Ah, didn't see the trailer. And now that I saw three of them, I still couldn't spot Napoleon sitting on a horse, the horse exploding, and Napoleon ending up on the ground. Oh well, the Renaissance is when history starts getting too close modern world to be suitable for my escapism needs, so not a film for me. As for other defenses for spoilers, I'm just going to disagree. I simply don't want to know what's coming. Also no big fan of Shakespeare.
I guess this is the kind of review that's for people who've already seen the movie? Because that horse spoiler was ruthless. For the kind of review that's meant to inform people about whether or not they might be interested in going to see a certain movie, I prefer zero spoilers, not matter how insignificant they might seem. Very good review for me though, as it really painted a picture of the movie which I'm not going to see, and didn't even knew existed.
And spoilers for a historical epic? Was there anyone going into this movie who thinks that Waterloo is going to break Napoleon's way?
While I don't go out of my way to "spoil" things, my philosophy is that spoilers only ruin the worst kind of stories. Think of it this way, Shakespeare spoiled pretty much all of his plays in the opening lines.

The horse shot was in the trailer.

Two households, both alike in dignity
(In fair Verona, where we lay our scene),
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life;
