Title: The hats were good...
Review: Normally I don't agree with the pointy-headed intellectuals who write newspaper movie reviews, but for once they were right -- this film is awful.To begin with, the life of Alexander is one of those stories that is TOO BIG to fit into a movie of normal length. There are too many characters, too many battles, too much politics, too many drunken brawls. It really calls for the TV miniseries format.But Oliver Stone made a tough job worse by using every trite gimmick in the B-movie director's arsenal -- flashbacks without warning, people reading letters, a silly narration by an old veteran (does this make the whole movie a flashback???), and so help me, a sequence where the colors are all changed!!! Ed Wood could have done a better job. To get my brain cells working again, I had to watch SPARTACUS three times.I gave the movie 2 stars because the spears and armor are historically correct, and the Macedonians even wear authentic floppy sun hats.
