Alexander the not so great

Rating: 1/10 (5 August 2005)

Rather than go into a summary of this picture (since many have before this writing), I am going to sum this up quickly: Pitiful. Nothing is redeemable about this movie. I am not sure what the supporters are watching to like this even a bit. The acting is terrible. Angelina Jolie is a joke, Anthony Hopkins becomes annoying, Colin Farrell just makes you shake your head, and Val Kilmer is laughable. The directing is ridiculous. But bad directing is a staple of Oliver Stone (and before everyone gets mad---Platoon---one movie does not make a great director). This movie is so bad that the stink would knock a buzzard off a trash heap.
