One of the worst movies ever

Rating: 1/10 (2 December 2004)

This movie, along with Any Given Sunday, proves that Oliver Stone is an awful director. He has, quite possibly, been responsible for the two worst movies ever. Alexander moves slowly, but is incapable of drawing its audience to care about the characters (character developmnet being an appropriate use of a slow pace). The latent homosexuality is not a problem, but the director isn't sure what kind of message he is trying to send about it. There is also a striking like of "flow" to the movie. I understand that its supposed to be based on a series of historical events, but the director makes them look almost completely unrelated. Also, Colin Farell is not an action hero. You almost want to laugh, rather than be inspired, as he tries to pump up his army before battle.
