Review of Shoulder Arms (1918) by David L — 12 Jul 2014
Shoulder Arms has interesting twist ending, Chaplin's signature look, humor and pacifist statement, all of which he will put to better use in the Great Dictator, and the film is overall entertaining and well-filmed, but it is lacking plotwise, the running time is too short and the film definitely needed more intertitles and slower pacing.
It is nowhere near his best work, but as his first feature film, it is pretty good and holds up rather well.
