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

[Sckathian]

Better than I expect but also sounds like what most expected - too much story in too little time.

[Firepower]

3.5 is too much, but 2.5 is not enough. People are never happy.

[SaltyPistola]

David ehrlich gotta be one of the most annoying film twitter-brain critics of all time. Can't stand his reviews. 

[ThomasNicole]

72 on MC with 18 reviews 

 

honestly it’s pretty good, and many of reviews are saying the 4-hour cut should solve a lot of things 

 

Seems like a win for mr Ripley

[TomThomas]

83%

Seems not too  bad so far.  Oppenheimer and Killers not sweating in the Oscar race for sure. But so far it sounds likes on the mixed leaning towards positive  hit side when it comes to Sir Ridley in his hit and miss career. 

[Mojoguy]

So we are getting a gutted version of Napoleon in theaters? Will this cut of the movie even be good or understandable? This really brought down the hype for the movie for for me.

[Ozymandias]

 

Some of these reviews are really, really good.  Guardian was a 5/5.

 

Really gonna lmao if this surprises at the BO and beats Captain Marvel.  An old school, bloody historical epic beating an MCU film in 2023...imagine that.

I was certain this would be a butchered theatrical cut because Scott kept going out of his way to talk about how much he had to cut and to hear it's great makes this feel even more disappointing haha. Still seeing it in IMAX but worried I'll be thinking about the incredible 4 hour cut the whole time

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

I guess this won’t be serious oscar contender after all outside of some technical stuff.

 

also Ridley scott has been doing some unexpected funny stuff to his film. The martian also got some “unexpectedly funny” kind of comment when the movie first got released.

Reviews seem fine/good by Ridley standards, but I don’t think that’s enough for a breakout and big Oscar chances. Needed exceptional reception 

[Borobudur]

As long as it is certified fresh, this is pulling some serious segment of the casual moviegoers.

I fail to see why people think this. Ridley has honestly never hit with a movie like this with the GA, and the times he’s hit at all this century are Denzel’s usual box office pull + The Martian. 

[Gavin Feng]

Sony/Apple definitely have to adjust their marketing strategy if this is that funny

This movie WILL be a hit. It’s the only movie i’ve seen any grown adult talk about so i think it might bring in tnay crowd

We don't know audience reception yet, Gladiator critics RT is in 70s and metacritic in 60s, it means nothing until audience is judge.

That’s irrelevant though because if todays critics reviewed Gladiator it would probably be hailed as the rebirth of cinema with a 9.0 RT average or something.
