    Default Alexander realism....

    Hi guys I was just looking at the battle scene of Alexander and the armours etc , I found them very well described and reproduced , I am not a great expert of Macedonian stuff but looks like a great improvement in a holliwood movie .....

    Equipment wise alexander was very good. THere are some issues, and you can debate how colouful you want your Macedonians, but in the absence of other photographic guides of decent reconstructed kit - there aren't nearly so many Macedonians reenactors as Roman after all - still from alexander ad a bad guide at all.

    Plus it hasthe best ancient battle seen ever

    Yeah, I loved the movie, it was much better than any Hollywood 'ancient' production recently. That's what you get when you have a real director behind the camera :) And it made want to fight those phalanx vs elephants battles again :)
    I'm still not here

    That movie was a terrible, ahistorical, shameful mess.

    Well, it looks like half the people hate it, and half the people love it.
    I don't have much knowledge about Alexander's army/era, but I liked the movie.

    PS: Yeah, yeah, who cares about my opinion anyway
