Oliver Stone’s Alexander, released in 2004, aimed for greatness with its epic scale and historical drama but fell flat with critics and audiences. Despite its sweeping battles and a cast led by Colin Farrell and Angelina Jolie, the movie’s pacing and uneven storytelling left viewers unimpressed. While it snagged a few award nominations, including some for its score and costumes, the Oscars didn’t bite. It did, however, pick up some European film honours. Made on a hefty $155 million budget, the film struggled to conquer hearts.
