Napoleon
audience Reviews
, 58% Audience Score- Rating: 0.5 out of 5 starsI mean what is there to say… the movie is a perverse boring fan fiction very loosely based on history. If you’re going to make an alternate reality version at least make it entertaining. Side note, between Joker 2 and Napoleon… I have to wonder if Phoenix has lost his edge, clearly the ima different mindset than the rest of the cast in both movies’ tone
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsAnother Great War film about probably one of the greatest military minds in history
- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsWhile this is a grand and sprawling epic, it still remains rather fractured and remains a rather incomplete portrait of one of history's more interesting warmongers.
- Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsWish it was better. But I liked a lot of of it.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 starsWalked out halfway. Seemed like a weird parody of Napoleon. No character depiction or depth whatsoever.
- Rating: 0.5 out of 5 starsLeaving aside historical accuracy (which is non-existent). Dialogue - terrible. Acting - mediocre (Joaquin Phoenix seems to have given and just going through the motions) . Battle scenes - laughable. If this is the best Ridley Scott can produce he should give up and do something else. If you gave a Media Studies student the budget this the the type of rubbish you could expect.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsWhile Napoleon impresses with its breathtaking visuals, impeccable score, and stellar acting, the film's potential is undermined by a weak script and questionable historical inaccuracies. Scott's insistence on a dull love story feels misplaced and detracts from what could have been an epic masterpiece.
- Rating: 0.5 out of 5 starsVulgar, dry, with no reasons to care about any of the characters. It felt like watching a clip show of the highlights of an okay TV series about Napoleon, one with a weird script, and poor direction
- Rating: 2 out of 5 starsImpressive battle scenes and beautiful staging but what's the point? Was Napoleon an evil genius who rampaged across Europe or a brilliant leader who destroyed oppressive regimes so that a new world of freedom and opportunity could be born? This movie doesn't seem to know or care. Its main point seems to be that the most successful military leader in modern history was a surly, ambitious, combative thug who was in thrall to a woman for obscure reasons. Some of the dialogue is risible - almost like "Not tonight Josephine - I have to invade Russia tomorrow"
- Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsIt was good just not much of a big fan.
