yeah but it has Angelina Jolie
Can't wait for the historian V Hanson to pick it apart. He already mentioned that it was free of any historical precedence.
I'm trying to remember the good Oliver Stone movie, but I'm drawing a blank.
AICN is a fairly useless website and I refuse to even click on the link. However it was pretty obvious from the commericals that this movie was going to be awful
Jolies' accent....ugh.
You can tell how bad the movie is just from the preview. Horribly bad acting in just about every scene shown. The best performance is by the elephant.
The History Channel just had a great show on Alexander the Great...
Wow, what a shock. Not.
So, I guess no academy award for Oliver Stone, once again?
Are apolitical film reviews a thing of the past?
Let's boycott ALL first-run movies!!!
Nobody pays 8$ to see this tripe.
Wouldn't this be a way to get the attention
of the Hollyweird lib elite?

Are you reviewing the movie and the war in Iraq? While the movie ended after 2 hours the war is ongoing
Nearly every woman I know went to see Troy....
Just to see the guys ;)
Alexander will end up like Troy,
A droll fest for the females.
History provides such fertile ground for epic films, it really makes me mad when Hollywood has to trash the truth with it's drug induced notion of 'art'. (Although, I did finally break down and rent The Alamo and it wasn't nearly as bad as its marketing suggested.)
I wonder how much they pushed the "Alexander was a studly gay guy" angle. I pegged this one as being an agenda movie from the few previews I saw.
Say what you want, the football movie was decent. Not great, but decent.
Saw "The Incredibles". Excellent!!!
Colin Farrel is a bitch
I have "I Claudius" on DVD. The production values are a bit threadbare, but I think of it as a stage play. Much of the acting an writing is first rate.
OUCH!
and I have actually been to King Philips Tomb and to Pela where Alexander was born (in Macedonia, Greece).
Oliver Stone actually went to Greece to collect information and was offered much of the correct history of Alexander. This of course was contrary to the bastardized history of western universities.
Too bad really, I might have considered seeing it at some point. O well Oliver stone rides again.
Perhaps the OTHER two alexander movies currently being made will get it right.
Toast the review and the reviewer. I'll wait to see what the audience reports to the lists and the messageboards. If they like it, I'll probably like it too. Couldn't be worse than The Alamo. Or, could it?
