    Calling Napoleon a "war criminal" is intellectually disingenuous and show the overall approach of this production. The sets and the costumes are somptuous, which is really sad given how bad and messy the script is.

      Other than that, famous director or not, I do not like to be lied at. At 2:39 Scott claims with regards to the battle of Waterloo that he was "actually reconstructing the real thing". Riiight. - They constantly talk, throughout this trailer, about how they "recreated" history. I'm not the one claiming this mere "blockbuster" has documentary value. They are. And they lie.

    See, I watched this film in the cinema with my dad. I watched it for Joaquin as he is one of my favourite actors, my dad watched it for Ridley Scott as he grew up watching his films and he always tells me how great Ridley Scott is, especially with science fiction films. However, we both left very unsatisfied and disappointed.
    BUT, I feel like the blame shouldn't only be on Ridley Scott. There's also David Scarpa who wrote the script, Claire Simpson and Sam Restivo who edited the film etc, and sure Joaquin played Napoleon and the focus was more on Vanessa's Josephine than Napoleon himself, but still, if you wanna blame someone then blame all of them and not just one person.
    But acting wise (and coming from someone who is aspiring in both acting and filmmaking), I personally believe Joaquin and Vanessa did a wonderful job with what they were working with (if the whole Ridley Scott not telling his actors the vision for their roles he had and just letting them do whatever is true), and of course so did the rest of the cast members (and please, I would LOVE to see more of Édouard Philipponnat, he was so charming and charismatic it really made me root for Alexander I at some point during the film! 😂😊🩷

Josephine was outgoing like in her portrait wearing a see thru dress made of the most expensive silk in the world.

    "How can a man who is on his way to take Moscow be obsessed with what his wife is doing back in Paris." He summarizes well here why this film has very little to do with Napoleon and why he is portraying a man who presents a fantasy figure of him or the screenwriter. "Beautiful pictures" is one thing, telling a real story is something else. Mr. Scott has failed magnificently here. I came out of the movie theater completely disillusioned, I really didn't expect that.

    Based on 'Napoleon', I'm really looking forward to Ridley Scott's upcoming film about Churchill. It departs from the usual narrative featuring much footage about him drunkenly making love with his wife, and focusing extensively on his liking for Brandy and cigars. Boring figures such as Anthony Eden, Charles de Gaulle, Stalin, Rossevelt, Atlee and Chamberlain are glossed over or not mentioned at all, and there is a nice little (but totally made up) scene of him shooting at some Zulu artifacts with his elephant gun. Boring irrelevancies such as proposing the European Court of Human Rights or leading the only major power fighting Nazism for over a year are likewise omitted. Title role played by Russel Crowe, with Cameron Diaz co-starring as Clementine Churchill. Oh, at the end, there is a subtext stating 'Churchill did and said some racist things'. Can't wait...

Not to mention that half of the cast is British and instead of the film feeling "French" it feels more like it was made from a "British POV" - think as if Nolan's Oppenheimer would be made from a Japanese director's and Japanese people's POV, that's how it feels.

    Le film "Napoléon" réalisé par Ridley Scott est présenté comme une vision subjective de l'histoire de Napoléon, mais il est difficile de ne pas ressentir une certaine partialité dans cette représentation. Malheureusement, le film semble mettre l'accent sur les aspects négatifs de la personnalité de Napoléon, plutôt que de présenter une image équilibrée et nuancée du personnage historique.
    Dès le début du film, il est évident que Ridley Scott a choisi de montrer Napoléon sous un jour négatif. Loin de refléter la grandeur et l'intelligence stratégique de l'empereur, le film le présente comme un individu sombre et sans culture. Cette représentation réductrice ne fait pas justice à la réalité historique de Napoléon.
    De plus, la scène de la bataille d'Austerlitz est particulièrement décevante. Au lieu de montrer l'ingéniosité tactique de Napoléon et le génie militaire dont il a fait preuve lors de cette bataille, le film réduit la victoire à une simple ambuscade sur un lac gelé. Cette représentation est non seulement simpliste, mais également inexacte par rapport aux événements historiques.
    Une autre scène particulièrement problématique est celle où Napoléon tire au canon sur les pyramides en Égypte. Cette représentation est totalement déconnectée de la réalité historique. En effet, Napoléon avait emmené avec lui des centaines de scientifiques et d'érudits pour étudier l'Égypte, ce qui témoigne de son intérêt et de sa volonté de préserver la culture et l'histoire de cette région.
    Il est vrai que Ridley Scott a déjà réalisé de nombreux films de qualité par le passé, mais dans le cas de "Napoléon", il semble être guidé par une jalousie viscérale envers l'histoire de France et la figure emblématique de Napoléon. Cette vision biaisée a pour conséquence de réduire l'homme le plus connu du monde après Jésus-Christ à un simple gangster usurpateur de la couronne d'empereur.
    En conclusion, le film "Napoléon" réalisé par Ridley Scott souffre de sa partialité et de sa vision déformée de l'histoire. Il ne parvient pas à rendre justice à la grandeur et à la complexité de Napoléon Bonaparte en tant que personnage historique. Il vaut mieux se tourner vers d'autres sources pour obtenir une représentation plus équilibrée de cette figure emblématique de l'histoire.

Yet he still decided to put together a Fantasy!Napoleon instead of doing some research on him, and now wonders why the first thing people yell at him is: But that's not Napoleon! - What did he expect?

    In my opinion, this movie was spectacular on so many levels. The intense battle scenes, the reconstructions of the cities and not least the costumes.
    The film is exciting and you never get bored. But there are some scenes that can get a little long-winded, especially the big focus on Josefine, which was possibly a little unnecessary.
    What we would like to have seen more of are the epic battles of Napoleon such as Ligny, Trafalgar and Marengo. In other words, since this is a filmed biography of one of the most important people in human history: they should have included more of what Napoleon actually did. The coordination before the massive battles, meetings with his Generals and not least why he actually chose to conquer Europe.
    Good film, but the representation of who Napoleon actually was and what he did is somewhat weak.

      The greatest battle of the Napoleonic era is also missing: the pivotal battle at Leipzig, the "Battle of the Nations" in 1813 - a direct consequence of Napoleon's disastrous Russian invasion, which resulted in his withdrawal from Germany and the dissolution of the "Confederation of the Rhine" after which he lacked the resources to defend his grip on power against all the great powers of Europe.
      Sigh, what a disappointing movie...
      By the way: Josephine (her real name was Marie Josephe Rose, but Napoleon created this nickname in honour of her father) de Beauharnais is an interesting historical figure in her own right and deserved a movie about her life. But Ridley Scott tried to do the impossible: he wanted to include the narrative about Napoleon AND Josephine, while covering an insane period from 1793 to 1821.
      I really hope for Spielberg's HBO project.

    Too bad all the hard work these people did was for such a terrible and historically inaccurate movie. It is clear that Ridley and Phoenix did zero research before making this film, and it shows on screen. There is so much information out there on this man and this time period and none of it shows in the movie.

      And after reading the many news articles of behind the scenes, both Ridley and David( the writer) messed up
      So many accurate scenes and important scenes were cut [ Napoleon had bad stomach problems which made him really weak at waterloo( was cut cause the writer thought it to would be too distracting) and the assassination attempt on Napoleon( presumably will be added in the director's cut) ] , all for the sake of adding scenes that didn't make sense sometimes

    Just out of curiosity i wonder what Napoleon thought of the vege burger at McDonald’s. I thought of him believe it or not and purchased two . Banged both back and gauged the wind on their success? Did napoleon try the burger i wonder? Expensive being critical of meat . For the greater population anyway. However every community has their advocates . The vegetarian community has napoleon here . I respect his devotion but ignore the example!

Historically incorrect to the point going clearly against the history. It was 60% about Josephine...why call it Napoleon.....that was disingenuous of Ridley. $200 million? Ridley and Joaquin should have at least watched the 1970 movie Waterloo. That movie had great acting and battle scenes. Ridley even made the battle's look lean. The horses acted great.

    Had all the potential and the big budget to be a classic movie but sadly Ridley Scott decided to make a movie which is more of an adventure spoof than a historical movie. It's a film funded by Apple and designed to appeal to the masses - big battle scenes for men and a love story for women - a film where if you didn't know that Napoleon's surname was Buonaparte you would probably enjoy, but for those of us who live history you will find disappointing. I rate it about a 6 out of 10

In the mean while Napoleon is compelling countries to trade with France by going to War with them if they refused. Europe finally had enough of his strong arm tactics. Sounds like the USA's diplomatic methods .

The question is why deviate so brutally from historical facts. The battle scenes are good but again lacking in facts . The encounter with Wellington on a ship with Napoleon is what exactly? Why would Napoleon charge recklessly with the cavalry? Nether happened. And the self crowning scene had Phoenix barely audible.
