Legend was a great movie. I still love it. Wonderful set, wonderful music too

Love Ridley! He's a true artist, painting with light! I'd rather watch a "bad" Ridley film than almost any other director's film. His vision of Napoleon wasn't at all the impression I got off Napoleon when I studied him, but his version was still really, really interesting! Ridley has always been interested in the quiet hero who draws people in with their power, rather than the blustering speech giving strong man. It should be no surprise this is how he portrayed Napoleon!

It’s ALL ABOUT Alien, Blade Runner, and Thelma & Louise.

Napoleon was the worst movie of the entire century. Nothing can possibly be worse. It was so bad that I wanted to tear out my own eyes. I hope Ridley Scott and Mel Gibson can go butcher history in a different dimension, anywhere but here. They are so so bad at history. Disgusting.

if they let him make the film without cgi it would be alot better ?

Such a shame Napoleon was so inaccurate

What is this thing about AGE in America? You start the piece by saying he made his first film in his 40's! (as if that was old) in the industry. Gee... I thought America had learned how to deal with that "ages" ago. Look at the ages of both major contenders to be the president of the country. By doing that, the corporate TV propagates this ridiculous stereotype about age. Sad...

Ridley could have made one of the greatest historical epics in years, but instead to make a movie as though he were some miserable British aristocrat 200 years late with his anti-Napoleon character assassination propaganda.

Couldn't stand Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator, so I should have known how much I would dislike Napoleon. I wanted to like it, but couldn't. Really inaccurate as

[dimitriospoulos]

A more interesting version would've been Kubrick's. Maybe he would've mentioned he was a selected freemason who was given everything and then selected to fall.

[julierogers]

I'll be watching NAPOLEON, soon.

[Key-ydfu]

Ridley Scott is an amazing director but, his rendition of Napoleon is atrocious. The movie is so bad it's disrespectful to the military and political genius of Napoleon. It is visually spectacular but gives the impression he was forced to make it.

[toraguchitoraguchi]

Napoleon was a shoddy film made with the skill of a high school student who failed history

[mihaivlas]

One of the most superficial director of all times
