It's certainly, by me, a better and more fully-realized film than the first Keaton, and vastly better than the ponderous (and, as the first commenter atTor.com notes, sophomoric) Nolans.<br /><br />The animated MASK OF THE PHANTASM, the most sophisticated expression from that set of productions I've seen, might be my next most-favored.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961352325595827919.post-79631536000205492662015-06-24T07:25:07.811-05:002015-06-24T07:25:07.811-05:00Hey, thank you for such a great reply!

I doubt we'll see a big superhero movie as strangely funny and oddly personal any time soon. Thanks again.Jake Hinksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959106997436699346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3961352325595827919.post-22941671197283090902015-06-24T06:57:04.281-05:002015-06-24T06:57:04.281-05:00At last!

I saw it in '92, losing a day's pay for pulling a fake sickie, then on TV, then on VHS, then on DVD, then on Blu-Ray, then on BD with a commentary...But every time I recommend it to someone they either don't like it, or fall asleep before the end. I hadn't realised it had Dickensian roots, and have downloaded that novella. Thank you for a great appreciation of a great movie. waldog2006https://www.blogger.com/profile/17296638431318992695noreply@blogger.com
