Oliver Stone, what were you thinking?

Rating: 1/10 (13 November 2010)

I watched "Alexander, Director's Cut" for the second time. I hadn't seen it for quite a while and couldn't remember if I had liked the movie or not. After watching it again I remembered...I hated this movie.
With all of the big stars in this movie you would think that at least some of it would be halfway decent. However, the Greeks, who didn't look or sound Greek, the Macadonians, who didn't look or sound Macadonian, and so on were expected to give their lines in awful Scottish, Irish, and English accents. It was a rare occasion when anyone resembled who they should have looked or sounded like. I can't even begin to imagine who Angelie Jolie was supposed to be sounding like. And of course they didn't bother to age her when she should have been aging.
It was like a throwback to a time when directors didn't have a clue what things were like. But in this day and age of world wide travel and the world wide web, it's almost impossible not to find the answer to that question.
And to top things off, I understand that Mr. Stone didn't do this movie once, not twice, but three times??? Seriously, what is the point?
