Worse than bad. I went to a pre-screening (radio-station prize thingie) it was so horrible I lect after 30 minutes. I have seen better cinematography on "Americas Funniest Home Video" It is aparent that Stone has had his turn in the spotlight and is trying, ever so hard, to return to the limelight. Alex, is SOOOOOOO bad, I wouldn't even let a DU'er go see it.
Semper Indigestion
Though I would not wish suffering upon you, I kinda wish you had stayed. One review claims he switched into Natural Born Killers mode half way through the thing. That alone would kill any desire I might have had to see the movie.
The History Channel documentary was also a disaster, I think. They had three hours to tell in detail how Alexander accomplished his conquests and they fell two hours and thirty minutes short of the mark. Even Indian/Buddhist culture was changed by this man. Heck, even Buddha was changed. After his arrival, images of the Buddha reflected a decidedly Hellenic influence.
