It's a great movie
If you want a romantic comedy instead of a historical epic. Nothing like the trailer made it look.

The early reviews are calling it a “Snoozefest”. How can this be? Well they DO string together all of the interesting scenes in a trailer to make a film look good. Why should it be any exception to this? It’s criticisms from what I read are it’s pacing & it’s focus on his relationship with Josephine.
shareDammit, Ridley Scott needs to either fire his editor or actually hire an editor. People had the same complaints about 'House of Gucci'.
shareI just got home from seeing it and enjoyed it quite a bit. It's 2 1/2 hours long and I was never bored once. The response from those who are negative on that film is baffling to me.
It is not the definitive cradle-to-grave biopic bit it was never meant to be. If you go into it expecting Ridley semi-fictional take on the character, with a heavy (but not overwhelming) emphasis on Napoleon's relationship with Josephine, then you should have a good time.
