Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Napoleon.
“Not even a post-credits scene could save this.”

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. Napoleon knows its audience.

The script for Napoleon feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

Napoleon has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

Unpopular opinion: Napoleon is the most overrated film of the decade
Director clearly thought Napoleon was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Hot Take: Napoleon's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Honestly, Napoleon would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Napoleon?
Look, I wanted to love Napoleon. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

The cinematography in Napoleon is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Rewatched Napoleon last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
