962, directed by Rudolph Mate) was better than many new epic films. Not mention "Spartacus"...
Regards my lady.
