French critics considered Ridley Scott’s new biopic lazy, pointless, boring, migraine-inducing, too short and historically inaccurate. And that’s just to start.
Napoleon was a villain, but he is definitely an interesting historical figure. Movie looks like it turns him into a cartoon villain. I haven’t seen it, but given ridley Scott’s recent output, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a boring, melodramatic mess.
Ridley’s theatrical epics are like “first drafts” anyway. I’ll always wait for the extended edition or Director’s Cut. They are always infinitely better. Every time.
