This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This films is like no other that I've seen about World War, even though is not realistic as the other films tried to be that's is not a big deal, the BIG deal we can see in the film is how in 1940 Americans didn't know how dangerous Hitler was, they obviously saw him as crazy man but they were ignorant of the extent of Hitler's Atrocities. It's fascinating to see how in the final scene of the film, Charles Chaplin realizes that war was coming and Hitler was no joke, so he decides to write the final speech where he tries really hard to get a peace message to the world, one message that nazis and Germans could ear too, he almost begs for humanity to see the world, one world that was rotting. It's mind blowing how the speech can inspire even now in 2018, Charles Chaplin would be immortal for that.

It is supposed to be such a great movie, but I didn't like it. There is no humour that appeals, it is all too weak. The only good thing about it was the speech the jewish barber made in the end.

Undoubtedly this is not Charles Chaplin's best work. This guy is a legend but sadly his performance in this film was not nowhere near legendary.The story was not well written and lacked quality humor in it. Some of the scenes were unnecessarily long and dull. If the film's run time was one and half hour long then the film would have been more enjoyable.Charles Chaplin's performance was good but it was not his usual excellent work. I think the script failed him badly. Because the story didn't stick to the character all the time, sometimes it went off the character and did something which does not fit the character they build up.All in all it is a good movie but does not deserve this much high ratings.

Sure the project is honorable and courageous to kick dictators and alert about the oppressed but a movie is not a political work but an artistic one: honestly i tried to watch it but after 20 minutes of unfunny jokes, heavy pantomimes and silly grimaces, i had enough... The production looks cheap or the sets are really badly build, the scenes are tedious, endless, ... so that's really not my kind of fun and it's really discourages me of watching any Charlot movie after that! For the same subject, prefer the comics Maus!
