| Alexander Revisited - The Final Cut The Final Insult, that's how they should call it. I remember seeing Alexander and being completely blown(I also loved Catwoman when it came out, it's crazy) away with it and I had bitter discussions with this genius friend of mine who said the movie was shit and I said it wasn't that it was great, and an incredibly positive role model for gays and stuff, and one year later I buy the director's cut and saw it and only then, like a year later and after seeing it many times(I don't know why, I so don't get things at the first go) I realized the movie was total shit.
It really is one of the worst movies ever made. Too bad it took me years to realize it.
Anyway, Oliver Stone is releasing this dvd who has like 45 more minutes into the movie, and this is like the final version.
Apparently the time issue was responsible for the two previous cuts to be a complete mess and that is just a lame excuse. This is ridiculous. To quote one of the reviewers: why it took three separate efforts to shape Alexander into its best possible presentation?
Exactly. If the movie is good it doesn't need three cuts to make it good. How lame. |
