Review of Alexander (1996) by Alastair H — 20 Feb 2010
This is a solid epic movie about the life of Alexander the Great. The film stars Colin Farrell as Alexander. We watch Alexander from his life as a child to his conquest and his leadership of Rome. Farrell is solid in his role.
Plus a good supporting cast with Val Kilmer, Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Jared Leto and Rosario Dawson. The movie has many epic battle scenes. They are the highlights of this film. The story is interesting enough.
Not sure how historically accurate director Oliver Stone made the movie. But it touched on points of Alexander conquests and bisexual nature at times. Overall this film seemed to be missing something.
Not sure what though. It felt incomplete to me. But it was worth the one time watch. If you enjoy movies like Gladiator or Braveheart then maybe give this a watch.
