It is an extremely tedious and plot-lost historical ‘blockbuster’. Any rising action subsides almost immediately. Stone and his script editors, whoever/wherever they may have been, drop unnecessary Ancient Greek names more readily than those insipid, cloying Hollywood movie reviewers on your local TV station. And we are supposed to sit thru this entire film - really?? Finally, it’s no wonder this DVD ends up in the $1 discount bin at the big box stores…
