Review: Sweeping, epic historical drama - Oliver Stone did an outstanding job of re-editing his original version of Alexander. This film is over three hours long, but worth every frame. We don't know much about Alexander the Great other than many cities were named after him in the ancient world, and he was one of the greatest Generals and warriors at that time in history before the common era (BCE). His battles are still studied today at military academies. His tomb was lost when Egypt fell to Rome during Cleopatra's time on the throne. Thankfully, a female archaeologist is searching for Alexander's tomb even now in Alexandria. But to the meat of this review, Colin Farrell's superb portrayal of Alexander was one of his greatest acting achievements in my humble opinion. I'm a lay historian and have seen most of the films on Alexander, as well as studied and researched his life. Farrell's performance stands out as the best and most believable. Watching the film, you can feel that Farrell took the role seriously. He makes the audience believe that he is Alexander the Great. Obviously, Director Stone used dramatic license to make the film more interesting, but he managed to include most of Alexander's known written history. The cinematography was surreal, captivating, and beautiful, especially the scenes in Babylon. The energetic battle scenes were extremely intense and graphic. The supporting cast was outstanding as well, with Anthony Hopkins, Joseph Morgan (The Originals-Klaus), Rosario Dawson, and the late Val Kilmer as King Philip Alexander's father, and Angelina Jolie as Alexander's mother, Olympias, along with Jared Leto as Hephaistion, Alexander's lifelong friend and lover, and the late great Christopher Plummer as Aristotle. I've watched the film several times and always discover previously missed easter eggs. Alexander Revisited is one of the 21st century's epic historical films. If you love history, sweeping drama, and extraordinary acting, don't miss this one. Review: EPIC - As a fan of classic epic films such as Lawrence of Arabia, Ben-Hur, El Cid, and The Ten Commandments, as well as modern epics such as The Right Stuff, Ghandi, and Braveheart, I can tell you that this film belongs among them. Epic filmmaking--that is, films that go on for 3 hours plus and tell grand, sweeping tales of colossal figures in adventurous times--requires that things be done differently from more earthbound movies, and so are to be judged with a wider scope. From beginning to end the cinematography must capture the vastness and beauty of the hero's world, in breathtaking and flawless fashion. The battle scenes must be superbly choreographed, scaled, and amassed. The music must be dramatic, sweeping, and evocative. The panoply of main characters must be in sufficient number to weave an interesting dramatic web whose threads take time to satisfactorily unravel. The overall cast must number in the thousands. The sets and costumes must be luxuriously, ornately, and authentically magnificent. The main character must be--and be rendered--riveting to watch through charismatic, if not gifted, acting. The dialogue must dramatically evoke epic times while still sounding useful. And the directing must be skilled enough to combine all of these elements in such a way that the audience is taken on the same journey the main character takes, thereby becoming utterly transported into that character's mind and world. If you think about it, Mr. Stone had a Herculean Labor here: To bring Alexander "The Great" down from the ivory pedestal he's resided upon in bust for 2300 years, into our modern times so that we might try to understand him as "The Man" inside four hours. No other figure in human history has been so guilded by legend, or obscured by such legendary true accomplishments. How does one begin to get a sense of this man--his thoughts, feelings, vulnerabilities, that secret inner life? Yes, we know what he DID. But who WAS he? This film delivers on all that. So kindly overlook the at-times overmatched acting by Colin Farrell and his youthful peers. Turn a blind eye toward the gross miscasting of Val Kilmer as Alexander's father, Phillip II. Cover your ears as Angelina Jolie snarls and claws her way through one overbearing scene after another, even as she looks every inch Alexander's mother Olympias. Bear with Alexander's old general Ptolemy, ably played as usual by Sir Anthony Hopkins, as he meanders through his own ruminations about who Alexander was in the course of narration. Lie back on the couch and breathe as Oliver Stone beats the Oedipal horse into pudding. The truth is, even those numerous flaws fail to detract from the impact of this film: To put you down on the earth as it was in Alexander's day, and experience what it might have been like to be him--in battle, in love, in friendship, in tragedy, conquering most of the known world. By the end, you will feel as if you've really KNOWN the man. That's what epic filmmaking is all about. And if it took Olie three tries to get it right, so what? What matters is that he got it RIGHT. And we get to enjoy it. (P.S.: The packaging and overall production quality are superb. Really beautiful. That it's selling for about five bucks is itself a wonder of the world.) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Christopher Kyle, Colin Farrell, Gary Stretch, Iain Smith, Jared Leto, Jon Kilik, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Laeta Kalogridis, Moritz Borman, Oliver Stone, Rosario Dawson, Thomas Schühly, Val Kilmer Contributor Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Christopher Kyle, Colin Farrell, Gary Stretch, Iain Smith, Jared Leto, Jon Kilik, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Laeta Kalogridis, Moritz Borman, Oliver Stone, Rosario Dawson, Thomas Schühly, Val Kilmer See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 316 Reviews | | Format | AC-3, Closed-captioned, Color, Director's Cut, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen Format AC-3, Closed-captioned, Color, Director's Cut, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen See more | | Genre | Action & Adventure, Documentary/History, Drama, Military & War | | Language | English | | Runtime | 3 hours and 34 minutes | ## Images ![Alexander, Revisited: The Final Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91sPi5DdCmL.jpg) ![Alexander, Revisited: The Final Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91IfxjA+3aL.jpg) ![Alexander, Revisited: The Final Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91qftSfo7FL.jpg) ![Alexander, Revisited: The Final Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91dUzY5uYzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweeping, epic historical drama *by D***D on May 19, 2025* Oliver Stone did an outstanding job of re-editing his original version of Alexander.

I think this is one of the very best, but you probably need to be somewhat knowledgeable of the historical background to truly appreciate it. Alexander is presented as a man of his time and culture rather than as a modern hero, which might be off-putting for some viewers. The film gets unusually high marks for historical accuracy and, inevitably, the story is too complex and full of paradoxes and uncertainties for nice straightforward storytelling - another negative from the standpoint of the "entertain me" moviegoer. However, it is a feast for the fan of ancient history and the sets and battle scenes are mind-bogglingly good. The acting is uneven, but Farrell pours his heart and soul into the role and deserves the highest accolades. Yes, the movie, like its subject, has numerous flaws. It is unwieldy, there are probably too many flashbacks and melodramatic moments. But there are many scenes that I will never forget - and have not forgotten since I saw the original version in the theater. I think Ptolemy said it best: (paraphrasing) "Oliver Stone's Alexander is a failure, but his failure towers over the successes of others." It is probably impossible to do justice to Alexander the Great's life in a movie, but Stone came closer than I would have thought possible. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/5529498-alexander-revisited-the-final-cut-two-disc-special-edition](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/5529498-alexander-revisited-the-final-cut-two-disc-special-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
