written and directed to spend money, see the extra long version

Rating: Null/10 (13 December 2004)

oliver stone's movie reminds me of a junior high student paging through a history book, trying to figure out how to turn a lot of information into an essay report.
so much information had to be communicated, causing long speeches to be written for every character. why don't the pictures tell the story, like Platoon?
and why does every actor get a separate clip to see who can do the loudest scream in horror? how many times do you have to repeat the same act to get a message across?
can anyone tell me what Alexander wanted, or was he just confused by
wanting everything? the film never made up its mind.
seems like a waste of money where 10 other films could have been made.
