It was a silly movie, however the pacing did bore me personally, but the stunts and production sets were great, especially towards the end where there was utter chaos.
Very boring. Unfortunately, I could not grasp the effect it had on others and there wasn't any funny scenes at all. I am trying to get into Buster Keaton, but this movie is not contributing to it. It wasn't for me, but I do appreciate the special effects and the editing for the limited technology of the time. I think the story itself is original and entertaining if rewatched a few times to keep up.
This is my first Buster Keaton movie, and I am very impressed with his stunt work. However I had to watch the movie twice to really grasp it, and for being a silent film, it shouldn't have required that. Knowing it has one of the most expensive scenes in silent-film history, I was not impressed by it at all. However it was a silly and moderately entertaining movie, the ending disappointed however.
