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.
I’ve read about the praise for the battle scenes, but a noted Napoleon historian did not give it high praise for accuracy.
My husband and I took the family to see this today.
I agree; it was an excellent film.
My only criticism was that the film spent a lot of time on his relationship with Josephine and not enough time on the battles or the politics that gave rise to them.
Nonetheless, it was a solid film and did a good job compressing his life into just a few hours.
“I encourage everyone to try to see it.”
Maybe everyone who has any interest in the subject matter which wouldn’t include me.
