The disappointment is amplified because Oliver Stone is capable of making well-constructed films, therefore he's held to a higher standard of review.

The battle scenes were ok, nothing to write home about.
And casting Angelina Jolie was a terrible choice. Screetch from Saved by the Bell would have done a better job as far as acting.

From the imdb.com:

Director Oliver Stone will release a third version of his Alexander epic in a bid to win over critics who originally mauled the movie. The Platoon filmmaker insists the cinematic version of Alexander was hampered by time constraints after being slashed to 168 minutes in length. Stone originally wanted to release the movie in its original three-hour form but concerned studio bosses forced him to axe scenes containing homosexual content. The new DVD-only release will be a staggering three hours and 40 minutes in length, and will feature footage edited out of the original cut. Stone says, "This thing has haunted me. By truncating it into three hours, we lost things that were important. This version allows you to immerse yourself in the classical world."

has taken Internet gossip and included it in the story as being fact. What
poor ass journalism! We won't know until the DVD is reviewed a year from now
to know what sort of content was added. I think it's simply going to be scenes
that fill in some holes in the plot between supporting characters around
Alexander.
