Bronze Age battles were a total mess though. What do you mean you ride your chariot near the battle, dismount and fight on foot? What do you mean the chariot arm is 60% of the army’s budget?
Alexander was probably the most accurate hollywood movie in that regard.
From what I gather, real life pitched battles in ancient times were kinda anti climactic. Supposedly it mostly involved lots of shoving and occasional thrusts through a gap. The goal being to break the enemy formation cause them to route. Its believed that most of the killing in a given battle took place during the retreat or encirclement. And such battles could last for a very long time, like for hours. So it kinda makes sense why Hollywood wouldnt go this route
