"Conquer your fear, and I promise you, you will conquer death."
If you're enthusiastic to waste 3 valuable hours on Oliver Stone's tedious, meaningless, lackluster epic then I won't stop you. But the fact remains that Alexander is a substantially appalling film that should never plague your DVD player.
Before continuing with this review, I must clear up a few things:... read more
"
Why I never watched it before:
To me it seems another plastic Hollywood blockbuster like Troy, and I didn't like that movie at all. Moreover, I think Colin Farrell and Angelina Jolie weren't the best choice to play Alexander and Olympias. Especially Farrell is totally unsuitable for that role.
Why I decided to watch it:
It was on tv and, after all, it's still a Oliver Stone work.
Well, what do I think after watching it?
I didn't like it. I find it rather boring and Colin Farrell was totally"
"Oliver Stonen megapaskaläjä. Tietokonegrafiikka on rumaa, ja tapahtumat aivan yhdentekeviä, sillä Stone ei halua sanoa oikeastaan mitään uutta tai mielenkiintoista hahmostaan eikä hahmonsa kautta. Hahmoa ei ole elävöitetty, vaan se on lähinnä kirjallisuuslähteistä yksi yhteen kopioitu ja pahvisesti toteutettu. Hahmon äidin "pahuus" ei oikein missään vaiheessa selity kunnolla ja henkilöt ja näiden väliset suhteet jäävät erittäin etäisiksi. Joliessa ja muissa ei ole mielest"
"I am aware that the Empire:Total War series is awesome. I have no dispute about that. But I would like to see a game developed solely based on Alexander the Great's conquests on the battlefield. It would be up to the player to obtain control of the entire known world. I see this title being developed as a RTS. Or maybe even something like Sid Myer's Civilization. Please, no Dynasty Warriors treatment. All of your failures would cause your troops and previously conquered territories to become dis"
“This was a movie I had wanted to see for a while and I heard that there was a lot of talking so I was excepting that but holy crap was there a lot of talking. I did like how the story took place and unfolded but overall this movie was pretty bad.
"Day 26: A movie that you love, but everyone else hates
People really took to this movie like a ginger to the sun and I never really understood it. I think that it's aesthetically captivating and that the performances are wonderful all-round. Stone decided to focus more on the man than the myth and, while some battles are compacted into one another (screen time is limited folks), I thought that the political and military endeavours were quite well portrayed. Peoples arguments against the film se"
"Ylipitkää ja sielullisesti onttoa paatosta jossa Colin Farrel hämmästelee paljon maailman ihmeitä ja kuolaa Jared Leton perään. Val Kilmer on ihan hauska."
