Lots of buzz about this film.
Have you seen it?
If so, thoughts?
Saw it today. Was entertained and didn't hate it. Wanted to see more of his rise to power and less of his "love" story with Josaphine.

I would like to see it....
I have read a couple of books about Napoleon and consider him the greatest warrior-statesman in history

Then do yourself a favor and don't watch it. Ridley Scott clearly thinks very little of Napoleon.

I haven’t seen it, but I’ve heard they took a lot of liberties.

Wanted to see it but heard a bad review on the c Kirk show. They said the first 30 minutes were about the revolution then the rest of the film went into the whole wife thing and every battle was like he was angry with his wife. One of the favorite biographies I read in school, so I think I’ll pass now. They said it seems to be just another slight towards powerful white men figures.

By posting it here sounds like he's looking for the perspective of those who watch politics closely, likely to find out if it is woke garbage or not.

I thought it was great. The battle scenes were awesome. I’m not sure how accurately phoenix portrays napoleon’s personality or character, but it’s an interesting take.

He would likely have avoided the fiasco at Waterloo had he not relinquished so much control to General Uncle Rico. I also like the support he gave Pedro in his campaign to become president of Spain. But hey, I don’t want to get to academic.

No. It's not woke garbage at all.
It is a classic British Propaganda disparaging portrayal of an enemy of the British Empire.
It is a lovely film to see because of the cinematography.

It's not historically accurate at all.

I find myself agreeing with this.
Sure, Napoleon was flawed, but everyone is. He accomplished far more than most. Having read on the subject, a good bit of it seemed personal rather than historical.

I would wait for the directors cut, but the above posters are correct in that it paints a very poor picture of Napoleon as a leader.

It was awful imo - I left halfway through
Posted on 12/2/23 at 9:41 pm to Wildcat1996
I saw
Sound of Freedom 10/10
Oppenheimer 8/10
Napoleon 5/10

It's hot garbage. Saw it yesterday. Completely immasculates the man whom an era is named after. Does zero justice to his battlefield prowess and ignores nearly every historical record of his manner.
My wife gave it a 6 out of 10 bit she didn't treat it as a biopic like I did.
There was maybe 15min total of battle and the rest was some kind of pseudo drama.
There are zero tits and the sex scenes are super awkward.
I hated it.

What separated him from other general's on the battlefield? I'm curious...

Nepoleon is the father of modern military organization. The structure of his military, the speed, the ability for small units to act on their own recognizance. He selected his leadership from merit and not just because you were able to buy a commission or were Duke of Fancipants.
Only after his enemies adopted some of his tactics, and he lacked the energy to move about his lines were they able to really best him.
