| Alexander Review |
| by Jerry Saravia |
| "Alexander" is a bloated, beautiful, muddled mess of an epic. There
are images and performances of searing power, and there is just enough
melodrama to make fans of lavish epics puke. more |

| by Andrew Staker |
| "Everyone out of the way, another historical epic is steamrolling through!" I
must confess my bias: big, expensive recreations of the past (or fantasy) do
not really excite me. I prefer to read about history than see it 'come to life'
in a mess of Celtic...more |

| A SPECIAL NOTE FOR THOSE WHO CARE: The following conversation may or may not
have taken place. Okay, it didn't...but it should have. And if somehow it DID,
then my cruel satire just became ridiculous truth. more |

| Oh, what an uneven movie. Oliver Stone's misguided epic seems to want to pay
homage to a legendary conqueror. But like Alexander the Great (Colin Farrell)
who continually pushes himself wherever the wind may take him, the film can't
find any footing...more |

| Alexander the Great (Colin Farrell) lived from 356 to
323 B.C. and, in that brief span of almost 33 years, the Macedonian king
conquered most of the then-known world against incredible odds. Helmer Oliver
Stone brings the life of the first world...more |

| CAPSULE: ALEXANDER is a little long and at times
slow, but not unrewarding as a movie for history
buffs. Much of the film just does not work, but
parts are very impressive. A good cinematic
biography of this great conqueror is...more |

| Alexander (Colin Farrell), the King of Macedonia, conquered 90% of the known
world by age 25. Not bad considering all *I* was conquering by that age was
HTML and ASP programming. It is said that he never lost a battle. By the time
of his death at the age...more |

| In all of history, only one man was great enough to have conquered ninety
percent of the known world by traveling 22,000 miles and fighting 70 battles
undefeated - "Alexander." more |

| Susan Granger's review of "Alexander" (Warner Bros.)
Writer/director Oliver Stone has delivered a Thanksgiving turkey, a
over-stuffed historical epic that's arduously slathered with sappy symbolism
and overt homosexuality and spiced with ambition,...more |

| We also don't recommend Oliver Stone's Alexander. At least to anyone who
doesn't have three hours to kill, as well as a desire to be bored to
death-slash-watch the frightening tragedy collectively called Val Kilmer's
Career. Kilmer isn't the star of...more |

| Oliver Stone's ALEXANDER is a 3-hour borefest that takes you back to the time
when a band of pretty boys, led by Alexander the Great Looking, conquered the
known world. Appearing like models fresh from a GQ fashion shoot, Alexander's
men followed him...more |
