Wick's Review

Created Dec 10, 2023 05:58AM PST • Edited Jan 12, 2024 08:05PM PST

  1. Quality
  2. Very Good 3.5

    A movie that fits the man who made France into a triumphant titan of the early 1800s, Napoleon meets many of the moments in an epochal life from two centuries ago. Ridley Scott knows historic drama about larger-than-life figures like few other directors, and cast well with Joaquin Phoenix as his Little Corporal.

    That said, the performances are less than great and the story strays far from historical accuracy, as noted in the Reality commentary below.

  15. Sex Erotic 2.6
  16. Violence Savage 4.0
  17. Rudeness Profane 2.6
  18. Glib 1.6

    Napoleon has come under withering criticism for historical falsehoods. For instance, Andrew Roberts’ Commentary essay Not-So-Great Scott declares that Ridley Scott’s movie is full of “invented nonsense.”

  19. Circumstantial Surreal 2.7
