Bisrat Genene

The movie, from its trailers, hoped to be an engaging and interesting account of the life of Napoleon. But it turned out to be neither engaging nor interesting. The movie showed no side of Napoleon outside the general conception. The character development was bad and the movie showed no detailed side of Napoleon (relationship with his mother, his ego, his detailed strategies, his ambition, his obsession with the Greco-Roman empire, nothing). The movie lacked a valuable point. It neither had an indifferent account of Napoleon or the French Revolution nor glorified him nor showed him as a villain.
