how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 31 comments (27 from Metacritic, 4 from TMDB reviews) — 11 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 11 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“His talks with young Alexander, especially in the cave were some of the best father talks of heritage and legacy in cinema.”

“The Battle of Gaugamela in particular is possibly the best reconstruction of an ancient battle”

“We do not know the cause of his death, so the movie doesn't make it clear either and just leaves the viewer guessing, just as historians are guessing.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Vast, riveting, madly audacious movie biography.”
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune · 88
“It's boldly acted, absorbing and satisfying as a history lesson and chock-full of extravagantly brutal battle sequences.”
William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer · 83
“Unwieldy and flawed, but Stone remains a tornado in an era of airless formula and -- to paraphrase our Ptolemy -- its failings are greater than most films’ successes.”
Ian Nathan, Empire · 80
“As one of the few movies around not pushing state-of-the-art animation or Jude Law, Alexander is a damn good date movie.”
Ken Tucker, New York Magazine (Vulture) · 70
“Makes for a long, lumpy trip with a charismatic guide and some brilliant detours.”
Richard Corliss, Time · 70

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“My wife picked this one up together with the weekly TV magazine. Luckily we didn't pay full price. I hoped for a film about one of the greatest warlord of all time but what I got was something about a crying homosexual wimp.”

“_**Alexander’s conquests from Greece through Persia into northwestern India**_ After being tutored by Aristotle (Christopher Plumber), Alexander (Colin Farrell) takes over the Macedonian throne in 336 BC at the age of 20 after his father is assassinated (Val Kilmer). Over the next 13 years he, amazingly, conquers the Persian Empire and heads into India before finally turning back. Anthony Hopkins narrates as Ptolemy in his old age while Angelina Jolie plays Alexander’s snake-loving mother. Ro”

“Opinion on this film seems to have been hijacked somewhat by the definition and appropriateness of the relationship between Alexander (Farrell) and Hephaestion (Leto). It seems daft to try to apply 21st century social morals onto a society in which same sex relationships were simply unremarkable. Whether or not it was about sex, or love, or both isn't really that important - I think Oliver Stone was trying to involve us in a much more complex story of human nature. It may also be more of an Angl”
