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.
Comment on France Scoffs at an Englishman’s ‘Napoleon’

I never realized until this movie that France outright refuses to accept that they were kind of the bad guys of Europe during Napoleon’s reign. They deny any wrong doing and keep saying “he was anti monarchy though!” As if it were monarchs and not regular folk dying all over those battlefields.
Anyways it’s funny watching the French get twisted up that this movie makes them look like the bad guys, they also don’t seem to realize Ridley Scott movies are historical fiction. I’m any case, this is like Germans being mad that they were made to look like the bad guys in ww2 movies.

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.

Napoleon is the bad guy. And the English are the good guys, obviously. Napoleon’s hat looks like shit. The English are Europe’s saviours. The English are great. I hate Napoleon because French cheese is too strong for my taste.
Statements uttered by the mentally unhinged.

What are YOU on about? I was making perfectly valid points and I will add a depiction Napoleon as the Chad and Wellington as the soyjak. Try to counter that.
