Alexander is like The Birdcage on horseback

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2005
The Bottom Line: Avoid this waste of time. Horrible!
Review: How can I count the ways that Alexander sucked? Pretty much every person in it was miscast, Colin Farrell was especially awful, the music was horrible, the battle scenes were weak, it's boring as hell, and there's too much gay stuff. This review is...

makes Troy and Gladiator seem pedestrian in comparison

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 2004
The Bottom Line: A surprisingly good film, but doesn't fit into the usual box like other sword'n'sandal films.
Review: Alexander 4/5

Yet another sword and sandal film, and one which references the hero Achilles several times. Troy and Gladiator seem succinct in comparison to this three hour story about Alexander the Great, a well-known historical figure...

BABAM BABAM.................. alexander

Date of Review:  Dec 19, 2004
Review: Well then, its one of those movies that you have to be interested in the topic to enjoy it. If you are looking for an action-packed thriller, I'm not sure if you'll see what you want. But if you enjoy learning about history in documentary format;...

Alexander wasn't Irish, was he?

Date of Review:  Jan 14, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you must, see it when it appears on T.V.-- if it ever does. Otherwise, save your money as this movie was a waste of time.
Review: No, he was Macedonian. But Colin Farell is Irish now, isn't he? Why do they take good looking men, make their hair messy and blonde and make them wear skirts? Why do they take perfectly good accents and have actors struggle to mask them? Couldn't...

Alexander the Gay...I Mean Great

Date of Review:  Feb 9, 2005
Review: Me and one of my buddies went to the theater expecting some great man on man love scenes, not caring about the terrible reviews (we're female, by the way). To our great disdain, there were none. Or at least for the time that we were there, because...

Not Stone's Worst, but Certainly Among His Weakest (DVD Review)

Date of Review:  Aug 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: Not recommended.
Review: Although certainly flawed, I found myself greatly enjoying "Troy", the Brad Pitt epic that hit theaters several months before "Alexander". While I'm sure "Troy" probably played fast and loose with history, the picture did not take itself overly...

Alexander the Mediocre

Date of Review:  Nov 25, 2004
The Bottom Line: Oliver Stone tries to get a handle on an unique historical figure, but doesn't quite succeed.
Review: Work continues at Camp Sisterwood on Bodice Ripper, the post-modern feminist musical version of the Jack the Ripper story that I am attempting to choreograph. I must admit it's not going as well as I might like. I had Bob Mackie run up some lovely...

Great, my eye

Date of Review:  Nov 23, 2004
The Bottom Line: Sherman and Mr. Peabody had more plausible history
Review: Given that Alexander is largely composed of overwritten speeches, let us explore this cinematic hallucination in director Oliver Stone's declamatory style.

I begin my analysis with Stone himself. Having broken the backs of such modern...

Alexander

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2005
The Bottom Line: I recommend the film highly and will see it again in the cinema.
Review: I've just come from watching Alexander and can't understand why anyone would complain of it being too long. I was disappointed that it ended so soon. It is a stunning film, utterly authentic in matters of costuming, setting and weaponry. The battle...

Alexander the Bore

Date of Review:  Feb 19, 2005
Review: Alexander's film performance isn't exactly great in this adaptation.

There are many things wrong with this film. Where to begin...ah.

Firstly, it clocks in at just under 3 hours. By halfway through the film, viewers will likely...
