Its so bad
But also really, really funny, albeit unintentionally (pyramids go boom boom scene melted my sides). Also love the liberal shithousery of portraying napoleon as some sort of proto-Hitler or something, but apparently a couple of advisors and the director himself are anglo and some are ex-british military so can’t say im surprised. The politics of the era are barely touched upon too even though they were such an important aspect of Napoleon’s life like ???
it’s a really weird, aimless and incredibly bland movie, about a man who was certainly none of those things. I wasn’t expecting accuracy but at least a pretty spectacle, but instead got served a 2h long sleeping pill…
Wish I would’ve torrented this thing instead of wastkng money on a pricey cinema ticket (why has the cinema become so expensive what the fuck)
Supposedly there's a four and a half hour cut coming out on some streaming service in a few months.
I'm not sure what the movies like since I haven't seen it and might not at this point, but it could be another Kingdom of Heaven situation?
isnt it already like 3 hours?
"auteur" directors stop releasing longer cuts. please trust your editor.
I don't mind some stories taking longer to tell, so long as it's good.
