Napoleon | Sony/Apple | November 22, 2023 | Joaquin Phoenix is Napoleon | Ridley Scott

WTF

 

Quote

Those worried about a glorification of the dictator needn't have feared. You won't be prepared for the way this film utterly humiliates the one-time Emperor of France.

74 with 12 for me

The Hollywood Reportee is a pan

[TheDude391]

A lot of the issues I'm reading seem to be stuff that's likely fixed by the director's cut, nothing fundamentally flawed that can't be solved.

[WittyUsername]

Since this was financed by Apple, I have to wonder why they felt the need to edit the movie down for the theatrical release. 

[Mojoguy]

Its either Napoleon or Wish for me to watch on Thanksgiving day.

 

Decisions, decisions.

[Ozymandias]

I saw 18 fresh and 4 rotten before they disappeared on refresh

[TomThomas]

Good reviews, better than I expected, it's not panned.

Stop the count. 

[Grand Cine]

It's at 82% for a average rating of 7,7/10 (22 crtics)

 

For compare :

KOTFM : 92% , 8,6/10 (A-)

Oppenheimer : 93% , 8,6/10 (A)

The Last Duel : 85% , 7,3/10 (B+)

House of Gucci : 61% , 6,2/10 (B+)

 

Good beginning but not great , now the most important is the trend to up or to down

[Gavin Feng]

I saw indiewire say it did feel like a movie taken out from 4 hours thing. I guess extended cut will be perfect.

[Firepower]

For Ridley it's a great start, critics rarely like him on release, I just hope it's better than The Last Duel and House of Gucci.

[Bob Train]

You know it's a true banger when the top-critic average score is higher than the non-top-critic average score.

[CoolioD1]

not amazing reactions but def better than I expected. reminds me of the last duel that was one some critics called surprisingly funny also.

[Gavin Feng]

I find out all british presses give 4/5-plus. Guardian has 5/5.

 

definitely not because it's a history movie of how they beat France.
