Its so bad
But also really, really funny, albeit unintentionally (pyramids go boom boom scene melted my sides). Also love the liberal shithousery of portraying napoleon as some sort of proto-Hitler or something, but apparently a couple of advisors and the director himself are anglo and some are ex-british military so can’t say im surprised. The politics of the era are barely touched upon too even though they were such an important aspect of Napoleon’s life like ???
it’s a really weird, aimless and incredibly bland movie, about a man who was certainly none of those things. I wasn’t expecting accuracy but at least a pretty spectacle, but instead got served a 2h long sleeping pill…
Wish I would’ve torrented this thing instead of wastkng money on a pricey cinema ticket (why has the cinema become so expensive what the fuck)
I haven’t seen a single still of this movie where Joaquin Phoenix is wearing anything other than a contemptuous frown. Wasn’t napoleon supposed to be charismatic and funny and shit? Who would follow this dour asshole into battle
