My main issue with Ridley Scott as a director is that he seems to care far more about the design and visual style of a film than he does about it's plot and characters. Yep. This film looks wonderful and the staging of it's many battles are magnificent. I think I left this film knowing less about Napoleon than I did going in.

just wtf. No focus. Eg. Robespierre, Talleyrand, Coulaincourt, some bloke named Francis. Don't know who they are? Too bad, no time to go into it. Don't know why Napoleon's in Egypt? Fighting Russians in Austerlitz? Marrying a young Austrian whose first mention was three seconds ago? Too bad. Do you have any idea why he was important? Successful? Controversial? Too bad. No time. Also depressingly inaccurate. Eg. He was young and Josephine was 6 years older. “I miss you guys” piss off

It's well shot, certainly. I can see it getting technical prizes at the Oscars (costume design certainly). But the drama veers between lacking and risible, despite Kirby and Phoenix's efforts. The battle scenes do have a good audio-visual heft, but the accuracy is abysmal. Waterloo feels like 10 minutes of begrudged screen time, rushed and compressed to a farcical degree. My biggest complaint is that we never get under the skin of the man, which makes this a sad waste of time and talent.

Extremely good movie about a complete little freak loser and his weird psycho wife that gets slightly less good whenever that damn history gets in the way. Excellent battle scenes too tbh. Looking forward to the director’s cut as the second half especially feels like it’s really missing a lot of stuff.

i don't really know what the point of this was. most of the interesting aspects of napoleon are either the briefest of scenes, at most alluded to, or outright outlooked. i didn't find it as outright unsympathetic as some had suggested but it clearly doesn't want to acknowledge the clearly remarkable aspects of the man. what ridley scott finds interesting about napoleon is a total mystery to me. some good looking scenes and nice to see the napoleon era on film, but mostly unremarkable.

Remember, folks, even the biggest people in history are just small insecure boys whose entire arc is about their personal relationships. I'm not necessarily saying that's not true. But surely a 150 minute epic should have *something* more to say about it. Everything here, all the truly impressive battle shots, all those millions of dead Scott reminds us of in the end, all the Blackadder-style parodies of everyone else, only ever serves the purpose of Napoleon. Complex it ain't, but it has.

Wildly disappointing. There is shockingly little time spent on the battlefield, and even those scenes just hint at the military strategy that Napoleon is famous for. It really focuses on his relationship with Josephine, but none of that is especially interesting. And the movie feels like it just goes from scene to scene without much connective tissue or narrative momentum.

With 2.5 hours, by my calculations the movie is almost 5 times too short for what it's trying to depict. This results in the "Wiki Kids: The Movie"-syndrome. Symptoms of this syndrome are that there's no context, character motives, narrative themes. It's just checking off the main battles and they look bland and uninspired. Any GoT battle scene is more engaging. The music is surprisingly bad and unfitting. There are some mildly funny Phoenix moments but i'm not sure if they are intended so

If you're at all interested in seeing this movie then please do so in theaters. It is shot extremely well and the costumes are gorgeous. Some of the battle scenes (especially Austerlitz) are phenomenal. The staging/blocking, cinematography, and editing are all exquisite. Unfortunately everything in between is just kind of meh. I don't know if it's how it was written or Phoenix's performance but Napoleon comes off like an oversexed petulant brat (and I'm usually a fan of his).

I guess this is a hot take as 100% of movie reviewers I watch on YouTube hated this, but I liked it pretty well! (Two key notes: I have only seen the director’s cut & I don’t care about historical accuracy in any movie.) Big huge scope historical epic, looked great in cinematography, sets, vistas, costumes, effects; some cool battles, even a couple funny parts. Don’t see what I’m supposed to be upset about - at least beyond Vanessa Kirby having like ten sex scenes and never showing her tits.

Ridley Scott's attempt to make "Barry Lyndon" or Eisenstein's Alexander Nevski "Battle on the ice", or Bondartsuk's "War and Peace" battle of borodino. This just reminds me of those superior films. Napoleon was a charismatic ladies man, superior military strategist and put forth several changes to french legal code. Phoenix plays him as a petulant child who has mommy issues which he brings to his relationship with Josephine. His breathy acting was annoying. Vanessa Kirby was great !

As with many Ridley Scott film, the attention to detail is impressive and there are some incredibly engaging battle sequences and recreations of post-Revolution Paris that are amazing. My main issue is all the plot and character development are so underbaked, that it feels like a "greatest hits of Napoleon" film. Even though Phoenix is commanding and engaging as always, the eras of Napoleon's life go by so quickly and some transitions feel so abrupt that it all is ultimately underwhelming.

Napoleon is egotistical & humourless; he won a bunch of battles, made emperor, suffered losses in Russia, got exiled, returned, Waterloo, got exiled again, the end... I've saved you 2.5 hours. Scott's direction is frantic but lacks a sense of scale or time so the film feels shallow. Phoenix's performance is middling & there's too much mewling Kirby. Scott & Scarpa don't seem to have anything meaningful to say, with too many moments teetering on the edge of comedy but never leaning into it.

It's nice to see an historical epic on the big screen again, but it was more than useful having a Napoleon scholar in the next chair over feeding me pieces of context. As far as the battle scenes, I had hoped it would have aligned more closely with Napoleon's POV, for more of an in-depth look into his famed tactics. Geo-politics were mostly glossed over, as was the critical role of logistics, and instead we got far too much Joséphine. The 4 hour directors cut is surely a more complete film.

A boring, strange, oddly paced movie. I'd understand this movie better if Ridley Scott was a lot older, because it honestly felt like he had been personally insulted by the man, and now set out to get back at him. It's almost a comedy, except that it's not really funny.

Looked visually beautiful, but some very questionable choices. While Napoleon is a piece of shit mass murderer due to his oversized hubris, and the movie actually showed that for once, it weirdly focuses more on him being a cuck. And making Josephine his moral compass is a strange choice if you're not going to portray her as the Martinique-born colonial piece of shit she was who insisted to get slavery brought back and despised common folk. I'm just getting started, will stop the rant here.

The film goes out of its way to avoid discussing Napoleons military conquest of most of Europe. Focusing on his personal life could a fresh an interesting take. However, the writers it failed . The (soon to be) members of the Congress of Vienna are central characters in the story. However, Napoleons relationship with each of them, as well as their mutual interests and conflicts are not discussed. The result is a film where central characters motivations are opaque, and arbitrary.

To Ridley’s credit, he is one of the best when it comes to artistic gravitas & flair. He captures the "event" movie esthetic to his films and that itself is enough for me to watch anything he does. However, he seems out of touch with his story elements these days. Ridley’s decision to indulge into silly metaphors and not based human history is dumbfounding with so much potential sitting there narratively. Napoleon is a frustrating movie despite how visceral it shows it can be. Ridley missed.

My score skews higher since I love the Napoleonic Wars, but this is not good at any particular thing. Should have cut the battle budget (it all looks grey anyway) and made a film about Napoleon and Josephine. There's no continuity between scenes, no plot, no important side characters. At best, Scott goes for a lot of flashy scenes. Phoenix phones it in without Napoleon's charisma. Good sound design. Fav scenes: unexpected exploding horse; coronation (but the gutter line delivery sucked)

I've seen a lot of criticism of this depiction of Napoleon, and feel that some satire and humour is being missed. It's clearly a very critical movie, taking great care to show off the awkward hilarity that is Phoenix's Napoleon. From his ridiculous flight from an angry mob following his coup, to him propping up a little box to inspect a sarcophagus. I think the lack of social grace, in such an otherwise revered man, was the filmmakers' purposeful display of a flawed character. Not a mistake.

Full disclosure: it took us three nights to get through the Director's Cut. Phoenix and Kirby give powerful performances, but the lack of focus on story and flow are difficult to understand from a viewer's perspective; it felt like it was trying to be Barry Lyndon without the character development. However, it looks gorgeous, the battle scenes are impressive, and I particularly enjoyed Rupert Everett as the Duke of Edinburgh... sorry, Wellington.

On one hand I enjoyed this from a visual, cinematography point of view - its pretty stunning at times, with long battle scenes vividly recreated and some quite swanky settings, its visually a good watch. The main character is shown to have his weaknesses, although he's also shown to be someone (unsurprisingly) you wouldn't want to mess with. I found it a bit difficult to feel especially sorry for him, given what happens at times. Its worth seeing for the cinematography and the cast though, def.

I learned a few things about Napoleon in this movie that I had not learned from other Napoleon movies. The acting was good, but the real life character was not always satisfying. His campaigns were not explored in great detail, but rather skimmed and glossed over. With his biggest defeats told in retrospect, except for his last disastrous battle. Worth watching but you have to be in the mood for a history lesson.

Not really much to say that hasn’t been said. Beautifully shot, excellent battle scenes (accuracy aside), good performances, and Oscar worth costumes and production design. It’s just so unfortunate that it focuses on all the wrong things. Wanna know more about Napoleon? How about an hour of drama with his wife instead? I’m really curious what was shot for the 4 hour cut, as surely there were things that could’ve made the cut over some of the many scenes of Napoleon wanting a kid.

Can you imagine if Stanley Kubrick saw this fucking thing? The film is typical for Scott these days -- not the best action scenes (or worst), an only slightly engaging bunch of characters, whose fine actors elevate the unsubstantial material, and although the in-camera production is all quite extraordinary, it's behind a whole lot of horrid color grading, which reduces the blockbuster potential in this to murky muck. The film's images are either yellow or blue.

Flat, static epic feels like Scott is revisiting his GLADIATOR period, as he attempts to contrast the tactics and savagery of Napoleon’s battles with the tactics and savagery of his domestic life – but because there is absolutely no heat or spark between Phoenix and an oddly wan Kirby, it makes the moments between the battles tedious. Phoenix never really seems to come to grips with this larger-than-life (heh) character, though Scott proves he still has a terrific director’s eye for composition.

The movie drifts from scene to scene, with little reason or coherence. It tries to touch on a little bit of everything, leaving things overstuffed. The cruel, dark humor isn't earned. And it always comes back to Josephine, despite the flimsy connection that Napoleon has with her. Maybe there is more to their story, something deeper, but the movie never finds it. And maybe that's the point, as the movie zeroes in on Napoleon's nature. It's a big, grand mess with little to care about.

As a lover of history i was excited for this film.

He was a military ruler and innovator and we never saw any of his marshals,NCO systems,tactics or living off land.Yes he was the first Dictator/Hitler,and it is shown.The film did well showing personality but it was like he flicked through a book and picked some bits he liked

Hmm it’s like this guy has some kind of complex driven by insecurity and the need to win even the most petty conflicts. This movie is a fabulous freak when it comes to Napoleon’s domestic life; the big battles, while impressive, almost feel superfluous. And sometimes it can't help but feel like Scott, an Englishman, taking delight in needling the French. As an American, I'll gladly take that European beef (wellington?) over more hagiography.

A big screen full on sound kind of movie and I love Phoenix’s interpretations of everything he does-this felt like it lacked insight and it spent too much time on battle scenes!

What it lacks in narrative arc, it makes up for in grandeur and hilarity. Intentional or not, Napoleon was one of the funniest movies I've seen all year. Phoenix's Napoleon is a petulant, deranged, horny little freak but captivating in his performance. Great battle scenes as well, but the movie can't blend the military and domestic strands of its movie which leaves it scrambling to tie the pieces together upon his 2nd exile. Very entertaining, but uneven

This will undoubtedly be frustrating to some as it does keep you at arm's length to its characters. So much ground has to be covered that even two-and-a-half hours is made to feel narratively brisk, and as a result there isn't a ton of time to really sit with individual characters (even primary ones). Ridley Scott nails the scale of these historical epics. As a history kid, I loved the way that certain military tactics - Scorched Earth, for instance - were represented. Fascinating, albeit jumpy.

Quite enjoyed this one. I’m not French but my country mentions Bonaparte in our national anthem so it was very cool to see historical facts which I forgot from school.

Better than I thought it would be. Might be long for some but I thought it flowed well and was fine.

I understand Scott idea of not making historical facts get in the way of a good story. But the problem here is that Napoleon was a far more interesting character than the one he is depicting. An underdog shattering the world order and building a new one, not just a power-hungry guy. But nope, just buy into the british propaganda. Of all the things he decides to focus on Josephine, why? Not even the battles redeem this: inaccurate, needlessly color saturated. Maybe the extended cut will save it.
