Napoleon’s Rotten Tomatoes Score Reveals A Surprising Truth About Ridley Scott’s 46-Year Movie Career

Ridley Scott’s latest historical epic, Napoleon, doesn’t have a particularly impressive score on Rotten Tomatoes – but that low rating fits into a career trend for Scott. Napoleon stars Joaquin Phoenix as the titular Emperor of the French and chronicles his reign through the lens of his relationship with his first wife and close confidant, Empress Joséphine, played by Vanessa Kirby. The film was produced for a streaming release on Apple TV+, but before it hits the streaming service, it’s getting a full wide theatrical release, courtesy of Sony. If the dodgy Rotten Tomatoes score puts audiences off, it might not have been worth it.
