Napoleon's historical political/military stuff just feels like a wiki slideshow/10th grade book report/Clash of Kings ad sometimes (when it's not just visually striking), but it also has a lot of focus on him being a.) Extremely horny and b.) Really bad at loving and imo that's where the film shines (it should've been a gross 90s erotic thriller about Napoleon and Josephine).

Honestly the British should knight Ridley Scott a second time because it's a movie mostly about how Napoleon is a weird loser and a cuck and maaaaybe kindaaaa Hitler. It's funny because they didn't make him particularly short but went off in almost every other possible direction.
Really hoping someone makes a film about how Winston Churchill was one of the 20th century's great monsters.

I'm hoping the 4 hour cut is as big a jump in quality as the extended cut of Kingdom of Heaven.

I also hope it comes out on a 4k disc instead of being lost forever on apple+.

For as much as I liked Napoleon, it did feel like it fast-forwarded through the story.

I'm going the other way imo. Just need a 90 minute cut that focuses on Napoleon being a super horny awkward cuckold who is really bad at loving, with some of the battle scenes spliced in. Maybe just Austerlitz.
It's a gorgeous movie sometimes but honestly I didn't find many of the battles that visually compelling and even if you had another hour filling more of the political details it's a.) all such a book report PowerPoint slide thing and b.) ideologically and historically it's all like Barnes and Noble/History Channel dad stuff about Napoleon and the French Revolution anyway ("they went too far!!! 'White Terror'? What's that?")

I encountered a comment online who loves Prometheus but didn't know Scott made it. The best thing is they recognised that it's a movie about [Scott's complicated relationship with] religion.

Well France still uses the governorship/province demarcation, currency, high school testing, devised by Napoleon, and in the movie he did seem like an idiot that did none of these things. But then again, that was funny and my favorite part of the movie so whose right here.

yes and no. It's a thematic update of Alien, rather than a direct remake. Alien is a cosmic horror film. The Alien is incomprehensible and terrifying in its incomprehensibility, its lack of parrallels with any earth biology, even down to the nature of its life cycle. Aliens, while a brilliant film, is not cosmic horror. It makes the Alien sort of make some sense. It's a bit like a bee or an ant. Prometheus is making the alien's nature and life cycle even more opaque than it ever was, answering questions with things that just raise further questions.

Alien is about how the universe is cruel and random, and there are no values presiding over god's cruel kingdom, just the survival of the fittest. The horror comes from us potentially not being the fittest. Prometheus suggests that the universe is cruel, but not random. It is that way because God hates you. Probably because of something you did.

Prometheus rules

It's also probably Scott's best looking film.

Movies like this typically end with the main characters discovering they were wrong and lovely and learn humanity

Him framing this as "I had to do Thor to support my family" is also kind of funny because he cheated on his (first) wife with his PA during the production of Thor 3, leading to their divorce.
