I remember seeing this in 2004 with my then girlfriend. I remember how hard we laughed at the scene where Alexander rears up on the back of an elephant. I also remember that there were only two other people in the theater watching besides us. It was neither a great film nor a terrible film, just not one I would ever go to the trouble to watch again….
Happy 15th Anniversary! Knowing that InterMedia rushed out the entire thing (minus post-prod) in order to fend off Baz Luhrman’s project (against Stone’s wishes), I feel that the movie would’ve been better had they slow down the process or made a deal with HBO or Showtime to make it as a mini-series.
Alex never rode an elephant in the movie, when confronting an elephant he was on his black horse
He never does that in the movie. Either you never saw it, barely remember it or you’re thinking of something else.

We saw this at the dollar theater. It wasn’t worth it. The worst part was when the whole film turned red, for no apparent reason.
