KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

grantss A young man works as a projectionist at a movie theatre but dreams of becoming a famous detective. His studies toward this goal are put to the test when visiting his girlfriend. A rival steals his girlfriend's father's watch and frames him for the crime. He is forbidden from seeing her again. Now he must fight to clear his name.Buster Keaton at his finest - a classic of the Silent Era. Good plot, all of which is a central structure around which Keaton can build some incredibly clever scenes, sub-plots and sight gags. Some of these are brilliantly funny and intelligent, as Keaton toys mercilessly with the audience. The pool scene - the adventure of the exploding ball - is a great example.Some very clever cinematography and editing too - some of the visual effects and stunts were quite innovative for their time.Superb.

jarrod2661 Sherlock Jr is a very fun film. To start, I am not the biggest fan of silent films. I find most boring and not a very fun watch. However, with this one, I really enjoyed it. Buster Keaton is a actor that I did not know much about. With this film, I'd really like to see more of his films. His comedic timing and selling of scenes are astounding. Keaton makes me laugh out loud and I can't wait to see more of this films. Another thing I really liked about this film is it's visual style. It has a very unique style and right from the opening, the film establishes itself as a very solid visual treat.

ashleyrosencrans There is a spoiler in this review! I was very impressed to see all the special effects in this movie since it came out in 1924. For example, him coming out of his body in the dream, running on top of the train, and the camera following him so fast on the bike. I am very curious as to how they pulled that off! I thought the music was fitting and the story line definitely kept me watching, it was funny and interesting how most of the movie was a dream anyways and it wasn't even him who solved the mystery in real life.

caitlinestes Buster Keaton's film, Sherlock Jr. is a great film that uses a lot of techniques that make the film interesting and creative. As well as the comedy throughout the whole film. The theater workers love for a girl leads him to dream vicariously through a movie being shown at the theater. It is very unique and interesting how they show some of the film through a screen at the theater. The humor used throughout the film kept me engaged and interested. With Sherlock Jr. only being the second silent film I have seen, it was very interesting.
