The rest of
The Battle of Waterloo (film) received mixed reviews. "Bioscope", a British film journal, praised British and Colonial's effort to preserve a portion of British history with a British production. It tempered this praise by noting that the film recreated scenes from the battle "from the point of view of an ordinary soldier in the thick of the battle," but there was almost no dramatic or human interest. The film was popular enough that a parody, "Pimple's Battle of Waterloo", was hurriedly put into production and released later that year. After the success of "The Battle of Waterloo", British and Colonial continued to produce longer films.
