VHS Movie Reviews of Waterloo [VHS]

Movie Review: "I made one mistake in my life; I should have burned Berlin."
Summary: 5 Stars

'Waterloo' is one of the films that I have enjoyed over the years. I have a interest in the Napoleonic period and this film does a good job of depicting the famous end of it. Rod Steiger as Napoleon is one of my favorite performances of one of my favorite historical characters. Steiger has some of the best lines in the film- many taken from actual historical quotes. His moody depiction of Napoleon is always interesting to watch. Not to be outmatched is Christopher Plummer as the Duke of Wellington who really does a good job playing the aristocratic Duke. Plummer also has plenty of good lines. He also has a nice scene with a foraging soldier. There is also a great cross cutting scene in the film the night before the battle that makes it seem that Napoleon and Wellington are talking to one another.

Dan O' Herlihy is also excellent as Marshall Ney.

The massive numbers of men are also a highlight in the movie. There were around 20,000 men from the Red Army playing the French, English, and Prussian forces. These sheer numbers without any computer graphics is just fascinating to watch. Ney's cavalry charge is one of the highlights of the movie. It needs to be seen on a big screen.

A proper DVD release is needed in the US. It needs to be anamorphic and also as full length of a version of the film as possible. Commentaries and any other extras would be appreciated by fans of the film. This movie deserves to be better known.

Highly recommended!
