Action & Adventure > Stone, Oliver Action & Adventure

Advantages: Costuming was good
Disadvantages: bad accents, not so good acting, a few historical errors if you look close

...personalities of all time is Alexander the Great, and so, I expect nothing but greatness from a movie that is supposed to tell his life story. I expect flawless casting, perfect acting, great props, great filming and camera shots, etc. However, if you watch the movie, you will realise that the movie Alexander was not perfect, and even if you have no clue who Alexander the Great was or know that he even existed, you'd know that it could have been ...
...have casted Colin Farrel as Alexander the Great or Jared Leto as Hephaestion. In fact, I heard a rumour once that Leonardo DiCaprio was supposed to be cast in the role as Alexander, which I think might have been better. I'm not saying that Colin Farrel and Jared Leto did an awful job with their roles. I'm only saying that they weren't impressive like I would have wanted those two characters to be. The acting could have been better too. I thought ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant James Woods, cinematography, script, the truth
Disadvantages: graphic & harrowing

...Central America in general and Salvador in particular seemed quite remote 3000 miles away in England. It's easy to make simple assumptions - "oh yes, America will deal with it and all will be well again." But that's just the abstract spin-doctor view any dodgy Government would want us, the public, to believe in. I saw this movie many years ago on the BBC during one of their political film seasons. I woudn't have really bothered but I'm a great fan ...
...great democratic countries, has an awful lot of dirty linen hidden away. Salvador is no Bleeding Heart act of Liberalism or political correctness; it offers a documentary style view of the harsh realities that happen to people when the Great and the Good betray them so badly! A masterpiece! ... Read review

Advantages: A great story and the acting is brilliant.
Disadvantages: Some stange camera angles are adopted which might annoy others.

This film was released in 1994 and instantly become one of the most controversial films on the screen at the time. The movie displays some very violent and sexual scenes. The film was orginally written by Quentin Tarantino (it was the second movie that he wrote) but he couldn't get the script on to the big screen. Some time later after Tarantino had made it with Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, a director called Oliver Stone took the script, had ...
...has a very different style of directing to Tarantino, but he does the script justice (even if Tarantino was not a fan). The film stars Woody Harrelson, as Mickey Knox, and Juliette Lewis, as Mallory Knox. The two lovers are traumatised by their childhood pasta and embark on a psychotic killing spree. The media turns them into legends and soo everyone knows who they are and they build up quite a fan base. The pair get caught and are brought to justice, ... Read review

Advantages: Colin gets naked
Disadvantages: far to many to mention!

...been told so well. Alexander was great, we know that, but this story goes no way into telling us the conquest of Egypt, the history of the man in this country- his greatest conquest - and the story of the bits in between. All it really showed was the beginning and the end... there seemed to lack a middle? Overly long and very lost! But I think that's Oliver Stone's films in general really! ... Read review

Advantages: Incredible film making.
Disadvantages: A bit wierd.

...film. There is also a brief documentary, but like the film it's a bit twisted. Natural Born Killers is many things, and a bad film isn't one of them. Not quite a family film, it's definetly worth a purchase for Tarantino fans, or anyone who can appreciate dark humour. ... Read review
