Ridley Scott’s “Napoleon” has met its Waterloo — with audiences.
The big battle wide screen motion picture has gotten a B minus from Cinemascore. On Rotten Tomatoes, the audience number is a very low 60.
Even worse: celebrities don’t like it. Twitter users Billy Idol and Sean Ono Lennon each panned it. If you see more, email me at showbiz411@gmail.com.
“Napoleon” will make between $22 million and $25 million in its opening 5 day run. That will be a financial bust for Sony Pictures. If only Spider Man could have led the charge for Napoleon’s army!
Historical note: Wikipedia says Napoleon was not so short — five foot six and a hald. Helpful reader Rebecca Black says “He wasn’t short. The mistake is that he was measured by the obsolete French inch & was 5’2″ by that, but in actuality was about 5’8″ in English inches, as the French inch was about 1.2″ in English measurements!”
See below: at least Sean Lennon appreciated the unintentional humor in the epic.
