The Battle of Waterloo Scene - Napoleon (2023) [4K 60FPS] Part 1 Full Battle

this film is an insult to the history of napoleon himself and every soldier fallen during the napoleonic wars

Even though this movie is very inaccurate I would pay to stand in a square for a reenactment

[@firebug3256]

This scene sucks. Compare it to the square formation scene done in the seventies film "Waterloo" and that truly gives you a sense of the epic scale of these maneuvers.

[@sa8019]

Napoleon had no chance when the other side was shooting three rounds per minute.

Oh yes, now that the South Essex can stand, no doubt about it sir

So look for the French dubbed version for more realism.

[@michaelbevan1081]

I tried watching this on my way back from England? I just couldn’t even finish it

[@RedwoodBushcraft]

a fan edit mixed with the older Waterloo film + some re-enactment extra shots added in would be awesome!

[@kempaku982]

I would love that too.

[@jakobatredies1114]

My favorite part was when they marched out with no bayonets on, started doing the square, and magically got bayonets on by the time they finished.

[@Hi-lb8cq]

That's how it was in the movie glory...the 54th went to charge,one minute they had no bayonets on then as it showed them charging all of a sudden they had bayonets on

[@alexs591]

Wow they chose such drab, grim, hideous color for this movie. Could have been gorgeous. Compare to the original Waterloo.

[@ericshin121]

Thing that irks me the most of that basically every second person has a British or French flag and sort of detracts the importance of the regimental colours which they had here.

[@memergas740]

2:21 that headshot on a cavalry to a musket really got on my nerves

[@JiggaMan1297]

Why ? Genuine question

[@cpp3221]

@@JiggaMan1297 Because gun at the time, even at point blank range, wouldn't allow such a precision. Since the ammo fired by the musket would bounce into the cannon of the gun, even at 20 meter you could miss a shot on an immobile target. The guy in the scene just headshoted someone while having deflexion to take into account, that's the kind of shot that would need a divine intervention to ever be realised.

[@mrgamingking18]

@@cpp3221100% could’ve made that shot, don’t be silly that rider was like what 10 feet away? Muskets are actually quite accurate within 30 feet plus the headshot was probably just luck

[@cpp3221]

@@mrgamingking18 we're talking about a cavalryman that moove horitonzally compared the soldier. A headshot is still a very lucky shot, but the attitude of the soldier make it look likes it was expected. A shot to the chest ? Why not. Blowing the brain of the cuirrassier like it has no chance to miss ? Even though I know it's just a movie, I can understand how it would break immersion.

[@mrgamingking18]

@@cpp3221 I understand that’s it unlikely but still very very possible, maybe he was just aiming for his whole body and miss and hit his head? I don’t think it’s so impossible it has no right to be shown in the movie. I imagine a lot of riders that day were shot in the head through luck

[@BaronsHistoryTimes]

TOP TEN hilariously crazy mistakes that had every Napoleonist and military history enthusiast ROFLMFA ( or moaning loudly ) in the cinema while watching the Waterloo scene...... 1. No Imperial Guard attack 2. No Dutch/Belgians/Brunswickers/Hanoverians/Nassauers 3. Ney as a brunette and mustached 4. No Hougoumont nor La Haye Sainte 5. Wellington and staff look west instead of East when told the Prussians have arrived. 6. The mix of WW1 trenches and medieval stakes in the ground 7. Wrong flags and flags everywhere 8. Napoleon errors > leading charges (total BS), brandishing a curved sabre (he carried a thin sword and never held it in the battle), exiting a huge camp tent ( he slept at a farmhouse before the battle) 9. Opposing armies fighting it out in the middle of a big field - ancient armies style.... and with no respect for actual formations; except the picturesque squares. 10. In the end credits its shown how idiotic the production and research team was, when it stated 47000 soldiers were killed at Waterloo - a common mistake by simpletons writing up something for history but with no care on proper researching /studying multiple accurate sources .... total casualties at Waterloo was 47,000 - 50,000 wounded AND killed altogether ( around 10,000 dead sadly )

[@geoffruss4672]

Just me or was 0:04 a blatant read from a script off screen?

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

I’ve loved some of Ridley Scott’s movies, but this….. it’s just ghastly. They made the battle of Waterloo look like a re-enactment by the local village amateur dramatics society.

[@godsfavvesper]

even though the movie was average overall, this scene was really good.

[@DongusMcBongus]

Bro. No. Did you SEE the movie Waterloo? 40,000 men and horses. No CGI realistically depicted and accurate. AND it looks sick af.

[@colonelx185]

​@kingdancekiller irrelevant, those types of films can't be made anymore due to the cost of hireing so many people. Accept the film for what it is; something to enjoy. Or not.

[@celine_aeterna]

@@DongusMcBongus yes, the old version required to hire 40k soldiers from the soviets for almost free cost. there is no way you can do that on current days

[@TotallyNotCountDooku]

How can you get the squares wrong? For people who are not aware the squares were effective against cavalry because of the bayonets but were very weak to artillery and well positioned infantry. Wellington ordered his troops to move behind the slope so they could be protected from artillery. Just watch 1970 Waterloo. Far better film and gives napoleon his well deserved flowers

[@jubraka]

As much action that was going on it still seemed bland ... lack of intensity from a dull background music perhaps?

[@karlydoc]

Look the Waterloo battle scenes were very good compared to the rest of this poor film,it's just a shame that the Waterloo scenes where filmed during the winter months.

[@moralfuxery]

So some guys on horses, charged toward a tightly formed square of guns pointing in every direction. If this really happened, im surprised humanity has made it this far. I just cant understand a dumber thing to do... Other than to have forgotten your knife to the gun fight.

[@MH-sg8rn]

It did really happen, but what you have to understand is that Wellington, the British commander came up with this tactic and it went against the basic rules of war at the time, much like Napoleon’s own tactics did. Napoleon’s soldiers would not have been prepared for it and would’ve stuck to their orders, partly out of blind belief in Napoleon. It goes to show that much of what seems obvious to us now was once revolutionary for its time. Wellington is one of the greatest military strategists of all time, this square tactic being one of the reasons why.

[@Ultimaton100]

Soldiers are made to follow orders no matter how irrational they seem, or are.
