I was disappointed. I don't think the vast majority of viewers wanted to see the relationship struggles of one of the world's greatest conquerors. We wanted to see all the conquest that made Napoleon one of the world's greatest conquerors. Gladiator is and always will be one of my favorite movies, but wow, did Ridley Scott drop the ball with Napoleon. With that said, Napoleon is still better than 90% of what is being released nowadays because it was a good watch (doesn't have replay value though; I don't have interest in watching it again). On the positive side, there are a few (short lived) battles and the movie does a great job of bringing you into the period (wardrobe and acting are great).
