A Complete Mess

Rating: 2/10 (6 December 2005)

I could not wait to see Alexander, even with all its bad reviews. Unfortunitely it lives up to these reviews rather well. Oliver Stone maybe my favorite director, he at least was before Alexander. Watching some of my favorite actors such as Anthony Hopkins make fools of themselves didn't really feel good as well. Oliver Stones direction is more awful than imaginable, one of the worst jobs of direction ever, by one of the best directors. The screenplay is awful as well, the dialogue wooden, and everything else simply confusing. The visual effects are sometimes great, but usually they look so fake. The costumes are the only truly great thing in this picture. Do not watch if you value your sanity!!!!! If you like Alexander you might also like the much better, actually watchable Troy.
