Been on a historical epic kick over the last few months.
Alexander (Ultimate/4th Cut) - 5/10
Alexander (Theatrical Cut) - 7/10
Watched this for the first time, starting with the most recent Ultimate cut, then the theatrical to compare. No idea why the later cuts are so favored; the theatrical is a much tighter movie. Chronology is easier to follow, which better sells the theme of Alexander losing himself the further he gets from home. 7 instead of a 6 because I simply love these kinds of films. Even at their clumsiest, they're still comfy.
Kingdom of Heaven (Director's Cut) - 8/10
My second time watching this and I enjoyed it even more. Haven't seen the theatrical version, but I can't imagine this without the story of Sibylla's son. While I still think Bloom is miscast, he works well enough and plays into the everyman vibe they were going for.
Troy (Theatrical Cut) - 8/10
Must have been my 20th viewing, but still a pleasure. I watched the director's cut about ten years ago and remember it being overlong with less interesting musical choices, so the theatrical is my go-to.
