Concept: 1/4 (Bad)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 3/4 (Good)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4). Pleasant and fun, but never particularly hilarious. There's some historical interest, seeing how Hollywood portrayed WWI during the war. And Chaplin's character is very different from The Tramp, which is a nice change of pace.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.1/4 (Okay)
