Rose Aranda GREAT MOVIE VERY ENTERTAINING Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review John M I love Ridley Scotts work, including some recent films of his, like The Martian, All the Money in the World and The Last Duel. As for Napoleon, I went in with fairly high expectations and left disappointed, overall. As most are saying, this is an incredible technical achievement. Just like with films such as Exodus: Gods and Kings, Prometheus and Alien Covenant, Ridley Scott, gives you visual feasts for your eyes, where every frame is literally something you could place on your wall as a painting. Similarly to the aforementioned examples, the story suffers tremendously as a result. In this case, we get a series of events that only barely connect to one another, as if being read from a historical textbook. What is missing is what I considered to be the emotional connection to the characters and whats happening to them on a humanistic and relatable level. Why we should care about Napoleons exploits beyond its historical significance? I surmise that will all be answered and brought back into the picture in the four hour cut, but until then, this is what it is. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Joel B I thought that the main characters were poorly developed and never engaged the audience with their struggles. I dont think that the gratuitous sex added to the story. Events in the story seemed disjointed, rather than connected. Without the time and place subtitles, the audience would have been totally lost. I enjoyed the grand scale of the movie, in the tradition of Ben Hur and El CID. The costumes and scenery were beautiful and the battles were exciting. Overall, the acting was good but not memorable or compelling. The movie did make me think about the parallels between Napoleons time and Trump in modern time. It also made me want to learn more about Napoleon. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Noel 50 shades of napoleon… Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review Wolfgang Epic movie, a classic Ridley Scott picture. Looked fantastic, but other than the battle scenes the movie was slow moving. The characters lacked depth and I didn't love most of the casting. Joaquin Phoenix was good, but I feel like there could have been a better actor for the role. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Ben W This was just boring. Not sure how I feel about Phoenix as the lead. But nothing felt real or tangible. Meh. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
