Safety Last

Safety Last!, 1923. A store clerk arranges a building-scaling promotional stunt.

Directed by Fred C. Newmeyer & Sam Taylor. Written by Hal Roach, Taylor & Tim Whelan, with H.M. Walker. Starring Harold Lloyd.

Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 0/4 (Terrible). It's like the first two thirds of the movie exist purely to make you not sympathize with Harold.
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 1/4 (Bad)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 5/10 (Indifferent, 2/4). One of Lloyd's worst films. I can see why people like the climbing sequence (even though it's just a less-funny variant on a bit he's done before), but that only makes up a small part of an otherwise bad movie.
Objective Rating (Average): 1.9/4 (Eh)
