    Not worthwhile. Majorly disappointing in every way. Usually when movies are this bad they’re good but not this time.

    Big Budget movie and epic battle scenes that tells the story of one of histories greatest leader. From his humble begining as he was a corporal, general, consul, and emperor.

    I heard of Napoleon but never really read about him. It's one interesting movie to see. Especially to learn about his life in short time. Seeing it the first time in theater after many years missing, it brings back memories. Now gotta read more just to compare this movie to.

    it was a really good movie with good action scenes but his hat reminded me of someone wearing Micky mouse ears, i chuckled a bit when a gunshot went through his hat and made a round hole.

    Unfortunately this picture misses the chance of being an epic picture like the movies of the late 50s and early 60s. Napoleon was the most brilliant of the generals on the battlefield with close to 70 verified victories. There is far too much controversy and intrigue in and off the battlefield, especially concerning his rise to power, to include in this story. I do not understand why the battle scenes were filmed with a grey filter or something similar and, at Waterloo, it was in broad daylight. The mud playing an important part of the tactical maneuvers as well. That battle alone could be 2 hours in telling as in the Dino de Laurentis film of 1970 which I actually saw at the theater. These pathetic, clueless, little creatures( the trolls), who give it one star, never even saw the movie or know anything about military history of that period and how could you possibly fall asleep during this movie is beyond me. It would have been much better to have told a segment of his life and victories then his grand defeat than attempting a full biography of his complicated, military life.

    I liked it and would see it again. The Actors and picture well put together. Very informative. Phoenix did a good job As Nopolian and Josephine also well done.🙌🙌 to both actors

    I was excited to see a film about Napoleon but found the story hard to follow and some of the sex and battle scenes a bit "over the top" but I imagine in reality it was that way so . . ??? My friend and I needed note cards to remember who each character was as it jumped around. I had basic information about Napoleon but a very thorough knowledge of the history and geographical areas was needed in order to stay up with the plot.
