[Movie] Ridley Scott’s “Napoleon”

I'm sympathetic to those of you who like and trust JP. He's very talented.

And LOL at all of us not wanting to type his first name.

 

I'm looking forward to this movie about JP France.

Spoiler

I just hope this isn't a movie about the Astros' Waterloo

 

Finally watched this, and it was alright for the time constraints, like a cliffs notes for lazy essay takers.

JP isn't a Daniel Day Lewis who can make me unsee the actor. The Brit accents for the franch confused me when the Real Brits came onscreen.

They should've casted a Frenchman or Corsican.

 

It's most excellent.

 

joaquene olajuwon killed it in this role! recommend.

 

Haven't seen the movie yet but if it gets to Amazon Prime will watch it.

 

I wanted to like this film a lot. For such an interesting person - this movie flattens his life into a not-so-interesting relationship with Josephine. His battles and tactical brilliance are reduced to a few throwaway scenes. And JP's portrayal was of a dude who's whiny a panicky. It felt like this movie had events happening to Napoleon vs him effecting events. 2/5 stars

 

The Daisey Ridley 4 hour Director's Cut will be released on HBO. So no worries.

 

Probably going to get a Directors Cut that makes the movie better, a la Kingdom of Heaven.

 

"Where's Napoleon?"
"He was being a dick."
