Subduing the Persians with Vangelis synthesizers.

Rating: Null/10 (23 November 2004)

What's with the synthesizers? They never stopped. "Alexander charging into battle" Vangelis synthesizers. "Alexander triumphant" Vangelis synthesizers. "Tragedy befalls Alexander" Vangelis synthesizers. "Alexander angry" Vangelis synthesizers.
I saw the movie at a free screening last night and two hours into the movie, some people started leaving.
Anthony Hopkins' part could have been completed deleted from the movie. The close ups are scary. Does Oliver Stone really have to stick the camera in people's faces so close? You could count all the hairs in Anthony Hopkins' face. Scary, very scary.
Did I mention the synthesizers?
