	Flipside Movie Emporium: Alexander Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Alexander the Great was a towering figure, but Alexander the movie doesn't provide the slightest insight into who he was or how he attained so much.
		There are efforts at a Freudian link to Alexander's mother, at an idealism that saw the entire world united as one, at an aspiration to the mythic that would place the conqueror alongside the gods themselves.
		Alexander is a great thunderous wreck, loud as a gong and just as hollow, but at least it lets us laugh at it.

		Alexander explains his strategy, which apparently is a daring and bold one, since it's their 40,000 men against the 250,000 strong Persian army.
		Alexander sets out in pursuit, but is stopped only by notice from a messenger that his other forces tackling the other part of the Persian army on the other side is being overrun and they need help quickly.
		He gives alexander a lovely yellow-cat's-eye ring, saying he bought it from a man who said that the stone fell from the sun and the stars, and he bought it for alexander so that his life would always be bright.

	Alexander. Movie Review @ Hollywood.com - The best online source for movie reviews. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Oliver Stone 's Alexander is the sprawling, epic life story of one of the greatest military commanders of all time, a man who conquered most of the known ancient world at a relatively young age.
		Alexander spends a great deal of time there--taking in the culture, claiming its riches and marrying a Bactrian princess, Roxane ( Rosario Dawson)--much to the chagrin of his Macedonian generals, who are stuck in this foreign land with their king.
		He exudes plenty of wide-eyed fury and intensity as Alexander the warrior, balanced by the controlled calculation of a hyper-effective military commander, although he isn't nearly as effective as the idealistic, pre-world-conqueror Alexander as he is spiraling down into the haunted, angst-ridden Alexander at the end of his obsessive crusade.

	ALEXANDER Movie Synopsis
		Alexander led his virtually invincible Greek and Macedonian armies through 22,000 miles of sieges and conquests in just eight years, and by the time of his death at the age of 32 had forged an empire unlike any the world had ever seen.
		Alexander expands his empire into the unknown lands of modern day Central Asia before venturing across the Himalayan foothills, further than any Westerner had ever gone, continuing his conquests all the way to the exotic world of India.
		The film chronicles Alexander's path to becoming a living legend, from a youth fueled by dreams of myth, glory, and adventure, to his intense bonds with his closest companions, to his lonely death as a ruler of a vast empire.

	Alexander Movie Review
		Oliver Stone’s Alexander the Great story is more about the man himself and his relationships with the men in his life, than it is about Alexander’s conquests and life as a ruler.
		Alexander’s sexual relationship with his lifelong companion Hephaistion (Jared Leto) is teased throughout the film, as is Alexander’s attraction to eunuchs.
		Stone’s desire to show Alexander as a man who was raised by a deranged mother and an abusive, drunkard of a father does nothing to help us Alexander neophytes understand why men followed him to the ends of the earth.

		We then see Alexander become the King of Macedonia and proceed to lead his army on an eight-year epic journey in which they conquer much of the Persian empire and end their journey in India in a final blood-soaked battle.
		The movie was long, logging in at almost three hours, which isn't always a problem but with a movie that was painfully slow at times, well, that three hours felt more like four or five.
		Although the movie has moments of greatness, it is a struggle through too many parts of the movie and for that reason, I recommend proceeding with caution if you are considering checking out this one.

		"Alexander," Oliver Stone's sweeping historical saga that charts the life and legend of one of the greatest figures in world history.

		Past and present collide to form the puzzle of the protagonist, a tapestry of triumphs and tragedies in which childhood memories and Alexander's rise to power unfold side by side with the later day expansion of his empire, and its ultimate downfall.

		Alexander (Colin Farrell) was groomed for greatness as a boy, by his drunken oaf father (Val Kilmer) and his snake-worshiping mother Olympias (Angelina Jolie), who claimed he was the son of the god Zeus himself.
		The movie seems to be focusing on the phantom resided in his mind, not a conqueror's history that could be always rewritten as the winner-sided stories.
		Alexander is a great movie about a great man, who was as powerful sexually as he was on the battlefield.

	Alexander movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		Alexander the Great is a historical figure that conquered 90% of the world during the fourth century B.C. by the time he was 25.
		Alexander is also taught daily by the famous philosopher Aristotle (Christopher Plummer) and develops a mutual bond with classmate friend and eventual lover Hephaistion.
		Stone stands by the myth that Alexander was the son of Zeus and the choice that Zeus comforted his mother, Olympias, metaphorically in the form of a snake.

	Reviews: Alexander - Christianity Today Movies
		Likewise, there have been very few films about Alexander the Great and his conquests; the genre of the ancient epic is so dominated by biblical stories that, traditionally, even films that concern themselves with pagan history have been obliged to at least refer to the looming arrival of Christianity in their narration.
		The story of Alexander is told through the eyes of Ptolemy (Anthony Hopkins), a general of his who went on to become Pharaoh in Alexandria, and who is now dictating the story of their conquests some 40 years later to a scribe in that city's famous library.
		His Alexander is a much more sensitive character, who spends much of his time either making goo-goo eyes at his male lovers, or trembling and whining about his victimization at the hands of his abusive, negligent father and his domineering, manipulative mother.

		In this movie, Alexander is portrayed as torn by the forces of his sinister mother, Olympias, and his warrior father, Philip II of Macedonia.
		The movie portrayed a hero that had fallowers but it did not show why they were so loyal to him, so ready to die dor him; certainly it was not beacuse of his speeches (Lord who wrote those?!).
		Alexander is one of the most interesting figures in the history of the modern world.

	Joe Critic \| "Alexander" Movie Review & More
		Narrated by Ptolemy 40 years after his death, the film fuses together the puzzle that was Alexander’s life; from his parents — the beloved King Phillip and the ambitious and ruthless Queen Olympias — to his search for an heir, to the rise and fall of his empire.
		After conquering the Persians, Alexander and his “band of brothers” moved on throughout Asia in search of the end of the world, conquering any and all tribes they met on the way.
		Alexander runs almost 3 hours long, a long time to be sitting in a movie you like but a terrible ordeal for a movie this bad.

		Undefeated yet mortal, great yet flawed, larger-than-life yet human, Alexander has left a mark in the histories of so many peoples for a reason, and yet, the film has no more chances to be understood by his viewers than the king himself from his soldiers and childhood friends.

		Alexander depicts the story of the true legend of ancient Greece, Alexander the Great who had conquered more than 90% of the known world by the age of 26.
		Dissuaded by the storm of horrendous reviews this movie had received, I was determined to enter the theater and sit through what ultimately turned out to be a 3-hour-long ridiculous bore.
		As I said, the movie starts off with Jolie (mother of Alexander) fondling some snakes where the then young Alexander is gazing with awe.
