    Oliver Stone

    Oliver Stone is an egomaniacal hack, and the only thing more obvious than his contempt for his audience is his tin ear for dialogue.

    Alexander was a farce, and this film is just mocked-up snuff porn with a swelling soundtrack.

    He's an example of everything that's wrong with "serious" mainstream American film.

    —No Name Given
