No but looks great. Will watch it as soon as I can.
Watching Dune 2 and it's good but... Timothée Chalamet Is not inspiring me at all. Neither is Zendaya. Both miscast imo, awful.
Edit: just finished it. Hated the last hour. Turned into a pretencious wankfest that ended by jizzing all over itself for the last 30mins.
Spectacle over substance and poor editing. Despite being almost 3 hours long it still felt really rushed.

Napoleon by Ridley Scott.
God fucking awful biopic. Insanely inaccurate and disjointed. It felt like satire, honestly felt like a movie made by someone who have a personal grudge against Napoleon. Depicted him as a dull dimwitted idiot and skipped through most of the key moments.
Usually nationalities of a directors shouldn't matter, but a brit making this movie was a bad idea. Especially one that's an average storyteller, that relies more on visuals/cinematography, style over substance. Was incoherent from start to finish. Just visualisation of Wikipedia entries.
A movie is too short to cover 25 years too, hopefully the long HBO miniseries Spielberg and the kubrick family are planning will do it more justice.
Or I will just rewatch the old war and peace epic movie(s) from the 60s, saw it as a child. It spent 8 hours of Napoleonic wars and covered strictly just the Russian campaign at that.

Holy shit, just checked the trailer. Never heard of it. But it looks like a must see based on that trailer.

I've seen it this weekend.
Very, very enjoyable and interesting flick. Although it suffers from the same thing that most horror movies suffer these days: it's not scary.
Feels more like a full feature "Twilight Zone" episode which, to be honest, is a good thing.
I felt it could've been more subtle at times as it had moments where it seemed to going into campy "Tales From The Crypt" territory but the overall atmosphere was notch.
One of the guests was based on Randi which was super evident and it was a nice little touch.
Loved the ending - without spoiling anything it was very much in line with the horrors of 70s.
Solid 4/6, had ton of fun watching this one.
