ALEXANDER (2004)

Entertaining? No--it was a MESS.
Technically any good? No--it was a mess! I was astounded at how Oliver Stone had discarded all of his previous knowledge/experience making some seriously good films to make this piece of garbage. Too many scenes integral to Alexander's life were left out--like the scenes that establish him as a merciful conqueror. Also the battles were confusing.
How did I feel as the credits rolled? Gypped. Honestly, you see a biopic to learn about what makes a real historical figure tick. We saw some stuff, but none of it explained much of anything about why he acted the way he did.
Final Rating? DNS
