Seven decades before Michael Crichton borrowed the title of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic adventure tale, The Lost World was the movie sensation of 1925. (The film is not to be confused with...( read more

MCT:October 1, 2008Points off, obviously, for the blackface character, but the things they did with coloring the film and the effects all make this movie worth a watch. I'm impressed with the stop motion, considering the year it was made and it moves nice and quickly.

MCT:April 29, 2008This is an essential film for students. May seem a bit intolerably slow, which is why I always screen it at 1.5x or 2x the speed which makes the action a lot more visceral and animated and less like time lapse creatures slowed by the occasional misplacing (special effects was always complicated, the best example I always think of is when Ray Harryhausen is explaining how he kept track of the skull soldiers' movements in "Jason and the Argonauts", or how he would could back from lunch having forgotten which heads on the seven headed serpent had done which movements yet but that is another movie, another master who gained his knowledge from the effects auteur in this film).

Amazing and then some. To have this much brillance and technological ability in 1925 is stunning. I have not however seen this since it has been restored and I'll have to "put it on my queue" so that I can do so.

Though the special effects are impressive and thirty years ahead of their time, they're sixty years behind ours. The story is well-told, though now it is well-worn. I never realised how much the 1933 King Kong was a remake of this. The actors aren't over made up, nor do they exxagerate their performances which is common in silents. Ending is not very strong, but still a very good film.

Considering this is the first full silent film I have ever watch, I was still somewhat swayed by the classic charm, simular to that from King Kong, however due to the silence and the never ending stream of music with the odd written text on screen for dialogue, it's charm was limited to the fact of it being a silent film. This means that it was still a wonderful piece of original cinema but without the sound, the monsters weren't as memerable as Kong or others, but being said, they were THE FIRST.

Glorious and majestic, but somehow, it is cuuuuuuuute n_n. This grabs your attention in a great way, with all of thoselovely puppets. You can clearly see the influence this caused over Hollywood. Without this, there wouldn't have been a King Kong, or at least, King Kong wouldn't have been the same. Worth a look because of what it is.

Groundbreaking silent film whereas dinosaurs and prehistory were first brought to the silver screen. Though a bit dated, Williw O'Brien's dinosaurs are a precursor to the legendary film he'd work on later...King Kong.
