I didn't nitpick on every little thing, I reduced myself even to only "nitpick" on the biggest flaw. "Nit"picking I could add for example that they used crossbows in this movie, which alone turns me totally off.

I want a movie to be historically feasable. I don't care if every rivet is correct, but please no such things as Lorica Segmentata in Punic Wars etc., let alone crossbows.

When the Saxon leader states, "we do not mingle with inferior races, only a degenerated people could be the outcome" I feel really offended. Not only would it flat out contradict the Germanic concept of tribesmanship, which didn't knew the concept of "race". It's just a cheap bone thrown to the crowd, like "oh look, those Germans are all racists, I didn't knew they were even back then, but now it's finally prooven, thank God and this very good historically accurate movie!"

And then finally King Arthur and the Sarmatians as fighters for freedom and democracy and the whole British (that means American) nation. Really I just can't eat that much that I'd like to vomit. Talk about transporting modern day issues into another era. Yeah that's what Hollywood likes best, taking an ancient issue and make "America brings freedom and democracy to the retarded barbarians" out of it.

Oops, I don't want to discuss policy here, it's just about a movie.

P.S.: I like Alexander, though it's surely not perfect. Gladiator I can watch, yes, although it's on the verge with the whole "bring Rome back to the people"-shit.
