Alexander | 2004 | R | - 9.9.2
Epic cinematic depiction of the life of Alexander the Great (played by Colin Farrell) and how by the age of 32 he had conquered more of the known world than anyone before him, having defeated armies from Greece through Persia and all the way to India, establishing a short-lived Hellenistic empire stretching from Europe to Asia. Also with Angelina Jolie, Val Kilmer, Anthony Hopkins, Rosario Dawson, Jared Leto and Christopher Plummer. Directed by Oliver Stone. [2:56]

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
