In spite of all the hype I thought this was a dreadful film. The battle scenes are impressive and some other scenes (such as Napoleon’s coronation as emperor) was visually stunning, but the dialogue was often wooden, cliqued frankly laughable. It was impossible to tell what the relationship between napoleon and Josephine was like, and some do the sex scenes were not much better than a carry on film. I was prepared to fore go historical accuracy in parts but thieves so it would have been helpful to have more than just a very peculiar martial relationship as the main focus of the film. Sorry this one was a dud as far as I am concerned.
