Watching this after having seen Napoleon (2023) and it's interesting how many scenes were replicated. Rod's performance is too theatrical for my taste. The best parts are the battle scenes and how they were done in a real way that today would be made with CGI.

Such a great movie. Couldn't have been easy to make. Plenty of action, drama. A day that changed so much in Europe. Another reminder that war is a very bloody and costly business. Feel sorry for the horses See how Ridley Scott deals with the subject. This is always a good movie to learn a little history. Good acting from some great actors. Sadly all gone now.

'Waterloo' is a film that, while technically impressive, feels emotionally distant. Bondarchuk and cinematographer Armando Nannuzzi never hide the influence of Napoleonic paintings on the visual language of the film, but that's essentially what 'Waterloo' becomes - a piece of history told at arm's l More

Sergei Bondarchuk ought to be commended for his really rather sterling effort at re-creating some of the one hundred days of Napoleon's campaign following his escape from exile on Elba in 1815. Rod Steiger is superbly cast and imperious as the maniacal but genius French Emperor who very nearly conqu More
