Ridley Scott Napoleon Movie - Depiction of Waterloo

[Sgt Jasper]

I rented the movie, and was very disappointed. Both the battle of Austerlitz and Waterloo were seriously inaccurate. I don't know why I expected any different, though - it was just a movie, not a documentary, and the battle scenes were stunning visually (accuracy be d*****d!)
Actually, with a few days passing, I'm less down on it than I was initially. I'd suggest waiting until the price drops a bit to rent it, curling up on the sofa with a huge bag of popcorn and your favorite beverage, and enjoy the flick as an alternate history story with lots of pretty costumes and scenery.
