Very bad movie!

Rating: 1/10 (28 December 2004)

I went to see Alexander with two of my friends. I was a little excited to see it because first of all it is an Oliver Stone film and secondly I thought that movie had a good ensemble cast. Half-way through the movie I wanted to get up and walk out. I didn't care if it had homosexuality in the film. Honestly, I felt sorry for Alexander that he couldn't be with the person that he loved. I was just bored to death. The story of Alexander is just too great that it really should have been a series or something not a boring three hour movie. The scene when he almost died was ridiculous. The coloring of the scene was overdone. Was it supposed to be an art piece or what. It was really just too over the top. The other thing that I didn't understand about this film was what everyone's accents were supposed to be. I mean Val Kilmer had more or less an American accent, Angelina Jolie had I don't know what kind of accent and Colin Ferrel had an Irish accent. At least keep the language true to the time period. The only good thing about this movie is that there is a brief glimpse of a naked Colin Ferrel. All in all I give this movie a 1 out of 10. I will never see this movie ever again.
