Review of Alexander (1996) by Steve S — 16 Mar 2010
** (out of four).
A missed opportunity here by director Oliver Stone. He had the opportunity to tell the fascinating story of one of the most interesting and complex men in history. Instead he gave us a bloated, overlong, and mostly unexciting history lesson that fails to capture the essence of its lead character.
Colin Farrell is fairly well cast as Alexander the Great, the now mythic figure who was leader of Persia. He crossed the lands concquering as he went. He was on his way to ruling a huge chunk of the world.
