After I heard about all those TV documentaries about making and becoming Alexander, I was rather hyped to see the film. But when I actually saw it, I left a little disappointed. The acting is brilliant in the film ... but I don`t know ... I couldn`t focus for the entire 3 hours! Some parts of the story were slow and there wasn`t enough action scenes. I don`t know, something. I think that the movie depended too much on its narration. Despite it`s flaws however, I definately think that it`s worth watching.

This was possibly one of the worst movies ever. It was a confusing mess of a story. This movie played out more like a documentary, with the story being told through an exhaustive narrative. I actually contemplated ending my life more than once over the course of this 3 hour debacle.

alexander stopped being "the great" after this movie. He was portrayed as a neurotic selfish paranoid who lost his focus in life. He was nothing but a weakling from the movie.

Exceptional, especially when a culture (Greek) is true to itself. We see in Alexander a `human` in every degree. Fallable, Heroic, Lustful, Confused, Idealistic, Reasoned. But what turns many off, is the bisexual nature that Alexander is human enough to show. This is what the Victorians and Puritians of this age fail to embrace, the whole picture. And hence we see the decline of the appreciation of art and acting, when we fail to see the `humanity` of this epic. Instead of the `morality`. This is a saga explaining the nature of humanity in all ages. To be ruled by `reason` or by `passion`, this is the question.

All I am going to say is... after I watched this movie, I get a big headache. The plot is confusing, and unorganized. Totally opposite rating compare to TROY. I feel like I watched a documentary film.

I was hesitant when going into see ALEXANDER because of previous attempts by american filmakers to reproduce greek history. Alexander was great, there was excellent character building..instead of jumping right into his feats as an adult, they started off in his childhood--which was relevant. The fight scenes, the intimate scenes, the flashbacks, the fastforwards..all wonderful. Great script, great acting...oliver stone is an exquisite director. This movie is fantastic…

Starts well but starts dragging after 45 minutes. Somewhat historically inaccurate.

I`d like to say that I find it amusing that novody who claimed to like this movie actually gave reasons behind thier opinions. While everyone who hated it offer reasonable explainations. This movie is a tragety of hollywood
