Word has come that Apple has no plans to release Ridley Scott's four-hour cut of Napoleon "any time soon", a monumental loss to fans.

We just watched it as well, and as someone who only had BASIC knowledge of Napoleon, your comment is a very good summary.

So many jumps in the movie were not only time jumps of unknown time - but also jumps between good leader, bad leader, good lover, bad lover -- and sometimes it was really hard to keep track. Also, Joaquin was very stoic and flat - was that good acting as Napoleon? Or him being Joaquin?

In the end, we are 2 very easy to please viewers, and our rating is "it was okay".
