terrible movie

Rating: Null/10 (25 November 2004)

I thought this movie was absolutely terrible. From a historical perspective the movie was very inaccurate and undermined everything Alexander the Great ever did. The story centered too much on Alexander's homosexuality which in the movie seemed to define everything Alexander the Great was about, of course in reality this was not the case. While it was rumored that Alexander had homosexual tendencies, there was more to the man than that, Oliver Stone seemed to have forgotten he was a conqueror and ruler. Everything in the movie was way over-dramatized; the only good thing in the movie was Val Kilmer's acting which was superb, and while I'm not a fan of Angelina Jolie, her character and Kilmer's were the only realistically portrayed in the whole movie. Bottom line: don't waste your time or money on this movie.
