When I first heard about this film being made, I eagerly awaited its release. No doubt many others did as well. What on earth has Ridley Scott done to the story of Napoleon Bonaparte? I have only seen some excerpts uploaded to KZread and read some reviews. All of these have confirmed my intent to not watch the film. Napoleon's masterpiece of strategy and tactics in defeating the Austrians and Russians at Austerlitz is reduced to the scene of some of the Allied troops trying to retreat across a frozen river, with many succumbing to French artillery fire. Something like this did happen at the end of the battle, but it wasn't the cause of the Allied defeat.The Battle of Waterloo, so well documented by so many, is turned into a farcical presentation with redoubts and trenches, none of which were used in that battle. And Napoleon did not lead a cavalry charge ever, let alone at Waterloo. He was a notoriously bad horseman, known to have fallen off various horses in various campaigns. He did apparently lead the battalions of the Middle Guard forward towards the end of the Waterloo battle, perhaps thinking of dying that way. But he was persuaded to allow Marshall Ney and others to take over direct command of that final advance. Anyhow...what a waste of time and money this film seems to have been.

Fortifications in other words. Far better than forming a square against cavalry in which they present their bayonets - not swords incidentally. Yet they leave these fortifications and come out into the open and form a square. Where they can - without any cover - be pounded by artillery before the cavalry rides over them. Which: A. They never did in the original battle. B. Would be stupid!

For several reasons using a relatively unknown actor portraying Napoleon wouldve been so much better.

There were virtually no redoubts at Waterloo due to the weather the day before, also where are the fortified farmhouses used brilliantly by Wellington to delay the French. Napoleon was by his own admission not a great rider by this stage of his life preferring to travel by coach everywhere. At Waterloo he had no tent and headquartered at Ferme du Caillou, he certainly did not charge into battle at the head of the cavalry (that was Ney) as he was suffering from terrible bouts of abdominal pain. Finally you don't march down to meet cavalry and then form square you form square where you are situated if they had redoubts these would have been used instead - Finally Wellington and Napoleon never met in person neither did they correspond by letter. I cannot believe how badly wrong they got these battles simply doing them historically correct would have looked far better no embellishment was needed - Watch the Russian version of War and Peace or the 1970s Waterloo you get a much better depiction of Napoleonic warfare this was a joke!

Initial prussian attacks were repulsed but later they brought more troops, and Napoleon didn't have enough men to oppose them and at the same time continue his methodical efforts to roll back the british line.

From all battle scene in the movies.. i see the best effect of cannon blasting trough soldiers body is in the shogun the series.. human body split in half..blood and guts mixed with the wet ground

Stanley Kubrick wanted to do a film on Napoleon in 1969 or 1971 but abandoned the idea.

Don't know why so many are critical thought it really ok

So, as a historical portrayal, this movie is epic. An epic failure that is. I could wax lyrical about the mistakes, untruths and simply made up bits. But that's pretty much already done. Of course in any film, things have to be curtailed and/or simply not portrayed at all. But at least what is portrayed should resemble what actually happened. The problem being that this portrayal will influence some of those who watch it that it is accurate. Which would be a travesty. But of course films have always taken, to varying degrees such liberties. So maybe perhaps we should look instead on this as entertainment. How does it fare by that criteria? It is watchable and some of the scenes, particularly of battles are riveting. Although the hand of CGI hovers menacing over a lot of it, so some of those rivets fail. No doubt the CGI is influenced by the ever popular super hero films that abound these days. But compare it to the scenes of the earlier "Waterloo" film and decide for yourself on that score. I know which I prefer. I think in the end, as entertainment, I'll say this film has some merit. But to those with even a modicum of knowledge of the history, it proves very frustrating. And, for me, that outweighs anything else.

They could not even get Waterloo right, i won't be watching it.

your not missing anything the battle were rubbish..

gemE a BREAK

in all the films they say that it was the British who fought, if Kutuzov had not died, then he should have commanded, the British had a mediocre army, weak ground forces, mainly the Russian army fought

I didn't know Africans fought in the British army at the battle of Waterloo????😂

Schade! Scott ist eben nicht mehr der Regisseur für die großen Filme. All die Möglichkeiten. Schade!
