Well done biographical drama that does a fair job covering Napoleons personal & military life. Of course most of the military campaigns are barely covered, but one would need 100 hours or more to treat his life on film with any real detail. This comes from A & e when they were truly the Arts & Entertainment network. Sadly we will not see the likes of this drama again, as A & e has sunk to being a white trash reality show network, producing nothing of any lasting value.

This mini-series did its best at condensing Napoleon's adult life into 4 episodes. It hit the pivotal points, but there were so many in Napoleon's life, it was hard to do them justice.

This product is priceless; I had to wait a long time to get it, it got lost in the mail several times but at the end of it it was worth it. The story of the rise and fall of Napoleon is the most epic and intriguing part of history to explore and to watch it unfold with such acting, cinematography, and attention to detail is well worth it.

Movies about great men should inspire due to their bravery, genius, character and achievements. In this version of Napoleon's life, I can't help myself from noticing that Napoleon was overshadowed by Talleyrand's superior intellect, while Napoleon himself had no admirable traits aside from the fact that power can also be the ultimate aphrodisiac when possessed by a short man who does not command respect but was obeyed my men who brilliantly pretended to be deferential towards an emperor with no admirable qualities.
