Ridley Scott’s Napoleon, featuring Joaquin Phoenix, is like a blast from the past. With epic battles and snappy moments, it’s basically a classic historical epic.

The unstoppable duo of Martin Scorsese, hitting the big 8-0, and Ridley Scott, gracefully approaching 86. But hold on to your popcorn because these two maestros are not just aging like fine wine; they’re making films that are longer, pricier, and more ambitious than ever. Because who needs retirement when you can have epic battle scenes and sweeping historical dramas?

Take Scott’s latest masterpiece, “Napoleon,” a whopping 160-minute journey through countries, decades, and thunderous battle scenes. It’s practically a cinematic marathon. Sure, it’s awe-inspiring, but be warned – you might come out of it with a deeper admiration for Scott’s stamina rather than any newfound appreciation for Napoleon’s conquests. Because nothing says aging gracefully like making movies that make you question if you need a snack break. Cheers to Scorsese, Scott, and their never-ending quest to outdo themselves!

Ridley Scott, the eternal storyteller, is gifting us with an even longer version of his Napoleon saga – a four-and-a-half-hour director’s cut. Because who needs concise storytelling when you can have a cinematic marathon? The current 160-minute version is apparently just the trailer, leaving us all on the edge of our seats for the real, presumably richer and deeper film. Move over, Lord of the Rings; we’ve got Napoleon: The Extended Edition, a saga so epic it might require a bathroom break. Get your popcorn and sleeping bags ready, folks!
