A 3 hour disaster!!

Rating: Null/10 (26 November 2004)

Okay, where to start, first Alexander and many of the lead characters have Irish accents, Angelina Jolie talks like Countess Dracula, Val Kilmar is a lethargic King Phillip, Colin's hair is tinted in blonde but is clearly black, the battles scenes are confusing, sometimes the camera shakes as though the person filming was on horseback. I mean the camera shakes so bad that it's almost impossible to make sense of out the individual scenes. The dialogue between characters is like watching an Ed Wood movie. (Sorry Ed Wood) Angelina Jolie always has a snake or snakes around her. I kept watching this 3 hour mess and wishing I was home watching the Richard Burton version of Alexander the Great. The Film leaves out his trip to the Oracle at Siwa, his battles at Grannicus and Issuss. The film also leaves out that Alexander believed himself to be a God, the son of Zeus-Ammon. Oliver Stone's Alexander is a whining, shallow, bi-sexual, who gets his butt beat up by Roxanne. This is probably the worst movie I've ever seen. Grade F.
