Oliver Stone's Another Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2004)

I had the opportunity of watching the film this weekend on one of the major movie houses here in Manila, and I was happy to know that it was on SRO (Standing Room Only) and did good in the box office. I just observed that Filipinos have come to understand and have become mature in dealing plots that are controversial and have become more intelligent in the type of movies they watch.
This film has again proved that Oliver Stone is one of the top-caliber directors in Hollywood, therefore proving 'Fortune favours the bold'. I loved the film and I intend to purchase a copy soon and add it to my collection including 'Heaven and Earth' and 'Platoon'.
Colin Farrell did good in this movie and has exceeded our expectations for his portrayal as Alexander. His acting is worthy of winning an Oscar. Not to forget the rest of the cast, Angelina Jolie, Jared Leto, Rosario Dawson and Val Kilmer.
Its just sad to know that bad publicities and overrated criticisms are causing some moviegoers not to watch the film.
