Napoleon

Napoleon

I guess it makes sense: in the same year we get Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon, two historical epics that break conventions of the genre and try and do something interesting with it, there has to be the reply, the formulaic, shallow, episodic, expensive bloater that reassures Hollywood, "it's okay, people will still come and see the usual empty spectacle, we don't need to start actually working on our scripts". Paging Ridley Scott!

They missed a bit off the title - it should have been called Napoleon: Old Hat.
