  Just watched the actual movie. If he wanted to do a movie on arguably the greatest conqueror there was. Then display his planning, cunning and execution. Show the strengthening bonds with him and his men. Show the risks of battle paying off. Show his inspiring speech to his men. This man earned his place in history. But rather… the movie was dominated by Josephine, he was belittled and shown to be weak. You never met his generals. You never felt excitement. You only saw what you’d think was a spoilt boy born into kingship. He was never portrayed as charismatic, he was never portrayed as successful. Napoleon was seen as a figure disconnected from reality that held a negative attitude rather than a beaming positive attitude of what he could accomplish. This director took on a film on Napoleon then ignored his history…why do I care about him whining to Josephine for more than half the movie? He won over 50 battles, would you like to delve into some and I’ll watch a romcom for a two hour love story? The pacing of the film is so bad you’ll end up confused as to what’s actually happening with the flashes through time. The explanations are horrid, they should’ve Atleast had a narrator so the butchery wasn’t so bad. To put it plainly friends I feel like a Prussian after the battle of austrilitz after watching that horrid, horrid movie. Please keep Hollywood away from all historical figures.

  I finally got to hone my knowledge of Napoleon from this immersive documentary.  Very well done.  Now I don’t need to do that anymore.  On to the French Revolution.

  I just watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Their portrayal of Napoleon was spot on. 👌

  History hasn't happened until Dan Snow has done a YouTube intro for it. After that, it is canon.

  How can you have Napoleon without his humor and compassion and arrogance and skill and tallyrand, fouche, Callincourt , the greedy sisters, the incompetent brothers, the marshals, the revolutionaries, the terror , his years dreaming of being a liberator for Corsica, paoli’s rejection, Nelson, his brilliant efforts as an administrator including his work on the code, the admiration even his critics felt and the betrayal his admirers did.

  Just returning from Corsica visiting and they don't have fond memories of Napoleon, Joséphine never gave him an heir but his Polish wife did, they named him Alexandre! Love from Montreal!

  J. David Markham looks exactly like the kind of guy that would be the spokesman for the International Napoleon Society

  Ridley Scott simply did not do Napoleon justice, maybe because he’s British and wanted to portray him in a bad light. Such a missed opportunity.
