A Spoiler? Who knows? Dumb movie, dumber director...

Rating: 1/10 (15 August 2005)

Alexander "Director's Cut" is quite possibly the worst movie I've ever forced myself to watch. Oliver Stone is living proof that there is a very fine line between genius and madness. He has crossed that line and proves once again that he is no Cecil B. DeMille. His lack of focus is evident throughout. His inability to provide any semblance of continuity is the lowest form of trickery, in an attempt to disguise his shortcomings as a professional. More disgusting is how he abuses history in all his "works" to present his prejudices, his sexual orientations, his perversions and total disregard for the truth. Despite the over abundance of muddled camera angles, action scenes that do not allow one to distinguish who is "gutting" whom, extensive use of computer graphics,etc, the director was unable to put together anything more than non-sensual sequences with flashbacks that distracted from rather weird dialogue and unrealistic interactions between the characters. I must admit that his casting director did a fine job of casting Jolie as a weirdo, Farrell as a less than a ladies man and Kilmer as a one eyed jerk. (Who did the makeup on Kilmer? The makeup was better in the original "Hunchback of Notre Dame" which was made in the 40's (or earlier)... Alexander "Directors Cut" was so bad that I've made myself a promise.. If Oliver Stone's name appears anywhere near a movie I think I want to see, I will fore go that opportunity. No doubt the movie will make millions as people seem to have forgotten what a good movie is suppose to be. Hollywood is no longer in the hands of artists.
