Review of Alexander (1996) by Kyle M — 04 Sep 2014

I may not know a lot about Alexander the Great, but I do know that this "biopic" of his may be inaccurate and a failure to the epic genre at the same time failed to be like Warner Bros' previous epic with similar roots "Troy." It's too powerful with nonsense in what they're doing or saying or yelling. It doesn't match to the epic scale, nor the legacy probably.

However, Oliver Stone's probable failed attempt to do an epic on a legend shows that historians would be really good resources in productions when studios are trying something out like this if they don't have enough knowledge to do a successful flick. If historians are criticizing these kind of films, then this shows that studios can ask for their help as good resources.

"Alexander" the epically-scaled failed to match the scale or went overboard on the power of the genre. It marks a checkpoint that the shadow of The Return of the King had faded. (C+).
