Couldn't wait...

Rating: 1/10 (1 December 2004)

I just couldn't wait for someone to kill Alexander and put the audience out of it's misery! I have to question my sanity for actually choosing to see an Oliver Stone disaster. This film was painful to watch from beginning to end. The cinematography, editing, scripting, acting, everything screamed run to the box office and get a refund. The only thing that kept me from doing that was that I didn't want to feel the need to rent it some other time in case I missed something worthwhile. What a mistake. While I would consider this a tie with The Day After Tomorrow for worst movie of the year, Alexander had a larger budget and stellar cast that helped make it the biggest bomb of the year. I imagine Anthony Hopkins and Christopher Plummer are relieved that they had such heavy makeup on and can hope they weren't recognized.
