| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzStudio interference damaged the film but could not destroy it. |
| Boulder WeeklyThomas DelapaBuster's last definitive feature, despite studio meddling. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. Puccio...the old Keaton magic could not be entirely dampened by the studio's dictums, and The Cameraman includes a number of very funny bits. |
| User ReviewGwen CThe first Buster Keaton film I ever saw. Now I love him. |
| User ReviewMatthew SBuster Keaton is dreamy. It's amazing to see comedy acts that have been done frequently by other comedians over the past being done for the very first time in early films like the swimming pool scene where the guy loses his underwear. This film has one of my most favorite endings ever: the monkey saving the footage of the war and filming the rescue and the other man's cowardice and failure to save the woman, and Buster Keaton getting a big reception from the crowd, or so he thinks. It's just so plain hilarious and heartwarming at the same time that I almost cried. |
| User ReviewJim LBuster Keaton is a brilliant comedian, and The Cameraman is among his best. It is very funny, his physical humor, body language and facial expressions are ingenious. An extremely rewarding film to watch, pure genius. |
| User ReviewBill MDemasiado entretenida, una de las mejores del genial Keaton....Vale la pena verla definitivamente |
| User ReviewKevin NAn absolute masterpiece in every way. It's hilarious and extremely touching. This film is already near the top of the list of my favorite films. |
| User ReviewMarlaWhile his move to MGM limited his control over his films, he is still shown in terrific form. Just how many things can go wrong for one man? the comedy is mixed with romance (of course), but Buster definitely shines! |
| User ReviewMartin TA phenomenally entertaining Buster Keaton film. This one satisfies on all levels: great comedy, great action, great romance and even some suspense. A sublime effort. |
