WHAT'S IT ABOUT? Re-cut, slightly condensed telling of Alexander the Great and his conquering of the Ancient world.

ANY GOOD: Extravagant epic sword 'n' sandals drama, shot in Oliver Stone's typically overblown style. Still long but far better than reading your crumbling, old school text books.

BEST BITS: The realistic battle scenes, which are even more violent than the snakepit at a Slayer gig, and we lost a fingernail in one of those!

EXTRAS: Just a paltry director commentary.

FREEBIES: We've got 5 of these brilliant DVDs to give away. Just email your details to webmaster.maxim@dennis.co.uk and we'll enter you into the draw. Closing date: 10th August 2005.
