NAPOLEON - Extended Preview 

“Never interrupted your enemy when he is making a mistake”

Please release 4 hour cut

The shot at 1:16 is the best in the film. Goosebumps!

32 years old Josephine was married with 26 years old Napoleon in March, 9,1796 6 years YOUNGER than her 49 years old Joaquín and 35 years old Vanessa 14 years OLDER than her

Seems like the film made an exaggerated depiction of Austerlitz as portrayed in Napoleon: Total War, and fast forwarded to the battle's ending.

This scene in IMAX was outstanding

No build up to any scene, no attachment to anything, it’s just so messy and rushing from one moment to the other with no emotion bond to characters The battlefields were miles long with 100 of thousands of troops here it seems like it’s 500 men against 500 Austerlitz was a masterpiece and Scott managed to make it look like a normal trap.. And most importantly all the best moments of his career are left out… We don’t have any build up to any scenes or battles which makes it impossible to understand what is at stake or any emotions because we have no build up. The music is not emersive or emotional, Even the love story between Napoleon and Josephine is so blend… one scene they meet, the next he is obsessed in love with her and we don’t know how that happened. There is no connection with any scenes The example of all this that describes the whole movie you go from a meeting between Russian emperor and Napoleon being friends to next scene Napoleon invading Russia you don’t know why or how it happened, to next scene Napoleon capitulating… when in between there was so much happening it got me terribly frustrated it feels like a Wikipedia resume… For half an hour you ask yourself if Napoleon is just stupid, no charisma nothing when we know he was filled with charisma then they show Napoleon is just bad at sex and love The one good thing are the costumes and the color and image of this movie you really feel in the 19th century I will end with my thought on what should have been done It should have been done in a trilogy to take time to explain Doing an entry like in gladiator explaining what happened before and start in his Italy campaign in 1796 which is incredible and no mention of it here… that really frustrated me. Also using some epic music and not the none emotion music we had … maybe Hans Zimmer?? Ending the movie with Napoleon’s coronation Second movie : First scene starting with the trap for the surrounding of Mack’s army by Napoleon and capture of 70.000 men wjth nearly no shots fired To then The Russians learning about it and being shocked with some epic music and then the build up and preparation to the battle of Austerlitz which was as Napoleon described the best night of his life before the battle where all the soldiers lit torches 🔥 and yelled Vive l’empereur as he walked through the camp then following all the epic battles from Jena, Eylau, Friedland to Wagram And then end with invasion of Russia and leaving us with Napoleon having to take the decision to retreat from Moscow Third movie : his downfall starting Explaining the retreat of Russia and the political situation (we all know about it no need to spend long on the thing everyone knows about) But starting with the war of the 6th coalition and the campaign which was long and with a highlight of the battle of the nations (Leipzig) AND MOST IMPORTANTLY seeing the campaign to defend France in 1814 which made Napoleon enter even more in the legend defending france with 50.000 men against 600.000 and doing things people would have been more than amazed with And finishing with a much more epic battle of Waterloo it felt like there was 1000 men on the battlefield when there was 100.000 on each side and end the movie with the defeat at Waterloo Finishing, explaining how Napoleon ended his life And no scenes with the Imperial guard 💂‍♀️ you can no tell a story on Napoleon without talking about the famous Imperial guard 💂‍♀️ The most iconic troop in history which pissed me off even more Now conclusion : I am waiting for Spielberg’s HBO series on Napoleon more than ever now. What a disappointment.. I never thought a movie on Napoleon would make me feel so empty and bored …

Is it really that difficult to hire historical advisors Ridley Scott? This was horrifying to watch, people should see the potential of sticking to the historical sources. Watching films such as Waterloo and War and Peace you catch a real glimpse into the absurd scale battles of the Napoleonic age got to. Honestly, a film focusing entirely on one battle would be ideal; just imagine the brutality of the Battle of Eylau, for example.

I was a Ridley Scott fan at one point in my life... hard to remember that time.

Waterloo 1970 is free to watch here on RU-vid fyi. It is a much more accurate, faithful, and focused representation of Napoleon's last battle than this jumbled mess.

I seriously don't know why they couldn't just stick to the actual history of this battle. It's like Ridley Scott wanted to do Eylau, couldn't figure out how to incorporate it into the script, and so decided to set Austerlitz in a snow storm when in reality the battle was fought underneath a bright blue sky.

I agree. Release the four hour version of this film.

This is like watching glimpses of the real thing. Napoleon enticed his enemies to take a position and through concealment baited them into breaking their line to attack his right. The importance of the high ground in Austerlitz is that it was initially occupied by the enemy but when the French took it the enemy line was split and open them to defeat in detail. The images here are just glimpses of the real thing.

At this point a battle from Game of thrones would’ve been more accurate

The movie is a mess, but the only thing that just drives me crazy is the sound of artillery fire. Simply amazing! 7:48

Love this extended scene

This scene is like the resume you submit for a job vs your actual experience (real Austerlitz)

Napoleon: IT'S OVER FRANCIS I have the high ground.

We watched this on theaters… and it’s quite immersive!❤

If you turn your brain off. You can ignore alot of the historical inaccuracy. As a popcorn flick it's fairly entertaining but if you know anything about the man and his battles it's hard to ignore.

The battle line was almost 5 km wide. dozens of generals controlled the army. Most of the time generals took the initiative and acted accordingly. This was one of the features that made grande arme superior. Not all orders came from Napoleon. And this is not a medieval batlle for God's sake. this is the shittiest battle scene ever.

When are we getting the 4 h 30 min cut?

Not historically accurate

Finally, I want to judge the movie in its entirety

Well, there is no doubt that Ridley Scott is a master of the visuals. I actually prefer Kingdom of Heaven over Gladiator. This preview is of the Battle of Austerlitz which as depicted in the movie is all wrong. Historically, there was no lake only a pond and Allied soldiers did not drown. Also the Allies had the high ground not the French. There are lots of articles on the net and videos on You Tube detailing all the historical inaccuracies but in my opinion it just wasn't a very good movie. It will be interesting to see if the extended cut will be released on 4K disc. Apple TV has to date not released any of it's original movies on disc.

I respect to great Emperor Napoleon

Hollywood needs the old-school auteurs like Ridley Scott more than ever

Just watch the Rod Steiger movie!

Nice

What else could we expected from a british guy taking about france in his prime

When's the directors cut out 🤔

I understand why Scott added the Josephine story line but at what cost? This battle in the theatrical release was probably 4 minutes long with zero context. The Josephine story line led nowhere and just made napoleon out to be a cuck/simp.. I’ve literally no idea what Ridley’s logic was in what he decided to keep and cut. I’m a history guy so I could kinda fill in the gaps but I can’t imagine what it was like for a regular viewer the movie has almost no plot and jumps from one thing to another without explaining what just happened, honestly just a bizarre movie overall.

absolutely loved it in theatre, so epic and grandous all the details

People really can’t just look past the inaccuracies and just enjoy a fun war epic? This is coming from a history major btw

The battle was fougth between three entire armys about 75.000 men Here s berely a batallion

Another example of the pure genius of Napoleon

When is the extended cut coming out?

Que c'était dur pour les hommes à certaines périodes de l'histoire.

Napoleon is directing his army like Romans legions and not line infantry

Its like Titanic, but without dinosaurs

This battle was so intense. The way Joaquin Phoenix portrayed Napoleon was perfect. He gave out a commanding performance.

Oh my

Sick polar express prequel

The battle battle in the ice lake never happened

Lol you can't trick the people who live their onto a frozen lake.

2012 back in 4K 4.12.24

I remember watching an episode of Legends of the Hidden Temple about him.

Sad to see such budget spent on fantasy

Epicness

This wouldve been good if 1. The Marshals such as Lannes, Ney, or even Marshal Massena, Marshal Junot, making decisions with Napoleon 2. He actually protrayed Napoleon as more calulating, becuase what I got as a Character was a weak leader which. Napoleon was far from that, He was a European Conqueror. 3 I am happy with the Uniforms, 4 not happy with General Protrayal of Napoleonic warfare. 5 love the Cannon scenes.

Sun Tzu covered something about knowing your terrain

I live close to this battle and the dead bodies of 3 russian soldiers were found in the pond and i don't mention that it was after the battle and these soldiers were running for their lives ;-)

Fun Fact, 90% of Napoleon's Russian Troops were killed by Typhus, very few by enemy fire and freezing to death.

My granfa...❤❤❤napoleon❤❤❤

Not accurate, but cinematically cool

River phoenix 31 October 1993 The viper room JD

Pure Cinematography, perfectionist level! Simply epic.

Scott could have shot the film in black and white, it wouldn't have changed anything. Otherwise the battle is beautiful, but relatively boring. No dialogue, no tactics, no twists (the frozen lake could have been one but it's in the trailer), no suspense, no humanization of the soldiers, no gore (the cannonballs, however, explode the men and their entrails, tearing off their heads and legs) : in short we are in a series of superb animated paintings/screenshots, but too desaturated.The only thing perfect in this scene are the cannons and their firing.

napoleon : folie a deux

What commander is standing next to Napoleon on the top of the hill and gave orders to artillery? Can't recognise

❤

lmaooooo why are they digging trenches 🙃

Bro really be having armies run around like Medieval and World War armies at the same time, but not refined 18th Century. BRO HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?? 😂

4:35 that music it's from the movie Joker? When Arthur fleck kills Murray Franklin!!!.

I wouldn’t pay 💰 for this 😂😂😂😂

There is nothing we can do 😔

Bro, where he said a bloodline of horses the Australians see it and the leader says run

Некоторые упрекали персонажа Хоакина Феникса в недостатке харизмы и мужественности. Я категорически несогласен, когда пушечное ядро попало в его лошадь, он неколеблясь продолжил драться. Ну а тот факт, что у него не всë получается в бою с первого раза, добавляет истории реализма. В конце концов, основная идея фильма заключается в том, что не бывает всесильных людей. Ридли Скотт не выставляет Наполеона Бонапарта посмешищем, он показывает его человеком, и как все люди, герой Хоакина Феникса не идеален. По воспоминаниям французов, воевавших в Тулоне Наполеон был весь в крови и сражался как ОБЫЧНЫЙ СОЛДАТ вместе своим ватальоном. Именно такого эффекта и добивался режиссёр. Ну а тот факт, что Наполеон в этом сражении управляется с артиллерией гораздо лучше, чем с холодным оружием у меня не вызывает никаких предрассудков. В конце концов Наполеон был артиллеристом, и поэтому естественно, что в фильме он не так хорошо проявляет себя в ближнем бою, как в командовании артиллерией.

It looks like film 🎥 Napoleon Bonaparte if that's right and it's all about love I think everything is about love you got me interesting I watch it

Too many French flags. Riddley Scott loves Flags.

Ah yes massive and brutaly deep lake near Brno in todays Czech republic, that can swallow whole army, which was the key to whole Napoleon tactic.

Ops. Deu tilt no timelapse cognitivo da temperança evolutiva.

I changed my mind. I’m on the French team.

Points for spelling the battle correctly. Other than that…

Enserio fue asi la batalla ?

Best Scene 💂💂🗿🗿🗿

We're you there?

Mi piace

I waited months for this because I’m a big Napoleon fan but instead Ridley Scott give us a steaming pile of 💩

🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank you very much S.P.E (( do what ever u like but don't harm any one )) 🥰⚘️💕

epic

What’s with all the flags??

Very tragic battle scenes

Hace 300 años hacia esta estrategia y ponias tu nombre en la historia, hoy esta estrategia es de free fire como cambia el mundo..😢

Придёшь😂

I want to see Josephine’s surprise…😏😏😏

Present 4 hours

Josephine was napoleon's love, Hipolite charles was Josephine's love: she was older than both! Se preferred the latter!!!

This movie will better if it in Franch

Массовка мощная. Но почему почти все черно-белое? забавно что Наполеон бьет союзников как Алексндр Невский почти - топит их в реке.😂

Everyone complaining about how inaccurate this movie is and nobody can actually say what the inaccuracies are😂

Great film, but I really got sick of Josephine. I get it; he was obsessed with her, but to keep going over that point really grated on me. I would like 15mins cut from the film to help with pacing, most of which would be her. 7/10 as it is, remove some of her, 8/10.

Was really looking forward to this movie but was disappointed. All the battles seemed rushed. You can't fit Napoleon's life into a 3hr movie

Russians learned a lot from this error. Ice on their own land.... what a tactical mistake

It is such a let down and historical inaccuracy. WOW, after doing so well with Gladiator, how could they screw this up so bad?

Netflexoleon

This movie was awesome.... In my opinion!!

Mega enttäuscht von dem Film. Jahre vergehen im Sekundentakt, nur um am Ende ein vermeintliches BioPic draus zu machen, sprich den ganzen Aufstieg und Fall wie auf Speed zu durchgalopieren. Man hätte besser auf das Kino verzichtet und einen vernünftigen 10-teiler oder eine Serie über eine Staffel gemacht. Das hier ist nur Geldschneiderei…. 19 € verbrannt!

One flag for every tent. 600 guys in a snow field v 400 attacking Russians. What a waste of a film
