This should not be considered film.

Rating: 1/10 (11 August 2005)

Aside from the Macedonian's with Irish accents and a plot that...well there is no plot to speak of, this has to be the most horrid film I have seen in recent years. This "film", and I use the term loosely, is of course the reason why Oliver Stone should NOT direct, act, produce or otherwise be involved with film making. There is no structure to the production other than a series of battles strung together with little or no story to imply (and by the way you might not see this interpretation if you don't know the history of Alexander the Great) that while he was a great general he was also obsessive compulsive and perhaps a bit insane. Then of course you can't forget that Oliver Stone still thinks it's the 60's and that the psychedelic red hue to the musically enshrined scene should encapsulate the art form and depict the bloodiness of the battle. Yeah...right. I am not sure I should go a step further to say that if you are going to depict the true nature of relationships from that period DO IT!!! Don't dance around the subject because you are afraid of public reaction and by all means get actors that aren't terrified their machismo will be affected by what it represents. Kudos that from a distance (and with an unknown) he could do it but close up and to simply say I love you....oops over the shoulder and not in the eye. Pathetic. My recommendation for this film. Don't Bother, Don't Worry Your Not Missing a Thing, Don't You Dare
