If you are thinking about watching this movie ....

Rating: 1/10 (4 December 2004)

**NO SPOILERS**
Me and my brother seriously thought that this movie MIGHT be worth while. We sat down for this movie having no idea that Mr. Oliver Stone had such evil in store for us. This movie seriously should have been called "Alexander: Didn't You Know He Was Gay?." I have never seen a movie have so many references to homosexuality in my entire life. Right there, you should know that bringing kids under the age of, oh lets say, 40 should not see this atrocious blunder of money, time and marketing effort. Maybe I'm not artsy, maybe I don't understand what I am missing but seriously Oliver Stone almost makes you wonder about his personal life.
If this hasn't stopped you from seeing this movie, read the following:
Step 1.) Stand Up from the Computer Screen
Step 2.) Raise right hand to sky
Step 3.) Send right hand thrusting downward to right cheek
Step 4.) Repeat until nigh on unconscious and bloodied
There, now you know what watching this movie is like.
Acting was par to sub-par throughout, historically speaking - almost completely inaccurate, and I seriously can't believe that Sir Anthony Hopkins even gave this movie the time of day to be the narrator after reading the script: assuming he read the script. Shame on those FOUR overpaid editors (Yann Hervé, Gladys Joujou, Alex Marquez, Thomas J. Nordberg) who made the first 2 hours seem more eclectic than quotes from a drug-frenzied Peter Griffin during an ether binge. Government monkeys from the movie Project X could have done a better job making this movie.
Bottom Line: On a Scale of 1 to 10, this movie gets a '1.0,' because the last 30 minutes almost make you believe Stone was trying to direct.
