During the closing moments of the movie, while Ptolemy went on and on with his winded speech, my mind wondered off and I came up with an ammusing idea.
Now picture if you will, the slave boy that was holding the ink for the scribe, during Ptolemy's speech. We take that kid and create a whole movie around him. Well not him, so much but his wacky brother played by Chris Farley!! One day, said ink holder gets sick and in order to keep his family from getting in trouble, Chris Farley throws on his brothers tiny loincloth and little gold arm band and rushes off to work at the Library of Alexandria where comedy is sure to ensue. He could spill ink all over some important papyrus scrolls, or fall through some of those day bed/couches, maybe knock some stuff over and set fire to the great Library of Alexandria. The posiblities are endless, and all too humorous. Too bad Farley has passed along, and now my movie idea has no chance of getting made.

Now on to my review of the movie. It was a yawn.
There were some cool battles, but they were few and far between. The rest was boring, boring, boring, yapping about old greek heros, bitchy mothers, and gay love triangles.

Angelina Jolie played the Heather Locklear of Macedonia, meaning that she was a total bitch. It also didn't help her cause that she would not stop caressing snakes in her scenes, and no that's not a euphemism, she seriously had too many creepy snakes all over the place, I was grossed out.
There were other people in the movie and the all had roles in it, but I've lost all interest in discussing any of them, so this review is over.
