      Napoleon

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Ridley Scott is intent on proving the emperor has no clothes in Napoleon, a slyly funny epic with bravura set pieces and a divided runtime that keeps it from outright conquering.

      Audience Says

      Napoleon has plenty of terrific acting -- and action -- but it struggles to present a complete picture of the man in spite of its lengthy runtime.

      Kyle Smith Wall Street Journal Mr. Phoenix's Napoleon could never have commanded so much as a squadron of the Salvation Army, and though the movie is sprinkled with a few reasonably hearty battle scenes, overall it's something like Mr. Scott's Waterloo. Dec 5, 2023 Full Review Christy Lemire Breakfast All Day I found it impressive and kind of startling at times, but I was not emotionally moved. Rated: 7/10 Dec 2, 2023 Full Review Philip De Semlyen Time Out Ridley Scott delivers a spectacular but flavourless French history lesson. Rated: 3/5 Dec 1, 2023 Full Review Tony Macklin tonymacklin.net Napoleon is a challenging epic. Rated: 6/10 Jun 15, 2024 Full Review Sarah Marrs Lainey Gossip Napoleon is the confluence of two centuries of documentation and innuendo, and how, maybe, a tyrant who led millions to their death doesn’t deserve better than to be portrayed as a weird little guy horny for his mean wife.

      Rose Aranda GREAT MOVIE VERY ENTERTAINING 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 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 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Noel 50 shades of napoleon… 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 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 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
