Unfortunate
I waited all year for this, Ridley Scott and one of the greatest historical stories, what could possibly go wrong.
It's hard to work out what went wrong. It just didn't connect, maybe the story was too big to fit into a film, maybe some miscasting, maybe convenient circumsized versions of the battles and just a pinch of poor acting (in one or two characters).
However there were still a few elements worthy of note and it kind of covered Napoleon's entire career. I found the Josephine element interesting however I'm not sure how accurate as this is a pert of history I'm unfamiliar with.
Hopefully this is an aberration for Ridley.
