7 reviews so far. Only 1 is good.

"3-hour borefest."

"The real Alexander the Great conquered the world. Oliver Stone’s touchy-feely-weepy Alexander would be lucky to last three rounds against Margaret O’Brien."

Could it not be good? Or could it just be Oliver Stone hate?

"Alexander the Great will have to wait for another time and another director before justice can fully be achieved"

Still going to see it Wednesday.

People hated Troy but I loved it. I have feeling this will be the same...

It'll be better than Troy simply because it's Oliver Stone...

Colin Farrell looks goofy with blond hair. I can't take this movie seriously if I can't take the lead character seriously.

 

[Sriram]

Words. Fail.

are you sure? jesus, all the commercials i've seen, alexander looks dead-on val kilmer... wait, yeah, I guess you're right, though, since they actually matched up the names with the right people for the ones that actually look like themselves.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Brilliant, firex. BRILLIANT. :lol

Doesn't Rosario Dawson get naked in it?

*Prays this man is correct*

 

[sefskillz]

I didn't like any of the trailers, but it's an Oliver Stone film. I have to go for that reason alone.

I had trouble reading the text on that one. "That doesn't look like Richard Dawson" I thought.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

only 7 reviews and no cream of the crop yet, no reason to be alarmed.

 

[Trevelyon]

I remember everyone laughing at the trailer during one scene with Angelina Jolie. Her ridiculously bad Russian/Slovak? hybrid accent coupled with her overdramatic acting, was just too much.

 

[ManaByte]

Doesn't Rosario Dawson get naked in it?

Yes.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

This isn't brain surgery. You KNOW it's going to suck just from the casting.

Jesus christ awful casting...

 

[Cimarron]

just sw a screening of it... not bad! I'm impressed with the amount of greek man love they portrayed. Angelina was a bit over the top though. Also Rosario's milkshake scene was great!

 

[Master Z]

Also Rosario's milkshake scene was great!

I just might have to check this out after all...

 

[tedtropy]

I take it Oliver Stone had some form of contribution to this movie... :lol

 

[effzee]

i dont put too much stock in movie commercials with critical claim but i just saw a spot for this movie with some critics praising it very highly. it just seems like a hot movie and angelina jolie can do anything and ill watch!

 

[Mejilan]

I saw the half hour making of special on HBO and it looks fantastic.

Did they really fuck it up to the point of being worse than the absymal TROY?

 

[firex]

Anyone?

sorry, but if you've seen tv ads, alexander looks like val kilmer, and until i actually read the rest of that movie poster I thought they were doing that retarded "line up the names and actors differently" stuff some posters do.

 

[Agent Dormer]

Just saw it tonight with Meier - it sucked... worse than Troy.

Damn dude, we need to organize a meet up or something. Agent Dormer, myself and Striker Obi were all at the movie tonight too.

And yes, this was at least ten times worse than Troy.

 

[Fusebox]

I really enjoyed Troy but this looks a little too slow for me.
