My review of Napoleon (⭐⭐⭐⭐🕳️)

Josephine's costumes were pretty good although the fabric choices seemed off for 2 or 3 gowns (the silhouette was still correct). The main problem was her hair. She wore it down for most of the movie. This isn't Bridgerton, it should be UP :marseyraging:

Also I watched the opening scene like 12 times. Is something wrong me? Should I leave now for WPD?

I started watching it earlier and turned off about 20 minutes in.

Did Ridley Scott forget that color exists? Why tf is it all so grey?

And I couldn't believe Phoenix as Napoleon at all.

No way I was gonna sit through 2.5 hours of that shit.

The movie isn't poorly directed, I think it felt a bit unfocused and pacing was an issue.

Ridley Scott is still a great director, but he doesn't write and literally just directs the script he's given.

I think this is what you have to keep in mind. Replace Joaquin with a competent actor, tighten up the script a bit and mention the Louisiana Purchase and you have a solid 8-9/10 movie.

I thought Joaquin was good, but the movie just meandered and focused on the least interesting things

The real problem with it isn't how long it is, but how short it is. You can't cover all that military history in one movie and shoehorn in some relationship drama on top of it. Incredibly shallow movie.

Haven't watched it and probably won't, but the entire life of Napoleon is too long to capture in one film. Could be interesting to capture one period of his life, like Downfall did for Adi

Ridley Scott is a hack. He's had lightning in a bottle a few times, Blade Runner, Alien and Gladiator, but the rest of his works are shit-tier. Guy probably huffs his own farts and is surrounded by yes men.
