Bad, bad Mr. Oliver Stone!

Rating: 1/10 (25 November 2004)

Shame Mr. Oliver Stone. Shame. This was a horrible, horrible movie. Despite desperately trying to keep to history as well as maintain some entertainment value, the serious homoerotic overtones and the first battle scenes are the only redeeming factors in the entire movie. That, and Colin Farrell's pretty, pretty face - which cried entirely too much! He didn't need to find the ocean to take him home, the amount he cried alone...anyways. The homosexual plot lines were entertaining (there are two), although when he kissed his mother and the Persian boy I believe the entire audience spontaneously freaked out. The one kiss actually MISSING from the movie was him kissing his friend Hephaistion, but I shall leave that for another time. Altogether, bad acting, bad directing, bad plot lines, but camel warfare. Make up your own mind.
