It's good where you would expect - the battle sequences: siege of Toulon, grapeshot, Austerlitz, Moscow, Waterloo, Pyramids.
It's weak where you would expect as well - exposition being doled out, Napoleon and Josephine.
The acting isn't great - Joaquin Phoenix is... fine, Vanessa Kirby does great pout but that's it, Rupert Everett seems all wrong as Wellington. I liked the guy who played Alexanda.
It looks terrific, the story is a littie monotonous, it focuses on the lead couple but doesnt give us much insight.
The historical inaccuracies are fine. Sorry, that might be too dismissive of me for the nerds, but the film's other problems are more serious.
