‘Napoleon’ – Ridley Scott’s Joaquin Phoenix Epic Underwhelms | One Minute Movie Reviews
Great war sequences aside, NAPOLEON lacks much-needed dramatic power…
Great war sequences aside, NAPOLEON lacks much-needed dramatic power…
But yes, there’s still plenty here for gore fiends…
A satisfying, emotional sci-fi film, thanks to strong world-building and a focus on character.
Overfamiliarity, without the creative, unnerving payoffs to help…
Some dull mechanics and a by-the-numbers plot, but it should still be a solid enough watch for fans…
While the first two-thirds could have been stronger, this is a tender drama that culminates in an emotional, beautiful way.
Imagine Homeward Bound, but with genital jokes, sex jokes, poo jokes …
At worst, an expensive marketing endeavour. At best, a somewhat decent sports film …
A gritty action film, sprinkled with dark comedy, and nods to grindhouse/exploitation stylings that would make Quentin Tarantino proud.
Messaging in a movie? Go for it. But the messaging here is heavy-handed to the point of inertia.
