Oliver Stone, you're fired

Rating: 1/10 (29 November 2004)

Okay first off, what the hell Mr. Stone, come on now?
I haven't seen many of Oliver Stones movies, but the one's I've seen are awesome. I remember leaving the movie theatre like WOW!!! I felt like I been somewhere and threw something. But this, was, corny, fake, terrible, bad, horrible, all blended together with a bad script and a bad movie score.
If a director wants a narrator then have one, Anthony Hopkins part was completely unnecessary. I also think it was miss casted. Why is Alexander's mom like only eleven month's older then him. And I didn't even like the fight scenes, they took too long, and the repeating shot of the eagle. And why was Alexander always lecturing, his long and boring speeches kept coming, and they were about the same friggin' thing.
Also if the writer wants to hint bi-sexuality, then do it, but don't give these boring scenes between two men saying how happy they are to be with each other and then embrace. Have one scene where Alexander's just kissing a guy and that's it.
Music bad, didn't match the battle scenes at all, I'd rather hear a wanna be Gladiator theme then some off tune orchestra. Mr. Stone, you're a good guy, but for this movie you're fired!!!
