Chaplin used to understand at all the human being and it's feelings . The joy, the sadness and the art that is in each one. This movie is a bit of his amazing talent. I'll always admire him as one of the greatests artists in the history, not only the cinema history but the art development. He didn't create only a imortal style, but also a lifestyle, a legend , an imortal character...

1942 version placeholder: The 1940s version that over explains everything and sucks all the comedy out of every scene. It was like having Charlie Chaplin whisper the plot to me for an hour and Charlie, baby, just go back to trying to seduce women who are way too young for you you’re killin me here.

I began seeing a version narrated by Chaplin then I stoped at the middle and resolved to see the original version, and as I imagined, it was much better. The music is amazing, very well adapted... Anyway, this is Chaplin, fellows... full of life, full of art... a fabulous funny very touching movie...

The Gold Rush is one of my favorite Chaplin movies not only because it contains a lot of his funniest gags, that will still have audiences laughing out loud a century after this was made, but also because it's one of his least sappy ones. It's a bit sappy, but not annoyingly sentimental like some of his other films.

(1942 edition) Wait a minute -- the Looney Tunes owe a lot to Chaplin. A character turning into a food item was, like, half of their cartoons.

I'm sorry but I don't find the Little Tramp funny at all any more

Saw the sound version, it was terrible. The silent version is better, but I just don't find this kind of stuff very funny.

Beyond its obvious and expected pleasures as a timeless romantic comedy, The Gold Rush is perhaps the greatest of Chaplin's features for what a shockingly great frontier epic it is. The staging of the arctic wilderness and its bitter hostilities is the equal to many later Man-vs.-Wild films.

A very good and funny Chaplin film. There's not much besides the comedy in this one, though, and it doesn't have anything special beyond being enjoyable.

So many legendary, hilarious scenes, from the dancing rolls to the shoe eating to the balancing cabin. Watching this movie is like watching the birth of everything that would eventually be known as Film Comedy for the next eighty-five years. This is pure, original, timeless comedy.

(after repeat viewings, live piano version) I won't spoil any of the scenes though some of them are absolutely hilarious and it encompasses every bit of the humanism and wit Chaplin is known for. One of Chaplin's best.

A charming old comedy classic, and definitely worth checking out if you like silent films. Chaplin was a very funny man.

There are lots of hilarious moments and some truly iconic scenes, but the narrative doesn't quite knit them together as successfully as Chaplin's very best. He still sucks you into empathising with the pitiable and often adorable tramp, but the love story is a step below the triumph of City Lights. Minor quibbles really, this is still very good.

It loses some steam when it's not in the cabin, and if I'm being honest: I don't always love this kind of comedy. With that said, I did chuckle a little bit, especially at the end when he fell down the steps. Regardless, this is still a fun and quick romp that is never boring (even in its weakest moments) that does evoke some emotions, like sadness when those bitches are playin' the poor guy. Now he's a millionaire so you played yourself.

One of his best movies. The Tramp gets one of his best moments, thinking of eating the shoe or the dance of the rolls. It was pretty awesome watching it in open air with a philharmony playing the score.

Noblet | 74 54th |
All of the bits inside the cabin are great, most of the stuff in the dance hall was less interesting. There are certainly a lot of classic gags, and overall it's a pretty fun way to spend 80 minutes. I can't say that I loved it though.

glumpy_99 | 95 90th |
Reconstructed '25 version: While clearly aided by occasional matte work, this represents Chaplin painting on a rare epic scale, with his Tramp cast into the brutal and bitter wilderness and participating in large scale comic set pieces. Lacks the satiric edge his later films would employ, this is just good old-fashioned entertainment with some hilarious comic set pieces, especially anything involving the isolated cabin! Poignant romance with Hale works well, and Swain is as always an ideal foil.

bof | 55 32nd |
(1942 version) Charlie Chaplin did a lot of things right in his life. The voice-over for this movie, which is essentially a one-act slapstick movie successfully stretched to feature length, but which he tries to sell as a semi-serious melodrama, is not one of them. Trust what you did on camera to tell the story, Chuck.

Chaplin does an excellent job here, he unquestionably carries this film. I'm sure this movie was groundbreaking when it first came out but the story seems overdone by today's standards. There are some slow moments in this movie. Overall I would recommend this comedy.
