His 1972 work on Alexander is pretty much regarded as the standard.

It has been slated by the critics both sides of the pond. Funniest comment I read was ' the only highlights of this film are the ones in Colin Farrels hair'
However, I will make my own mind up, as the critics have also slated many great films in the past (Star Wars particularly).

Read an article at the weekend in my local chinese. Absolute pasting and favorite comment "And apart from anything else, why has Stone seen fit to give everyone Irish accents"
Article was a full 2 page mauling. I'll watch it anyway becuase I'll watch most films just amusing that the critic couldn't fit his disgust of the film into one page.

Saw a copy the other week and I loved it! As an Alexander fan(historically), I thought they portrayed him as homosexual correctly so! He was so driven by power and domination of the world, he didn't connect with women sexually. Although he should have been shown slightly more ruthless, after all, he never took prisoners!
