Alexander
Oliver Stone's epic tale of Alexander the Great is a lengthy 3 hour journey that is dark and unsettling. Colin Farrell stars as Alexander, Val Kilmer is his father, and Angelina Jolie is his mother. None are likeable characters. Rated "R" for violence, sexuality, and nudity. Alexander spends too much time kissing his mother and other men instead of fighting. The men are engaged in too many rape scenes. Colin exposes his backside. On the plus side, Alien enjoyed the ancient cities depicted by the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Library of Alexandria. While Alexander boasts of being the descendent of Achilles, this epic story is no "Troy".
Alien gives it 2 "too long and unsatisfying" stars out of 4.
