Alexander: Not So Great

Date of Review:  Dec 5, 2004
The Bottom Line: A historical figure like Alexander deserves a film that is truly Great. This one isn't.
Review: Alexander the Great is a challenging subject: the young man who conquered the known world and suddenly died at 33 crammed so many big achievements into his short career that he has been the subject of song and story for the past 2,300 years.

Alexander The Flop --- An epic of boredom

Date of Review:  Aug 11, 2005
The Bottom Line: Alexander is the theatrical failure of our time, and it's not because it is under-appreciated. In fact TOO MANY people have seen it already.
Review: The story of Alexander is a great one. THIS story of Alexander is by far, one of the worst depictions of the past I have seen. When I stop to consider the past 27 years of my life, I cannot come across a bigger flop both in box-office receipts,...

"ALEXANDER [Stone? Bush?] Found Babylon a Mistress Easier to Enter Than to Leave."

Date of Review:  Dec 8, 2004
The Bottom Line: MARCH 8, 2009: ALEXANDER REVISITED: THE FINAL CUT has improved upon the theatrical version mightily.  Though longest yet, Stones rearrangements, trimming, and additions make me give it an added star!
Review: The Son of the One-Eyed One became the King of One-Eyed Men.

But . . . was the One-Eyed One, Zeus or King Philip II of Macedonea?

That's the conundrum which propels and thwarts Alexander III in Writer/Director Oliver Stone's...

Alexander the Bland

Date of Review:  Aug 14, 2005
The Bottom Line: A disappointing flick. I'd expect better of Ferrell, Jolie, and Stone.
Review: Alexander the Great was one of history's most compelling figures. Inheriting the throne of his father at the age of 20, young Alexander had ambitions to conquer the known world. His legendary successes were made only that much more fantastic...

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...

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Movie...

Date of Review:  Dec 4, 2004
The Bottom Line: This movie is boring, overwrought, badly written, overacted, and ridden with cliches, stereotypes, and confusing editing.
Review: 5 Things I learned from the movie Alexander:

1) All ancient Greeks and Macedonians spoke with Irish accents.
2)Men in the throes of passionate movie love do not kiss or do anything remotely sexy. Instead they give each other...

Alexander - 25 Minutes of Alexander in Action!

Date of Review:  Nov 27, 2004
The Bottom Line: Skip Alexander and check out Troy or King Arthur.
Review: And 2 hours and 40 minutes of boring, uninspiring dialogue later, I was waiting for the movie to end by the two hour mark, even with the big fight at the end, Oliver Stone's direction of this movie was flat out horrible. In the months that preceded...

Alexander by Oliver Stone: Too Long, Too Irish, Too Much.

Date of Review:  Nov 25, 2004
The Bottom Line: Read the history books or watch the Richard Burton Alexander the Great from the 1950s.
Review: Alexander by Oliver Stone: Too Long, Too Irish, Too Much.

By James Zaworski

I just went to see the highly anticipated Oliver Stone film, Alexander. As a historian and anthropologist, I was very eager to see this movie. It had the...

"Alexander": Farrell The Great

Date of Review:  Feb 10, 2005
The Bottom Line: While "Alexander" is a decent film, and nowhere near as bad as critics suggested, the second half lacks direction. However, it?s certainly worthwhile viewing.
Review: 2005 looks like it's going to be the year of the biopic. Early last month, Ray became the first to be released in New Zealand, and The Aviator finally opened yesterday.

Then there's "Alexander". The funny thing here is the hype surrounding...

How I wasted three hours of my life...or "Alexander"

Date of Review:  Nov 27, 2004
The Bottom Line: The actors were superb; the dialogue flaky at best and the horrid script should be burned lest we be invaded.
Review: Let me preface this with a comment toward the homosexuality prevalent throughout this film: I consider myself to be an open and accepting person. BUT, the Alexander portrayed in this film was amoral and flamboyantly homosexual. This bothered me...
