I'm sure we all expected an Epic Biographical War Drama ... and I'm even more sure we didn't expect to get a a Period RomCom.
This felt like a mini-series was cut up and mashed into a very rushed film. Its not terrible, but sadly not this amazing epic we all hoped it would be.
The colour grading is atrocious, either everything is orange or everything has like -95% saturation.
The use of natural lighting is also TERRIBLE. We're looking at silhouettes talking for most of the film, the background is beautifully lit whilst you can't even see anyone's faces in the foreground.
There's 5 battle scenes, 2 of which are cut before any battle happens, 1 is in pitch black, and the other 2 are desaturated beyond imaginable.
Napoleon is portrayed as this goofy comedy character, I was surprised he didn't sing the Loony Tunes song.
