Oliver Stone ruins what could have been a fabulous movie

Rating: 3/10 (5 March 2006)

This may be one of the most boring movies I've ever had to sit through. OK, I knew it was directed by Oliver Stone and so the history would be spurious at best and the direction ho hum, but it's a great cast! I knew the reviews were bad -- but it's a great cast! How bad could it be I thought, after all -- it's a great cast! Amazingly Stone has managed to take one of the most interesting historical characters around, combine it with a fabulous cast and turn out an absolute yawn of a movie. It isn't even bad enough to qualify as being greatly bad. It's just...incredibly, mind bogglingly boring. There's no bad acting, just flat acting. I didn't mind the jumping around in time, but it added no interest. There is nothing here that is remotely worth anyone's time.
