Okay, I now accept that Chaplin's comedy just isn't for me. This is one of his best movies, and I did find some parts mildly humorous, but for me it wasn't great. Seeing our hero repeatedly take it in the shorts because of bad luck and his own bungling stupidity makes me too tense to have my sense of humor tickled. But where the humor failed for me, the pathos (coupled with a decent social commentary) was successful and for that I enjoyed Modern Times.

a silent film using everything that had improved in film making to 1936 except sound (it's actually a strange blend of silent and non-silent), and it works quite nicely. every player in this movie is top notch and it's quality is--in every way--superb.

It's interesting for the social commentary, but I wasn't really entertained apart from the wonderful factory scenes. Too many scenes just went by where nothing really interesting happens, either visually or story-wise. Maybe I was just hoping for more of Chaplin's wonderful physical shenanigans. The ending was perfectly bittersweet.

Pretty good. A few genuine laughs (boat scene was hilarious). Loved the ending. It is the last American film to use title cards as dialogue from the silent era so it's only fitting that Charlie gets the final words. The song near the end was pretty bad though.

(after repeat viewings) The social commentary, comedy and drama all work perfectly on their own yet not as a whole because of how abrupt the tonal shift feels. It's still great, timeless and exceedingly funny (the scene where he picks up the wedge which leads to the sinking boat is comedy gold). Love the ending.

One of Chaplin's greatest, sure it doesn't have the huge romantic value as City Lights, but whatever this film lacks in romance, is made up with hilarious slapstick comedy. But there still is romance! This film made me laugh like no other film, and over 70 years late nontheless! The Tramp character is so charming, I really adore him a lot here. This film never gets old. Classic Chaplin.

Obviously a marvelously crafted piece of comedy, full of brilliant ideas, incisive satire and just plain fun. And yet, the little tramp just doesn't ring my bell. Maybe the character just doesn't appeal to me. I can't put my finger on it, but I simply didn't feel entertained by what I could recognize as an entertaining film. I smiled a few times, but other than that, nothing. But I still can recognize that this is a great movie, just not my kinda thing.

Modern Times is the culmination of Chaplin's work in silent films. In a way the comedy almost transcends mere slapstick, with polished editing (for the time) that selectively speeds up sequences in scenes, making the action effectively a dance number. The jokes are often funny & occasionally clever but I'm surprised the social commentary stoked communism fears at the time. Workers rights, industrial obsolescence & an easier life ≠ communism. Chaplin's a legend & Goddard's pretty...great too.

A beautiful, poignantly satirical masterpiece; opens with its highlight, a breathlessly hilarious take on technology run amok (clearly an inspiration for one of Lucy's most famous sketches); while nothing ever quite tops this sequence for sheer brilliance, the rest is still a remarkable achievement, as Chaplin takes aim at capitalism and consumerism, while constructing elaborate (and while rollerskating terrifying) comedic set pieces. And what a finale - Chaplin talks!!!

surprisingly good. has very little of the cloying sentimentality of most of his other films, feeling more genuine, although it hasn't rid of it entirely. there is also more to it than silly entertainment, being about life in modern society, and however shallow it may be, it is still nice to see. and it's also funnier than his other films, transcending the limitations of his usual slapstick. essentially better in every way.

(viewed October 2012) Frequently very funny, but the gags often go on a bit too long--the comedy is a bit like watching live-action Looney Toons (I don't mean this to be derogatory). It feels too much like a series of loosely connected (and often predictable) vignettes rather than a seamless whole. From a modern perspective, the sound design seems somewhat odd, though I understand how it could be seen as innovate for its time. Goddard is quite captivating, but the romance did little for me.

The sound design is not just unique, it's brilliant in the manner which it lends a voice to the mechanical and simultaneously robs its characters of agency. The social commentary, romance and slapstick humor all intertwine beautifully (if occasionally recklessly), with the Tramp's self-sufficiency flying in the face of an increasingly mechanized age. On a lighter note, Paulette Goddard is a straight-up hottie in this movie; baby, you can get truant with me any day.

Not as good as I expected it to be. Many of the scenes just seemed like funny isolated incidents. There's less of a cohesive story here than in Chaplin's other films. I liked it, but it was less funny than something like The Gold Rush, and less romantic than something like City Lights. Although I must say that the ending is abundantly sentimental, which I love. Speaking of The Gold Rush, they definitely re-used that set in this film. Or maybe it was a direct homage. Either way, I didn't mind.

The satire is great, and the comedy is great for most of it (and even when it's not, the Tramp is just so charming that he carries it anyways), and the movie's just so bloody fun. When you watch Modern Times, you can't help but feel a pervasive sense that Chaplin was a genius, and made what he did into an artform. Score is not a grade.

Filled with brilliant slapstick comedy throughout: the factory scene, the drugs, the boat, ad infinitum. I did think there were some weaker moments, but Chaplin is so resolutely good-natured that I can't help but love him. Plus, no one nails a bittersweet ending like he does.

Chaplin's best; a wildly romantic anti-utopian story that pits the little tramp against Big Brother, with neither side emerging as the clear-cut victor. So much has been written about this that Freder does not need to add anything other than "it's all true." No one who calls themselves a movie fan can afford to ignore this one.

Modern Times is an excellent film with excellent humor and excellent timing. The social commentary comes off as a bit obvious today, but I'm sure it felt very relevant at the time. In any case, large parts of the film are still hilarious 70 years after they were made, and I'm sure they'll be just as hilarious 70 years from now. Timeless.

One of Chaplin's most loved film and not without reason. An incredible story about the importance of industrialization for the little man, and at the same time a spirited comedy. Seems to get better with each viewing, which is always a pretty sure indicator of a work ahead of its time.

The opening factory sequence is probably Chaplin’s high point: one of the brilliant satires of 20th-century work life, so cutting the laughs die in your throat, anticipating Orwell and even the Simpsons. I’d rate it 83 on its own. While the rest is Chaplin’s usual episodic meandering (the Tramp is a pícaro in a way, but I’m not particularly in favour of the picaresque), it’s pervaded by such a strong social consciousness that it’s all a step above the usual Chaplin, including the romance.

I think this is the 5th outing of the Tramp I've seen and frankly the slapstick is leaving me mostly cold and unmoved at this point... however the fun and the ironic intertwining of his own character's impeding obsolescence with the sufferances of the working man in the modern world was a stroke of genius.

Wherein our accidental communist—and Paulette Goddard's feet—travel most extensively. In '36, Chaplin was as hung up on the silent days as always, and more inclined than ever to spell out why, in this film where one may sing for one's supper, or hear His Master's Voice, but always rest assured that people are not the boss of things these days.

This is just such a funny and warm-hearted movie. It's difficult to grasp the concept of years that have passed since the creation of this movie and how it's still very effective and even creepily reflects actual reality right now in ways (think of surveillance and crazy work hours). The eating machine -bit was one of the funniest things I've seen in a movie and I can rewatch that scene and still laugh out loud like crazy.

Rebelliously produced after the awkward transition to talkies, Chaplin kept silent (ish), with sound in a minor role. The mix of social commentary & (chiefly) silent, slapstick humour mostly works but feature-length comic mishaps ala job incompetence is repetitive at best. Flaws aside, it's a beautiful farewell to a dying art, with Chaplin's move to the modern way conveyed through the climactic reveal of his voice, yet not without a cheeky wink, as nothing but gibberish falls from his lips.

It's definitely one of the funniest movies of all time, and I definitely see the appeal of it being the greatest comedy of all time (I'm not complaining about that). What I am complaining about is the lack of focus the film seems to have at a point. It's still absolutely hilarious, but after a point it becomes less about the distrust of technology and just another really well executed rom com.

Any political message is superficial at best, and despite having a number of great sequences, none of them rank among his very best. The assembly line gag was done better by Rene Clair 5 years earlier and nothing has the poetic sophistication of the boxing match in City Lights. Despite all that, Chaplin undeniably had an artistic and technical understanding of the medium far beyond most of contemporaries and Modern Times is still a great comedy a great drama and the best film of 1936.

I geuss the symbolism of man getting stuck in a literal machine is pretty neat, but other than that this in the end doesn't differentiate itself from the mass produce that are structures underlying Chaplin movies; from the unfortunate or poor and oblivious man trying to find love with the same slapstick routines often failing in their comedic intent, in part because of how annoyingly exaggerated its marxist vision ultimately is, and in part due to its dependence on projection by the viewer..

Chaplin's great Modern Times! One of his legendary films. I think I still love The Kid (1921), The Gold Rush (1925) and City Lights (1931) more then this, but it's a Top-5 Chaplin for sure! This is the one with the classic scenes where he gets driven into the machine. Fellow Keystone'er Chester Conklin too! The heart-skipping roller-skating scene where he almost runs over the edge without knowing it! And where he first sings! And it's a delight seeing a silent film still coming in 1936!

I just love to see such a nasty and cynical film that criticises the lifestyle of the Western world, whilst being amazingly uplifting and containing a great romantic plot (or sub-plot, depending on what you think is more important -- love, or work).

Charlie Chaplin falling over for an hour and a half. Slapstick isn't really my thing.

Umm yea. I rate movies how good they are compared to movies of today. Comedy doesn't stand the test of time outside of a historical perspective. Hopefully it helps align my TCIs.

It was great! I enjoyed it so much. It was just so funny! It was funnier than most of the comedy films of recent years. It's interesting to think how comedy has and hasn't changed. I wasn't always laughing out loud, but I was always amused. Chaplin was charming, some of the set pieces were amazing and the music was fantastic. Very entertaining and a movie everyone can enjoy, I think.

This one's gotta be my favorite Chaplin movie. It was obviously a really heartfelt theme for him to deal with, involving the rapid advancement of technology. It's a silent movie, but people's voices can be heard if they're speaking over a loudspeaker or radio or some other piece of technology. These heavy themes lie under a relatively lighthearted plot. The ending is bittersweet, but the last line in the last scene works perfectly.

I'm not into silent movies but Chaplin's tramp is a sympathetic character that packs a lot of entertainment into 90 minutes. I liked this film much better than "City Lights", probably because I agree with Charlie's social commentary here.

This movie was made 15 years after The Kid and two decades after The Tramp's introduction and yet he is still doing the same schtick. It's not breaking any ground (like he later did with The Dictator). He's basically still living in the past while the Marx Brothers have lapped him in terms of wit, originality, and social commentary.

"There can be no better description for Modern Time-or indeed, Chaplin's career-than the film's initial title card: 'A story of industry, of individual enterprise-humanity crusading in the pursuit of happiness.'"

A masterpiece not only of silent cinema, but of cinema in general. Charlie Chaplins shows off all of his talents in this film, and it really pays off. He sings, he dances, he composes a wonderful score, and, of course, gives us more hilarious comedy than you can shake a cane at. Simply a masterpiece.

An all time classic, which should not be missed in a movie collection. Mr. Chaplin was one of the greatest artists and lives on in his great movies! Simply beautiful.

Both as a political satire and as a lovely romance, Modern Times stands out as one of the most charming films in the history of cinema. It is such a popular feature that it seems like I've been watching fragments of it my entire life.

Chaplin's last "great" film is a funny and heart warming tale with a message about the de-humanizing effect of technology. The beginning is very funny and inventive, proving that Chaplin was still a master at pantomime comedy.
