"Alexander the Great" is a film released in 2004 directed by Oliver Stone and starring Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Colin Farrell, Val Kilmer and Jared Leto. In my opinion, Oliver Stone's movie, Alexander was a 3-hour waste of time if you were watching it for entertainment purposes. The characters lacked depth, Colin Farrell's blonde do was very strange and the whole movie moved too slowly. Giant leaps were made with no explanations, battle scenes weren't particularly …showed first 75 words of 1664 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1664 total…he believed in them as no other child, and out of that belief and faith grew this monumental drive and destiny, which he achieved." This is what Oliver Stone tried and did show in his movie. After watching his movie you can walk away knowing you have learnt something true from it. In the film and in real life Alexander III the Great was and still is "Megas Alexandros", the greatest Alexander of them all.
