Can't wait to see it...
It could be interesting, but for the moment, I still like to watch the 2002 version from A&E.
So Riddled With Snot thinks Napoleon is more famous than Jesus. As if
Stanley Kubrick wanted to make this movie, but it never came anywhere near fruition. It probably would not have been anything like, “1814: A French Odyssey” or “Dr. Strangehat.”
I’ve never understood the whole Joaquin Phoenix thing. He’s just not my cup of tea.
And I saw a clip of the Battle of Austerlitz and it had laughable CGI, a battle that felt like a video game (if the general mutters “Charge”, the horsemen half a mile away spring into action) and it also seemed to focus on highly questionable action involving troops drowning in a frozen river thanks to well-placed artillery shots shattering the ice. The whole thing seemed like garbage to me.
Looking forward to it, Scott has made some fantastic movies. Blade Runners, The Duelists, and A Good Year are my favorites.
I’ll wait to hear from the French Legume before I go to see ot.
Watching this on Wednesday.
LOLOL. 😭
I thought the scene with the tater tots was funny. And I’m glad Pedro was elected president.
In a post-Passion of the Christ/Inglorious Basterds/Narcos era, they really should shoot films in their native language.
They spend hundreds of millions of dollars on historically accurate costumes, sets, and battle sequences, but you couldn’t get your actors French lessons for a couple of months, or hire a French-speaking cast?
A new Predator movie came out last year and it was set in the 1700s and had the Predator fighting Native Americans. The whole movie is dubbed in Comanche, and my kids and I watched the Comanche version and loved it.
Subtitles are not looked down upon even by the marginally intelligent American movie-goer anymore. Ditch this King’s English for any language other than English BS.
I expect the film to suck, and be totally inaccurate.
Absolutely. 👍
Crap! I thought it was finally the rumored Napoleon Dynamite sequel.
Hair Lip Napoleon? Going to see it too.
Some stories are best told in smaller chunks.
Napoleon- -and not Napoleon dynamite, which likely exceeds this film in excellence by 4 stars by any aspect- is portrayed in the Bill and Ted time travel flick perfectly. When the guys critique his mini model plans for battle he reaches back, knocks over all the little army guys without flinching. No facial expression. It’s him. It’s hilarious and it’s all I or anyone needs to see about Napoleon on film in my opinion
Needs more mimes.
This is the first movie I have wanted to see for entertainment in a long time. I’m still unsure if I am willing to give my money to people I know hate me and want me dead. But the real story is epic and the movie might be great. What to do?
Nothing will likely ever top 1970’s joint Italian-Soviet Movie “Waterloo,” which included 17,000 soldiers from the Soviet Red Army dressed in Napoleonic-era uniforms and trained in 1815 tactical formations. No CGI.
