Napolean movie reviews?

[Frod733]

Anyone seen the movie? Is it worth seeing? Critics seem so/so on their reviews.

It was really BAD. Should have been named “Josephine” because that was what it was really all about. I nearly walked out on it.
2.5 hours and about 2o minutes total of battle scenes. I was completely disappointed with this film. Ugh

 

[Frod733]

I heard on a critic site that Ridley is going to make a 4 hour version for streaming. Maybe put in the stuff he should have with this one?

 

[Daytime Smoker]

I may be on the other side of the fence, but .. I liked it! Yeah it has a lot of Josephine related story lines. That being said, I feel it was necessary to follow that in order to understand him and his ego.

Don’t bother. If Leslie Neilson was still around, he could star in the parody of it….

Yep. Haven’t seen it yet but plan to. Here we sit on a ML forum and all we want to see are muzzle blasts, cannon fire and gore.
I will invariably go with my wife, and she’ll love the Josephine stuff.
All that indicates that it will be loved as an epic story of human struggles and will be nominated for 32 Oscars!

Used to be Oscar met the movie was great, now it’s indicative of a waste of time

It was an "OK" movie to watch during a cold afternoon. It was a little heavy on the attention paid to Josephine, but then it's a movie of Napolean's and Josephine's lives, not just his battlefield experiences (unfortunately).

But was it diverse enough?

That's all that matters.

One of the French Generals arresting members of The French Directory (the Revolutionary Government) was Haitian.

...oh and some tiddies....were there any tiddies?

No tiddies, not enough explosions, I'm outta there.

 

[Sam squanch]

If this movie was shown on an airplane, people would still walk out on it….

 

[Appowner]

Thanks guys. I was half interested in seeing this movie but now I'll save my money.

 

[Wirehair]

Two thumbs down.

Yes, Napolean was TGBQ and Josephine identity as black. Should win lots of oscar's, The View love it

You hit the nail on the head

That's how I judge a good movie , on the ***** factor. I tip the same way.

Watched a Ridley Scott interview on the film and he expressly stated this isn't a movie about battles. Its focus is on the relationship between Napoleon and Josephine. So there you go...straight from the horse's mouth. Take it for what it's worth before plunking down your money.

That's all for now. Take care and until next time...be well.

So any the battle scene trailer? And why not name it for what it’s about- Napoleon and Josephine? Cuz that wouldn’t sell

I’m put in mind of Twelve o’clock high. Very few battle scenes but the enormous stress of command and the men who had to climb aboard
I was hyped to see the movie, but reviews, not just here but across the board make me willing to wait for it to be on tv
Sounds like another great historic movie Hollywood screws up
