Review of The Navigator

The Navigator (1924)
6/10
Funny movie; could've been more fast paced

This movie had a great soundtrack that most definitely added to the movie because I for one didn't care for the story line too much. The photography in the movie was fantastic, no complaints there because the entire film was beautiful visually. My main complaints in the film are that some of the scenes seemed to drag on for way too long. An example would be in one scene where the man and woman are looking for each other, the scene goes on for what seems like five minutes of both characters just running around the boat unable to find each other; I personally believe that something else could've been done with this time because that particular part didn't get a chuckle or a smile out of me. The film was great for it's time and okay for a silent film, however; I do feel that more dialog could've been used. Probably the most magnificent part of the film is that it takes place on a boat, because there were no green screens back when this movie was created that means that the film was actually shot on the vessel and that they most likely had to take many many shots because they were out on a ship and only had a limited time until they'd reach land. Overall I rated the film a 6 out of 10 because it was great visually and had a magnificent sound track however the plot could've been better and less corny.
