Epic movie or discovery channel special?

Rating: 3/10 (28 November 2004)

Oliver Stone has a strange way of making movies sometimes. Natural Born Killers & U Turn started out using some funking film styles then changed soon into the movie.
Stone goes at it again in Alexander, but with the plot this time. In what felt like an eternity. Alexander starts off feeling like a Discovery Channel special & then flips over to a soap opera.
The implied bisexuality of Alexander & the Macedonian men is hinted at through out the movie, yet never shown. Hints at men sleeping together & even what looks to be a anal rape seen are all very ambiguous and never are shown.
Stone needed to either make it a documentary or a soap opera & either show the bisexual nature of Alexander or not.
Ontop of all that the battle scenes are horrible. Think the football scenes in Any Given Sunday & you've got the look of the only 2 battle scenes in the movie.
