Crappy movie, again by Oliver Stone

Rating: 3/10 (8 January 2005)

For anyone who wants to see this movie, I strongly advice against it. Acting, for one, is quite poor, for example casting Val Kilmer as Philippus, the fierce and cruel father of Alexander - it just doesn't work. Colin Farell plays a big cry-baby - nearly half of the film he's sobbing over all kinds off stuff. Also, content is quite bad; don't expect a great story, because, historically there isn't one, and the movie is in that respect well conform to reality. But the worst is the soundtrack. Vangelis at he's best; pompous and over emotional stuff. So go see a good movie - or if you want to have a laugh at another attempt of Oliver Stone to go into film history as someone who made a good movie, be my guest.
