This film is simply made to try to destroy a historical, complex character, putting only the bad and accentuating it but forgetting everything that led him to be great.
It lacks a script or a common thread, the trailer comes closer than the time wasted on a film without the slightest trace of history, only the lucubrations of its director (who could have dedicated the money of this film to do something with more quality).
It is for the young audience with no knowledge of history who know nothing about Napoleon, to try to destroy the historical figure, in the same way that current movements judge without having the slightest idea of how the era worked, in which the characters are framed. And for that audience, the movie will become terribly boring. And for those who know history, the film will seem like a disgrace.
A budget splurge one might expect from Jar Jar Abrams. It sounds sad, but Ridley Scott after this movie should think about retiring.
The best are the battle scenes, of course, discounting the effect that the artillery in its effects seems more like something out of the artillery of the First World War than of the artillery of that time.
But the battle scenes don't balance a lack of script and a negative respect for the character and historical fidelity. And Josephine, it's better not to talk about it, her function in the film is to remind us that we are seeing a yellow rubbish of zero historical value.

Disney, you've tried... Seriously, but you have not succeeded, you have not put the most embarrassing female main character of what we have done for a decade. You've tried it in the Willow series, you've tried it in the Marvel series... but, the Galadriel of the rings of power is still more insufferable and villainous.
You have been trying for two decades to know how George Lucas's mind works and you are still unable not to reproduce it but even to think in its terms.
Do you think they're going to give you a prize for destroying their entire legacy?... I'm sorry to inform you that it doesn't. This movie is not worthy of being an episode of an Indiana Jones series.
And you've put the director who made this byproduct to make a Star Wars movie... in advance, DO NOT count on my money at the box office or in merchandise.
Congratulations, you have managed to make even the Crystal Skull even a good movie in comparison.
The bad lighting... The color palette, painfully insanely painful. The actors saving the "villain" that anyway, you dilute it like a sugar in the resolution and Harrinson Ford to which you insult as much as to Indiana Jones himself during the film and even at the end ... By the way, just like you did with Star Wars, again, the old characters don't feel evolved but rather reconstructed without meaning or history.
Disappointing, terribly disappointing and self-deceptive. Another nail in the coffin of canceling the Disney+ subscription forever in eternity... and you don't have many margins left...

An incredible episode within an immense season of a simply fantastic series. Optimism, human beings overcoming themselves, moral dilemmas, in everything, in each of its fibers, is Star Trek, or rather it is the spirit of Star Trek, which even the last series of that franchise has lost. And the music, some wonderful composers who are undoubtedly brilliant (what are we going to say about them that has not been said, they are simply the best especially John Debney).
