It is difficult to believe that such a big budget, star filled epic could be so awful, but alas it is about as bad as it gets. The plot is at times incomprehensible and many of the grand monologues are just... Full review

This movie has asolutely no plot, action, or emotional attachment. I was so glad when Alexander finally died so i could leave the theater. Oliver Stone was definitely going out on a limb when he made this movie. This was a... Full review

As a mythical hero, Alexander is fascinating....Even at three hours, these films have failed the simple story telling test.....Certainly, Oliver Stone must have been proud of it;....There are many elements that make this a captivating story....Val Kilmer as the one-eyed king is horrifyingly effective, instilling in the young Alexander.... ...

And there's almost too much in this story to encompass, just as the world was finally too large for Alexander to win.
Wild ambition and great achievement sometimes carry the seeds of their own destruction - a proposition that is both the central subject and dangerous stylistic temptation of Oliver Stone 's vast, riveting, madly audacious movie biography "Alexander.

It has many flaws and is heavy-handed in its narration.....Alexander" finds an elder Ptolemy (Anthony Hopkins) recounting his time spent with the great Alexander.....The major problem I had with "Alexander" and this "Alexander Revisited" version was the casting of Colin Farrell as Alexander.....I believe that Farrell is a fine actor and I enjoy him in most of the films....Unfortunately, the film feels too long in its three and a half hour running time.... ...

He wanted "Alexander" to be colorful, grand and as epic in its visuals as it was in its storytelling.
Alexander" finds an elder Ptolemy (Anthony Hopkins) recounting his time spent with the great Alexander.
Alexander" is not a perfect film.
