I found it really disappointing. Ridley Scott is a film director, and this subject just has too much material for him to tackle. Napoleon Bonaparte's career would have been better as a mini-series or multi-season series. Hollywood stretched out The Hobbit into three long movies but took the life of one of Europe's most complex rulers and squeezed it into a tight two-and-a-half-hour film.
If you didn't come into this knowing a bit about the history, the battles and the characters I think you could be entirely lost.
