If you think you're lonely now, ohhh girl...
Ridley Scott used to be my favorite director. I still think he’s top five all time because he was so versatile in his prime. He could do any genre at a high level with fantastic story telling motifs. However, this motafukka has lost it. Dude made a Napoleon movie and it’s mostly about his wife being a thot :gucci:?

There’s no real development of Napoleon’s military genius :dahell: . This man wasted fukking Joaquin Phoenix :wow:. This needed to be like an 8 hour mini-series on Apple TV to really flesh things out.

Finally saw it... movie was ok but it was fukked from the get go.
You cant sum this mans life in 2 hours, especially if you spent half that time focused on his wife.

They kept jumping from one event to another, it was weird
I will watch the 4 hour cut.
This should have been a series and in french.

Thought it was alright for what it was.

Guess he wanted a more original approach with the wife angle as with The Emperor we could've got 6 hours of battles.

Joaquin did a great job though...
