Oliver Stone's Alexander, starring Colin Farrell and Angelina Jolie, was universally dismissed as a wretched, unwatchable film. I, however, thought it was fascinating. Sure, there were campy moments, but they're expected in any period piece. Otherwise, I thought it was appropriately epic and often very sexy. Not a bad film at all.
*ANYONE* else enjoy it?

I have the 1956 version with Richard Burton, and it is much better than the newer one. I suppose there are worse movies than the new one, but bad casting hurt it. Rosario dawson is totlly wrong as roxanne, and Angelina Jolie is awful as Olympias. Poor Colin could not save it alone.

I thought the whole thing was horrible. From the casting, despite the fact Colin Farrell is handsome, to the cinematography, the script, the battle scenes, the plot. It wasn't done well at all. It's not just a few crappy moments, the whole thing was simply atrocious. But everyone has their own tastes. In general however, Alexander is a difficult character in history to depict. He was a great and interesting man. At least Oliver Stone tried.

I like Alexander, Colin Farrell is a really talented actor, and has a great nack for doing accents really well aswell.

I enjoyed the movie. I think a lot of people where taken back when they found out Alexanders "past times" and judged the movie harshly because of this.

I liked it. It was different then from other movies that make movies about those times. The way the parts were acted out, the language, and the points of shot were different. I have the movie and I really did like it.

The only good thing in it and worth watching was: Anjelina!
The rest was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo campy and the other actors sooooo wooden.

yes, i love it. it is one of the best movies made. Angelina Jolie plays her role very well. Another good one is Troy, that is just as good.

I enjoyed it. I thought it was done very well. It was definitely Oliver Stonish (I was waiting for a second gun man), but it was good.
