"Napoleon: Joaquin Phoenix Reigns in Ridley Scott's Epic Biopic"
TL;DR Summary
Ridley Scott's epic film "Napoleon" offers a solid portrayal of the French leader's life, with Joaquin Phoenix delivering a strong performance. However, the film lacks depth and charisma in its portrayal of Napoleon, focusing more on Josephine's side of the story. The visually dazzling battle sequences and technical excellence are commendable, but the overall impact falls short of being a complete success. "Napoleon" premieres on November 22 in US theaters and will later be available on Apple TV+.
