Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of anyone interested in what war does to people and lovers of period drama. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. A good follow-up to True Grit or The Guns of Navarone. The costumes and settings are a feast on their own.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1968: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

An historical film that follows the life of Alexander the Great, the Macedonian king that united all ancient Greek tribes and led them against the vast Persian Empire. Alexander conquered most of the then-known world and created a Greek empire that spanned all the way from the Balkans to India.
