It was okay. But the entire Napoleon saga is hard to capture in just one movie. They ought to make a mini-series. Austerlitz and Borodino are covered very well by the novel War and Peace. Whilst damned ol' V. Hugo does a very good job with Waterloo.One of the best and briefest treatments of the Emperor is this two part tongue-in-cheek YouTube effort which will take you less than an hour to watch:

you might not be aware of dis but they no longer show movies in movie theaters...Good point Starmaker. Napoleon in theaters was chopped down to 2-1/2 hours. I think it is Netflix that will provide a 4 hour full cut. The Russian/Italian movie staring Rod Steiger and the Emperor still rules the Napoleon genre in my estimation.
they are just 'trailers' for Netflix and other streaming channels.
