This Film is NOT GREAT!!!

Rating: 2/10 (12 September 2009)

Possibly one of the worst films I have ever see. Absolute rubbish, a complete mess, backed by horrible acting. This film was a serious miss by Oliver Stone. It seems like its trying to feed of the success of other epics such as Braveheart, Gladiator, maybe even Lord of the Rings. The writers must have thought, " what hasn't been done as a large scale epic? Alexander the Great!" Colin Farrell? WHY? Nothing of value in this film. It's common for Hollywood to take a story with deep routes in history, and adapt it, changing the story, perhaps to the horror of historians,but still adapting it successfully into a blockbuster movie. This film was was a miss both as an authentic portrayal, and a historic action movie. I went to an advanced preview of this film, and about twenty minutes before the end, the screen meant black momentarily, and the audience cheered thinking it was over, and instantly made for the exit, when the screen lit up again, most kept on walking out. Occasionally I think what I could have achieved if I didn't spend those three hours watching this film. Absolutely no satisfaction in watching this film. Quiet simply, Alexander(the movie) WAS NOT GREAT!!!! VERY FAR FROM IT!!!
