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 Kirky 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.
