I think most historic movies are replication; no one would expect absolute, no that is not Marie Antoinette actually getting her head cut off in the movie, no those soldiers were not actually killed in the movie. I went to the movie expecting to get a better feel of those things I had read and studied of Napoleon and the Empire period.
As far as your last statement that is a little tacky and not really appropriate, but it is revealing.

Thanks for 2 posts worth admonitions, but the movie is still a steaming POS.

Napoleon wasn’t some brooding, whiney cuck to Josephine. He never shot canons at pyramids. He wasn’t a depressive old fart, he was charismatic, in his 30s. He never charged into battle with his cavalry, he was an artillery guy.

The battle scenes were TRASH.... mobs of chaotic nonsense that showed none of the French tactics and formations - only what an ignoramous would THINK these battles looked like.

Despite $200m spent, they couldn’t even a grade-school level historian?

Sorry you’re such a huge fan, but fk your movie.
