Oliver Stone re-creates the towering, true story of Alexander the Great (Colin Farrell), who, in the 4th Century BC, conquered Greece, Persia, Afghanistan and India – 90% of the "Known World." Against massive armies of chariots and elephants, he never lost a battle! Visionary, explorer, dreamer – he was also a tender son, torn by his mother's (Angelina Jolie) burning love and ambition and desperate for his father's (Val Kilmer) approval. His dream shaped the world we live in today.

Critics Consensus: Even at nearly three hours long, this ponderous, talky, and emotionally distant biopic fails to illuminate Alexander's life.

Reviews

The Advocate

Alonso Duralde

While it's worth applauding Alexander for not making its legendary hero 100% hetero, there's nothing else to recommend about this stilted, tedious epic.

World Socialist Web Site

David Walsh

It's not at all clear what Stone is getting at, other than suggesting that conquering the world is exhausting and psychologically damaging work.

Stone has always relished posing more questions than he has answers in biopics. In Alexander, however, he enjoys it a little too much.

Though Alexander is emotionally and intellectually incoherent, it's the work of a first-rate filmmaker who creates unforgettable images...could any contemporary actor fill Alexander's globe-bestriding shoes? He remains beyond Farrell's grasp.

When you look at the bloated gleeful paranoia of JFK or the hallucinatory inflation of Natural Born Killers, who would have thought Stone would pick this subject to make a film that's so much smaller than life?
