Author Topic: Alexander (2004) Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 11-24-2004 10:43 AM                    Oh, my God, this movie blows! I can't think of one good thing to say about it. For me it was basically a three hour chain of events - with no story. I couldn't have cared less about any of the characters. My girlfriend, who's much smarter than I am about such things, said "Gee, that was an interesting interpretation." While I'm no history expert, her comment doesn't surprise me given Oliver Stone's inability to make a film without rewriting history. I thought Troy was much better. And I didn't even like Troy.  |  IP: Logged Don Anderson Master Film Handler Posts: 312 From: West Bend, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-26-2004 01:23 AM                     It's amazing that the studios cut KILL BILL in half, making it part one and two. But, left this piece of 3 hours long. Loved the gayness of the film, but other than that it just sucked. That dye job on Colins hair was dreadful. I'll give the movie 1 star, only because it was in scope and in color. 3 less hours that remain of my life.  |  IP: Logged Wolff King Morrow Master Film Handler Posts: 490 From: Denton, TX, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 11-26-2004 02:49 AM                        We all agreed at work this movie just plain sucks. A complete waste of 3 hours. 1 out 5 just for the couple of battle scenes only.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-01-2004 02:21 PM                     Sometimes I'm just a bit bored on my day off, so I went to see Alexander. I admit to having a thing for Angelina Joli Oh my god does this movie blow.  |  IP: Logged Nicholas Roznovsky Expert Film Handler Posts: 156 From: College Station, TX, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 12-04-2004 10:09 AM                        Ugh. Badly written, badly cast, badly acted, badly directed. As Mark said, this movie makes Troy look halfway decent. Can we stop with the crappy cookie-cutter historical Gladiator copycats now?!? I want my three hours back.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 01-08-2005 06:41 PM                     Cineword Wakefield, Screen 6, Scope (Top Masking), Dolby Digital ----- It wasn't too bad. For starters it needed more battle scenes. Just 2 scenes in a 2hour 50min movie is not enough , the pacing was all wrong. I've seen worse, I've also seen much better.  |  IP: Logged
