Review of Alexander (1996) by Henry M — 21 Feb 2017
Talk about a bad movie, I could not get past the two hour mark, and that says a lot since I got past Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
Real quick:
Alexander and his dad were both Irish, I know this because they both used Irish accents in the movie.
Hollywood can't make a movie without a guy or lesbian main character. Here it's Alexander... spite no historical reference supporting this and the threat of lawsuits form 25 Greek lawyers, Oliver Stone decided to go with it. Oh, 25% of the movie is Alexander's gay love scenes, so... really gay.
Nearly all the actors appear to be trying to do Shakespeare.
All the men love eye liner.
The movie moves slower than a snail.
That sums it up, with far more than it deserved.
