The Emperor's New Cloths???

Rating: 3/10 (23 January 2012)

Is this an invitation to re-score silent movies? If so, then good show! But it isn't, is it? No, in spite of good acting and dancing, this is fluff and no more than that. From the first frame to the last totally predictable.
I guess the hype derives from the fact that only few people look at silent movies nowadays. The originals, such as The Crowd, Sunrise and City Lights and, why not, Safety Last or The Mark of Zorro are all far better and far less predictable.
If this film catches your interest for the old silent films then it has done more than you could have expected from it, I guess.
