Very disappointing for Oliver Stone

Rating: 5/10 (25 July 2005)

The story of Alexander the Great's(Colin Farrell) journey across the east, conquering everything in his path. The movie also stars Angelina Jolie, Val Kilmer, Anthony Hopkins, and Rosario Dawson.
Although the All-Star cast, the epic story, and the great director, the movie was not any better than average. It could not compare to any similar great historical stories such as Gladiator or Braveheart. The movie was meant to be biographical but focused way too much on the theory that he was homosexuality. It explained very little on his conquests but did a very good job on his childhood(Although Val Kilmer played Colin Farrell's dad). Overall, the movie was very disappointing to me, considering Olvier Stone is a personal favorite and the story of Alexander the Great is also a favorite of mine.
I do not recommend this movie.
