The movie could’ve been interesting given its subject matter, but instead it's a rambling story mixed with little plots but no common thread. The ending is just... disappointing, coming out of nowhere . Otherwise, The movie is well shot and Ralph Fiennes plays well, as usual
I'm surprised by the film's good rating. The 2 hours are long, with many small moments, the story remains quite flat, little dialogue, little music, no emotion felt except a little at the end, a lot of predictive stuff. I'm a bit puzzled by the character of the main character.
It's somewhere between a film d'auteur denouncing certain things and the script of a big American film (pandemic), which is audacious, but I found it hard to get into the movie.
But the costumes/special effects are well done.
Between fiction and history, what's the point? We don't know what we're watching at!
Ridley Scott's bias in the way he presents Napoleon and what he did...
Big cuts in the script, for exemple: we go from "would you like to become First Consul?" to his coronation as Emperor in 10 seconds without any explanation!
A big miss considering the real story and the cast
