Is the lesson we’ve learned here that bitter old Englishmen shouldn’t be allowed to make films about the most famous French military commander in history?
-
I used to think that this movie was a tragedy.. But now I realize it's a comedy..
-
I love how the French army always respected and followed Napoleon until their end. Those guys didn't want France to go back to the old days and Napoleon always took care of his soldiers to the greatest extent that he could.

0:49 Napoleon quoted "Oh f*ck." while falling down the stairs
-
Honestly, this scene could have passed in a batter movie. It’s a good balance of ridiculousness and history that would fit well in a movie that was actually coherent.
-
Ridley Scott made Blackhawk Down. One of the most faithful military movies of all time. Seriously it’s 1 to 1 with the book. Then makes…this. This must have been an intentional hit piece on Napoleon
-
This is giving Monty Python but with a $120 million budget 😂
-
In reality the eyewitnesses described a different scene: the deputies attempted to attack Napoleon, between him and them some grenadiers intervened who made the general reach the exit by making him pass over their heads, passing him from hand to hand, as the fans during concerts with rock stars throwing themselves from the stage. The minimum height to become a grenadier was, I think, 180cm, Napoleon was 165cm tall and then quite slim. Less spectacular scene than in the film, but that's how it is.
-
With the tons of information available about this historical event and Ridley Scott comes around and fails miserably
-
The problem with this movie is that Ridley Scott tried to fit his entire adult life into a movie. Needed to show his rise to power as a general 1799-1804. THEN the second movie would show him emperor, 1804-1815.

1:16 this film was so bad that this was funny
-
Ridley Scott should never be allowed to direct a history movie again
-
1:36 that little look he gave him when he said I’ll kill him like “What? I have to sell this, just go with it.”
-
My idol is Napoleon. I have studied Napoleon, I love his history. I don’t know what kind of mad man Ridley Scott is but Joaquin Phoenix portrayed him like a scumbag clown. Sure, after the coup, after, propaganda spread that Napoleon was stabbed or the 500 attempted to stab him, and one grenadier even got his sleeve ripped in the ordeal and received a pension. Napoleon is portrayed in this as a sad, desperate power h hungry nutter.
-
0:48 It was worth the price of admission just to see those two seconds, I remember that taking everyone off guard in the theater lol
-
Phoenix is one of the greatest actors alive. So the fact he sucks so bad in this film just shows what a terrible director Scott has become. You can give him hundreds of millions of dollars and the very best actors, and he'll still find a way to make it awful.
-
ooof that extra looking right into the lens and then shuffling back to make space for camera crew at 2:22
-
I love the "They tried to kill me!" points "They tried to kill him."
-
They should’ve made the battle of Waterloo better like the movie of war and peace.
-
I mean rather than making a speech if he just said "They tried to kill Napoleon." Those Guards would instantly go in there to bash those politicans heads open just because they 'think' about harming Napoleon :D
