It’s honestly incredible how much better Waterloo is as a film than Napoleon! It’s hard for me to accept they’re even the same medium, much less genre…
It is a shame, because I really like Phoenix as an actor, and was looking forward to the new Napoleon film. I suppose the red flag should have been raised when we realized that we were getting a British director making a film about one of Britain's historical foes and expecting him to be impartial. Napoleon was probably one of the most important men that forged modern Europe and he deserves to be portrayed as such.

Rod Steiger was WAY better than Phoenix. You're so correct!

You took the words right out of my mouth, haha!
