Sherlock Jr.

Dies ist definitiv einer der besten Keaton-Filme, die ich bisher gesehen habe – wahrscheinlich der zweitbeste nach Der General. Die Geschichte (eine echte Parodie) ist toll, die Gags einfallsreich (der Mordstuhl, das Billard, die Motorradfahrt), die Tricks unglaublich und die Stimmung bezaubernd (der Anfang des Films, der Sprung durch die Krawattenverkäuferin). Alles bekommt von mir einen Einser. (31.10.2014)

The opening drags a bit, but what comes in the second half is perhaps the best detective parody of all time. Two moments in particular gave me the kind of fits of laughter that I hadn’t had in long time – where did they get such ideas? 85% (19.03.2014)

Buster Keaton absolutely amazed me with how meticulously each stunt is filmed. It's absolutely breathtaking, even after 90 years. Nowadays, some stunts don't look nearly as good. It's a shame that nowadays classic effects and stunts are disregarded, especially since everyone has insurance. Digital effects can be infuriating at times, and this is a perfect example of it. An excellent film that proves silent movies can captivate today's audience as well. (03.07.2014)
