Who thought this piece of garbage was worthy of release?

Rating: Null/10 (1 December 2004)

Seriously, what a waste of great actors, sets, and money. I thought about walking out more than once, but my lack of historical knowledge of Alexander the Great held my curiosity long enough to see what was going to happen to him. Oliver Stone? What were you thinking? This had to be a case of nobody having the balls to tell the emperor he was naked. My opinion is not based and has nothing to do with the homosexual "undertones"(they weren't quite on the low low) great, he liked guys who wore massive amounts of mascara, how about you show a couple more longing looks between Alexander, and his one true love. This movie had no steady direction, or flow, much like Alexander and his quest, it all ended up in a giant mess. The sets were beautiful, the battles looked good, but were hard to follow. This was one of those movies that made me so angry, because they blew it. Why can't there be critics that work for directors, not like Ebert and Roeper do, but offer up the hard advice a lot of movies need? Oliver Stone if you actually thought this piece of garbage would move anyone in a good way, you must live in a different world from most people. Also all of you geniuses who liked this movie, and defend the constant reminders of Alexander's homosexuality, need to understand that it's not the idea of him loving another man that was wrong, it was the film's obsession with it that was wrong. Stone must have had a Macedonian enemy, is my guess. You know he really wanted to stick it to the Balkans or something. "Look your greatest hero would rather hook up with drag queens than a really hot chick! Ha!Ha!" Please people don't waste your money. Don't encourage Hollywood to make this kind of crap.
