Coming out of tiny Macedonia, Alexander led his armies against the mighty Persian Empire, drove west to Egypt, and finally made his way east to India. This film will concentrate on those eight years of battles, as well as his relationship with his boyhood friend and battle mate, Hephaestion. Alexander died young, of illness, at 33. Alexander's conquests paved the way for the spread of Greek culture (facilitating the spread of Christianity centuries later), and removed many of the obstacles that might have prevented the expansion of the Roman Empire. In other words, the world we know today might never have been if not for Alexander's bloody, yet unifying, conquest.Newest Review: ... really, it's hard to forget his, it's right there on the box) there just might be a problem. If you're watching this for a ... more ... historical epic, you will be disappointed. Hell, even if you're watching it in the hope of half decent porny moments you will be disappointed (although parents beware - there is male and female full frontal nudity). It's inaccurate, badly acted, and so disjointed half the time you won't even know what's going on at all. The only reason I'm giving it two stars at all is it makes a terrific film to mock with friends.

An epic tale, shame a tiny man played one of the ancient times greatest warriors Alexander the Great. The film deals with key experiences of Alexander as youth and as a leader and legend that he become after conquest of Persia and strong minded will to get to the end of the Earth. Alexanders conquests took him all the way to India. That is shown in here as well. The story in this film is like a biography told me some say Alexanders half brother Ptolemy I Soter. Alexander is shown as complex character. His father doesn't like him that much.. it was lucky for him the way he became king. Lot is made of his youth, his strange mother, ...
Alexander (DVD): Not Too Great (1185 words)

Do you ever watch a film and then wonder how the director ever had the guts / nerve / self-belief to release the film and expect people to think it was any good? I do. Frequently. Oliver Stone's biopic, Alexander, is a perfect example of this bewildering determination to produce and release absolute rubbish. Set roughly 300 years before the birth of Christ, Alexander charts the stormy life of Alexander The Great from childhood to adulthood and to eventual demise. If the story of the Macedonian king's life is of interest to you then, surprisingly, Alexander is probably not the film for you. I found it rather confused, messy and laborious to say the least and ...
