Ridley Scott is still cranking them out at 85 and that is truly something.

[Macho MAGA Man]

It was an excellent movie. I encourage everyone to try to see it. The battle scenes are epic. The only CGI in the movie are the visible cannon balls. Scott hired thousands of extras.

This movie is very very shocking.... in that they did not find a black person to play napoleon.

Napoleon saying “OK”?

My grandfather was named Napoleon.
My father in law was named Lafayette.
Yeah ... we are an odd crew for down here in the old south.

I’m a huge Ridley Scott fan, especially The Duelists and Bladerunner. He did get a bit sidetracked with CGI for a while, but still one of the greatest visual film makers.

Oddly, the soundtrack does not contain Eroica.

[Maris Crane]

I love Ridley Scott and I have great interest in the French Revolution and Napoleon, BUT

IF THEY HAVE TO KILL A HORSE AT THE START OF THE FILM, LIKE ANOTHER POPULAR SERIES, I HAVE NEITHER TIME NOR INTEREST IN IT.

Ridley, you disappoint me. Even if what happened was true...it is just too barbaric to depict.

I know, I know...this is real life...grow up.

Some things I just cannot take.

Was Bonaparte’s Retreat a part of the soundtrack? Grin

Napoleon’s last request was, “I’ll have a short bier.”

[leaning conservative]

I agree. I had no idea he was that old.

"In the dead of night, as Napoleon leads the advance, a cannonball tears through the shoulder of his horse – the film earns its 15 certificate fast..."

What does "the film earns its 15 certificate fast" mean?

[Squawk 8888]

They had movies in Napoleon’s time? I must’ve slept through nearly a century of History class.

Read later. I like Juaquin Phoenix.

[wardaddy]

Napoleon quasi scholar here as are my boys

We are gonna wait for the fervor to wane and go to an imax

Ridley like Mike Mann can damn well make this type movie

The sorta original with Steiger as napoleon and Plummer as Wellie was damn good too

[Angelino97]

Phoenix’s undisguised soft Californian accent is one of a number of details that might irk historical sticklers

Some critics speculate that that's intentional. Phoenix's accent differs from the other actors, in the same way that Napoleon's Corsican accent must have sounded different to the Parisians.

If yahoo says it sucks it is probably good

Great movie, it is a movie and not a direct historical drama, I have studied Napoleon and the wars and historically close enough for telling the story of this historic character. Not a big fan of Joaquin but thought he did well in this one. Ridley Scott, congrats on the project. Go see it on the big screen.

[Fzob]

It was a well done fun movie to watch. Not Phoniex’s best performance but very enjoyable. Definitely worth the price of admission.

It was Clint who made a movie at 86 or maybe 87, who taught us.......Don’t let the old man in
