'Alexander' Oliver Stones big blockbuster hit is getting panned to say the least. So I guess we can not put the word HIT in front of Blockbuster. Regardless I am going to see it tonight or tomorrow and will share my review of it. Check in over the weekend to see my opinion.

Oliver Stones Alexander only took in 3.9 million opening day and is not doing much better. Disneys National Treasure continues to be in the top spot. Oliver stone it seems is blaming the press and says that it will do better in europe because of better acceptance by the press there. We will see.


Oh, well ...

the reson no one went to see the movie was because of the whole gay thing. i dont think oliver was making excuses when he said that, infact i believe it is true. oh well, when it comes out to dvd ill buy it. right now im broke!

the reason Alexander is bombing is because the the film sucks! it dosent even deserve the 3.9 million. The only reason I sat through it cuz I paid 7.50 for my ticket!

the film got worse and worse as it went on. so much of the important history of Alexander was cut out, and I understand reasons, but to jus have Hopkins narrate in between was pitiful. There was so much over-acting. Oh, especially Angelina Jolie and her Transylvanian accent, that got on my nerves so bad that I was screaming and laughing. Val Kilmer was still stuck playing Jim Morrison from The Doors, and Jared Leto and Rosario Dawson were so lifeless!!! And speaking of Rosario Dawson, when were Asians black?

The fights were mediocre at best, and the camera was so shaky you couldnt tell what was going on. For all I could tell the soldiers were raving to Red Hot Chili Peppers!!! The History Channel's presentation was better than this 3 hr turd!!!

If you have any dignity or pride dont go see this trash! the last good Oliver Stome film was Platoon, IN 1981!!!!!

Troy was Oscar caliber compared to this, and Troy was barely decent. Im going to have to drop out of my Advanced Placement classes cuz my IQ was dropped so much after seeing this so called film.

I don't think that had anything to do with it. Anyone who is a history buff knows homosexuality and bisexuality were quite common in ancient times. I think some people just don't like the casting. I know I have reservations about Colin and Angelena. Neither would be my first choice.

troy blew, it didnt get anything right, so inaccurate and not remotley entertaining.


And now, some passages from Catch-22

It dosn't make a damned bit of difference who wins the war to someone who's dead.

Clevinger had a mind, and Lieutenant Scheiskopf had noticed that people with minds tended to get pretty smart at times.

Racial prejudice is a terrible thing, Yossarian. It really is. It's a terrible thing to
treat a decent, loyal Indian like a ni**er, k*ke, w*p or sp*c.

the main reason i did not go see this movie is because of him being gay or bi, what ever he was. i do not want to support that crap. i also had heard that it had a mish-mash if accents, which i absolutly hate when that happens. so ya, i saved my money. i guess if i did want to see it, i could always download it. im not a pirate!!

Well, I bought the ticket for the SpongeBob SuarePants Movie, and sneaked to Alexander, it was alright, but not as good as Troy, like I said before.

You're right it wasn't as good as Troy, it was better. If you're looking for a dumbed down for hollywood and totally inacurate version of the story see Troy, but if you want to see a movie that actualy has ambition and grea realistic battle scenes that actualy have real strategies behind them see Alexander...I'll say it again...Rasario Dawson naked is worth the price alone.

Who is to say it was true? I've actually yet to hear anyone and I mean ANYONE prove to me that it is true. I'm not homophobic, infact I really care less what people do, but I do believe in the truth. And when you make a movie about a famous figure in history, even if its based on him, you should try and follow history as accurately as possible.

Just because there were gay people back then doesn't make him gay. Thousands of years from now people will look back and say, "Hey, they had gay people back then! Nick whats his name must have been gay!"

Seriously people... Just because Alexander cried at his best friend's funeral doesn't make him gay.

And for the record, I thought the movie sucked and was a waste of my time and money. It dragged on forever and was extremely annoying. I do have to hand it to the special effects guys though, they did a good job. The battle scenes were the only parts I did enjoy.
