An honest review

Rating: 1/10 (19 November 2004)

I just saw the new Oliver Stone film "Alexander" at a free screening at the University of Pennsylvania sponsored by Polo Jeans, and I honestly have to say that this movie was one of the worst films I have ever seen. I am usually someone who tries to find the good in any film, but this movie was so horrendous that I feel a moral obligation to the IMDb community...no, the world, to warn everyone of the monstrosity that is "Alexander." Everything about this movie is flat out horrible. I can't think of one thing the film does well, other than the last half hour, which is so unintentionally hilarious it almost makes the first 7 hours worth sitting through. In the theater I was at, people were booing and yelling out "worst movie ever!" and "just end already!" and someone even went up to the projector and started doing shadow puppets with their hands in the last few seconds of the movie, which was followed by everyone cheering. I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard. My friend was crying he was laughing so hard. People were walking out of the theater early.
Please, do not reward the makers of this film by paying to see it. Oliver Stone should be shot (In the foot of course, nothing lethal). If you can see this movie for free and don't care about wasting 7 hours or however long it was (it sure felt like 7 hours), go ahead because it is worth the laughs in the end because it is so terrible.
