Recently watched it on AppleTV.
It was ploddingly slow. There were several references to his charisma - yet there was nothing shown that gave any evidence of that. Instead, it was uncharismatic. The visuals were good. |

Its frankly amazing just how bad this thing bombed, a Joaquin Phoenix and Ridley Scott historical epic couldn't miss, right?
The only couple of generally positive reviews I've seen are here on CP, what a massive bomb |

As far as this movie goes, in the past I'd have been chomping at the bit to see a sweeping, historical epic done by Ridley Scott. But I thought the trailers were awful. Phoenix's bland, bored expression never altered. A bad sign borne out by the overwhelmingly negative reactions. Also, **** the French. |

I streamed it. I shut it down about half way thru it. I couldn't take it anymore. I can't believe how shitty that movie was.

They ****ed this movie up big time. Phoenix and Scott historical epic movie, how could you fail?
It was so damn slow. Napoleon's life should give you enough material to make a kick ass movie. Scott made some bad choices. Could have been an epic movie. |
