Big disappointment. Other than a few battle scenes, the movie primarily focuses on Napolean and Josephine. There is no mention of Napoleon's war and battle tactics, his contributions to society through reforms and religion, and very little of his conquests. He is portrayed as a weak man and a fool. You would never know he was regarded as one of the greatest war commanders and strategists. In addition, Joaquin Phoenix gives, what I consider, his worst performance ever. It appeared that he was portraying Napolean in a comedy that is set in the 1980's. Overall, a very disappointing effort from a great director and leading actor.

Nothing happens, no story or character development. I kept waiting for the climax of the story but there isn't one. It seems like you read the same 20 pages over and over again. Near the end of the book I found myself skimming through several pages at a time. I'm unsure how this book received any awards or was considered a best seller. The only thing that kept me reading to the end was I was hoping that the author would provide some context to the story. It didn't happen. I am very confused how this was made into a movie. I feel cheated.
