Teh guy who plays him is too tall

Should've been Danny DeVito. Lol

Napolean was 5'6"
joaquin phoenix is 5'8"

When it gets posted that he was 5'2" that was with the French inch (pounce) which is slightly longer than the imperial inch.


Not that much difference. In fact he was slightly taller than the avg french man at the time.

This is gonna be bad ass, Phoenix is a Daniel Day Lewis-type talent

BWillie just continuing his multi-year losing streak around here

This looks very very good. Sometimes that is the kiss of death with trailers, but doubtful with this actor.

Its a Napoleon complex joke, man

Danny DeVito would make the perfect Benjamin Franklin

This looks damn good. Great director and lead. Looks like they spend the money to pull this off/ I'll go see it at the movies.

Interested to see what people think when they go see it. Looks good to me and I want to go see it, but early critics aren't impressed. Wondering if the wait for the 4-hour director's edition after theaters will be worth the wait?

Dad's a history buff and loved it.

I haven't been to a movie theater in at least five years, but my wife and I both thought this looks very interesting. We've got a date scheduled to see it at the theater.

Uh-oh. My wife just reported negative reviews of this movie in both the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.

Finally got around to this one. It was not very good at all.

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

Total snooze fest.

With a decent editor, it could have been better.

How do you make Napoleon boring?

You make him Josephine's simp and have that be the focus of the movie....

I watched it last night, and kept checking to see how soon it would be over.

Figures. Gotta love woke Hollywood. Behind every great man is a woman who either (a) actively conspires against him, or (b) has his balls in her purse. Is "purse" still an acceptable word, or should I call it a "utilitarian handbag"? I'd hate to offend anyone.

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.

{sigh}

Haha that’s remarkably accurate. Guessing you didn’t see it?

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.

Couldn’t hold my attention

*content spending the rest of the month watching future entry level employees chuck up bricks for their school of choice

Not a bad film. I watched it not long ago
