Not nearly as funny as reviews led me to expect, and the militaristic message also didn't jive with me. Hugely impressive filmmaking for the time though, and Keaton's athleticism is something to behold!

Çekimlerin yılına göre ilerde olması dışında berbat bir film. Politik tavrı militarizm, mantık hataları belki beş sayfa yazılacak, oyunculuklar şimdilerin figüranlarına eş değerken ben ağzımı gere gere "aaabi 100 yıllık filme göre çok başarılı" demem. Şimdiki Recep İvedik'lerin yaptığı şaklaban karakter komedisinden ne farkı var? Senaryo yılına göre değerlendirilecek bir şey değildir. 100 yıl önce ne ise şimdi de o.

Well made and years ahead of its time, it's easy to marvel at Keaton's impressive technical accomplishment, especially given the limits of the tools available to him. Mileage varies of course, and I found my appreciation for it exceeded my enjoyment by a considerable margin. Keaton had great presence, but he rarely makes me laugh, and I'd even rate Lloyd higher than him in the laughs department, which is blasphemy in some circles. Thankfully it's briskly paced and features great stunts.
