MUCH Better MovieReview created: 05/08/07

This, a true Director's Cut, delves deeper into the intricacies and internal politics, reveals an Alexander who was at once visionary and egotist. We see the politics and intrigues of the court, realize that even though he was Alexander, his was not an absolute power within his own ranks and people.
The relationship between Alexander and his male lover is clearer, but still seems to have been down-played. Since Colin Farrell has never run from homo-erotic scenes before (and does not do so in this film either,) I'm left to think that Jared Leto was the weak link that makes their relationship, a love that was to have spanned decades, markedly less credible. The lines are well delivered, but in a time and place when homosexuality was commonplace, to see the two embrace tightly without once having their lips meet seems a bit contrived. Owing to that Alexander proclaims that his lover is also widely known to be Alexander, (a historical fact) it's more than a bit tiring to see the two of them act more like uncomfortable friends when alone together.
Colin Farrell is outstanding throughout, as is the entire cast (including Leto, except as above noted.) This is an engrossing account of the greatest warrior king in the history of man. The intermission is a very nice touch, and Oliver Stone should be commended for this labor of love.

The rearrangement of the movie makes more sense - this is the way it should have been shown in the first place! Decided to buy this title because I loved the movie, I dont care what anyone else thought - to me it was great and this longer version is excellent.
