 Napoleon Bonaparte has a movie about him, directed by Ridley Scott. But is this a film you should rush out and see in theaters? Or is your time better spent watching on streaming? Or even better yet? Not at all. Movie is two and a half hours long. If you've been on this channel for a while, you know that time is of the essence for me. I don't like films that overstay their welcome. That said, Napoleon, not a bad flick. Let's get that out of the way right away. If you're going for the historical aspect, I'm not so sure this is the movie for you. I found myself questioning a lot of things. Like really, was Napoleon blowing up pyramids? Visually, this is a good looking movie. It's really Scott. This guy knows his way around the camera. There's nothing patriot levels of excellent though. I never found the spectacle to be Mel Gibson running with an American flag and stabbing it through a villain. Levels of cool. It's just a very well made, competently acted, competently ridden, you know, piece of history kind of. It's a weird movie.
