The greatest thing Napolean's army did was discover the Rosetta Stone. I'm sure it won't be part of this movie like all the others

It’s been a while but I remember the director’s cut of Kindom of Heaven actually being pretty good.

I've never seen all of Waterloo, but I remember it being one of those grand epic films that you don't see anymore. I found this on youtube, History Buffs:
I really like this guy's content. Looking forward to seeing this. I like Pheonix a lot. Honestly, unless the writing sucks this should be a great one. |

I hope his history here is better than his "history" in Kingdom of Heaven.

Phoenix is the one thing that might mess it up. Oh, and the possibility of forcing a love-story into it.
Phoenix occasionally lapses into playing Johnny Cash as some other character. And from this trailer he kinda has that gravelly growl and hangdog countenance to him. If it's Joaquim Phoenix as Johnny Cash as Napoleon, that would be quite a bummer. |

They are going to force a Napoleon/Josephine love story. It is one of the most famous historical love affairs. |

So don't let it become the central tenant of a biopic. If it's a movie about Napoleon, make it about Napoleon. Don't make it about Napoleon's relationship...oh, and there was a revolution and a couple battles and stuff... Scott's usually pretty good about not overdoing that sort of thing, but the trailer makes me wonder. |

As for this, the trailer seemed a bit off. I kind of wonder if Phoenix is the right guy for this, but he's usually awesome in whatever he does. Seems like this would be more of a Tom Cruise role, but I guess he was busy. If it gets good feedback I'll probably go see it. |
