Review of Napoleon

I'm afraid this lived down to expectations. Very long, a bit boring. No good acting, no good dialogue, and no insights into the history depicted. Nothing useful about the French revolution, and nothing in the depiction of the battles that actually explains how they went and how Napoleon's generalship contributed to the French victories. The depiction of Waterloo is mainly just a mess, unlike the 1970 film with Rod Steiger as Napoleon.
