I don’t how or when, but I am definitely going to the theater to watch this movie!! I haven’t been in a theater in years, bc I’m scared of people. Yes, believe it or not, petrified!) But I am going 🎥 😊
Ridley shouldn't be allowed to make historical and religious movies anymore. He is too lazy and yet overconfident to even do the acquired research and seek honest knowledge. Ridley is literally so conceited he'd never believe anyone would refuse his approach and methods of making up historical events, which he tends to play with on a global scale…
Forgot to add the parts where Napoleon always acted like a bratty incel around Josephine despite him leading multiple affairs throughout his life while ditching her by the wayside in the long run
He makes one of the greatest men in history look like a bitch .french defamation
a 6 out of 10. bad
The movie was shit.
Ridley Scott, you rascal, you made a mockery out of Napoleon with your rubbish film and fooled the admirers around the world of the emperor with your stupid and insipid story. You managed to reduce the greatest general amd military thinker of all time to nothing more than a man addicted to sex and fathering a male heir.
Bad movie. It's like Matrix Resurrections but with Napoleon.
You are abrit hostorian can you give a frank a fair shake ?
Just saw it. I agree with the Critic and Audience ratings of 61%.
The digital CGI used in the battle scenes is incredible. The CGI stunt doubles blend seemlessly with the live action performers.
"Eleven cameras, hundreds of men" and a lot of CGI and post VFX work which is never mentioned, and incredulously claimed to be "all real'. Hundreds of VFX artists get disrepected AGAIN by a director trying to claim everything was shot in camera.
worst movie ever made by him
would be facinating to read/veiw the story board
Napoleon himself had nothing to do with French artillerists firing upon the ice , they saw a target of opportunity and fired upon it . Hundreds, perhaps thousands perished there , the real numbers are unknown .
No trenches at Waterloo ffs
Espero que sea mejor que esa y ofrezca mas rigor historico. Aunque siendo anglosajon lo dudo…
Dan Snow = Micheal Bolton + Kenny G 😉
