The movie is bad, absurdly dark (why does every movie look like they could not afford lighting (Dune and BR 2049 has the same problem), Napoleon is a cuckold who apparently is trying to conquer the world for his slutty wife’s love, the battle scenes are just thrown in and give nothing on Napoleon’s battlefield genius - hand signals to direct large armies is laughable, soldiers hiding in trenches is just silly. I suspect Scott has something against Napoleon. Watch Waterloo instead.
From what I’ve gathered it might be better named a version of Romeo an Juliet as the focus is on their relationship.

I understand that Toulon is given short shrift (and that many other significant battles are simply ignored,) but does Scott REALLY have Napoleon leading a cavalry charge??
