Shall we go and see it dd 16 and i??

17yo DS said he really liked it. He knew a lot of it from Horrible Histories 🤔.

I really enjoyed it. It was very well done.

Oh I really didn't like it. The battle scenes are well done but Joaquin Phoenix is so miscast, he plays him as a grumpy weird old man for the whole film.

@dreamingbohemian what ashame!! That would also put me off

A bit laboured, but the battle scenes were very well done

Wonka was good!

The battle scenes are well done but it's overlong. I nearly fell asleep a couple of times.

I enjoyed It, I liked the love story between him and Josephine, it's very tongue in cheek and humourous on occasion, I fell asleep during the last battle scene, woke up and they were still at it.

I’ve heard mixed reactions, especially about his relationship with Josephine ( historically inaccurate), but my teens would enjoy the battle scenes.

@FamBae 🤣🤣🤣

We saw wonka yesterday and absolutely adored It... Perfect Christmas film...

Ohhh, I was wondering about Wonka.

Yes he sort of grunts and mopes his way through the film and it's like, there is no way THIS guy conquered Europe

How stupid.

I absolutely loved it, my 25 year history loving DS also enjoyed it. It was more of a love film than I expected. I know a lot about French history up until Marie Antionette but not much about this period so I found it really interesting.

It's very well done. Worth seeing at the cinema

My 16 year old was so looking forward to it but didn’t enjoy it much. He's a big history buff and was hoping for a rise to power type film. It wasn’t that.

It really heavily focussed on his relationship with some battles in between. There was little context to the battles either. They seemed to paint him as this socially awkward man. Well, that was our takeaway anyway.

I read title as Neapolitan. I was going to say yes it's delish.

I'll get my coat ...
