Good movie done in bad taste

Rating: 4/10 (23 October 2005)

This movie was mixture of good and bad. The good was pretty good portrayal of Alexander by Colin Farrel. Bad was that this movie had no class. Maybe the character of producers and a director shows. The DVD is a two disc set and both discs have movie in it, so it's a long movie. There's also a bonus material about the making of this movie. What kind of appalled me was cussing director Oliver Stone doing throughout the entire sequence. The girl who appeared in X2 was collecting $5 from every person who used foul language on the set. She would have made a fortune if she was in this movie.
Cinematography wasn't so good, set was over done with weired color scheme that conflicted with cloths actors were wearing, and the movie lacked the polished feel. It was almost like a rough cut.
The movie did tell the story of Alexander although it may be Oliver Stone's version, but after seeing it there was no satisfaction. Colin Farrel's acting was good, and that was the only saving grace for this movie.
