Great film!!! May be Oliver's 2nd best!!!

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2004)

Just came back from seeing Alexander and after reading so many mixed reviews about it, I was concerned that I might be disappointed.
I was so throughly impressed with it!! The cinematography was extraordinary!! I was really impressed with Angelina Jolie, Val Kilmer, Jared Leto & Colin Farrell's performances.
As is typical anytime Oliver Stone releases a movie, many people harshly slam his movies, because they don't like him or his style of telling a story. Often, the things they talk about don't even appear in the movie, so I think many reviewers judge based on what they've heard or they think it will be like, not what the movie is really about.
I laughed out loud at one of the user reviews that complained about Jolie's age compared to Farrell's(obviously that reviewer believes that there is no such thing as actor portraying a different age then they really are. I guess this person had better not ever go to see a play or movie ever again.
Same person complained about the accents. Uh, you're upset that they are speaking English. Are you kidding me??? How many thousands of historical pieces do the exact same thing. It's for the audience's benefit, not historical accuracy.
All in all, I'd say be leary of some of the reviews you read. Some people just don't like Oliver, not matter what he does!!
See this movie & judge for yourself!!!!!
