Rating: 3/10 (28 November 2004)

Oliver Stone's Cinematographer was a busy person for this film. Wonderful scenic shots of a world I personally would have loved living in (wonderful era). The dramatic red colors used for Alexanders' falling were rich and raw. Alexander's war material "very interesting" gruesome but tolerable. Aha, I knew it would be sooner or later that the film would pin point Alexander's bisexuality! A nice modern twist on his life and loves !!!! It was a bit frustrating to view Alexanders' tale being brought out by Anthony Hopkin's character in segments (before/after/future). It would have shorten the films length if it was excluded altogether. Too bad Hopkin's character (Old Ptolemy) wasn't given the opportunity to act with Farrell or with Kilmer.
