Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Sluggish, unsmiling, and almost as limp as the feather fans with which our heroes are gently aerated on their trip to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

rotten:
At a reported cost of $155 million, Alexander qualifies as a super-spectacle in every respect but one -- namely in its neurotic, confused and sexually ambidextrous hero.
– Andrew Sarris,

rotten:
A lunk-headed train wreck that looks like a tag sale in a 323 B.C. supermarket in old Peking.

rotten:
Though the battles have the blood-and-sinew bravado you expect from Oliver Stone, this three-hour buttnumbathon is hamstrung by a hectoring grandiosity, not new to Stone, and a nod toward caution, which is.
– Peter Travers,

rotten:
By summoning his inner classicist, [director] Stone has made an excruciating disaster for the ages.
