Review of History of the World: Part I (1981) by Ehaarer12 H — 19 May 2010
Sound: Nothing really great here beyond the standard production values for a film of this type.
75/100.
Technical: Nothing great here, cheap sets and props; it is supposed to be a comedy not an epic though.
60/100.
Narrative: An episodic history parody that does not flow well together. Great ideas but disjointed.
40/100.
Character/Acting: Lots of corny Vaudevillian and naughty jokes that are silly and funny. I liked Sid Caesar as the cave man the most. A lot of the supporting cast does an excellent job being funny and keeping the film together.
70/100.
Did I enjoy it: Yes, very funny and silly.
80/100.
Artistic merit: Nothing truly groundbreaking here; the jokes are old, but funny. This film needs a lot more work to be taken seriously, which this film is not supposed to be.
40/100.
Total score 60.8/100.
