Stone should have read commentaries instead of fiction.

Rating: 1/10 (4 December 2004)

A big disappointment. I was hoping to see the genius that was Alexander, instead focus was on the man's idiosyncrasies. No balance. And whats with the accents? Thought I was watching "Braveheart" or "Rob Roy", both much better films. I winced when I heard one of the characters say "c'mon LADS". Jolie wasn't bad but her accent didn't fit the period either. As you watched you were never able to feel the length of time the army was in the field. Seemed more like 7 months instead of 7 years. Battle scenes were fairly good but the computer enhancement was very noticeable. One did get the feel of the hand to hand chaos. Actors did their best with a bad script. Alexander was a real person, this film treated him as more a myth.
