Great one!!satisfythecrave
The boy just wants his dad to love him.Jimbo Slice
BK delivers great comedy as usual but the special effects seem especially fascinating for the time period. This and the gutsy stunts really set this film apart for me.dirte_lawndre

Keaton. Best Comedian of all time!!Nine99
Great silent comedy.Siskoid
In Steamboat Bill Jr., Buster Keaton plays the over-educated (read: wimpy) son of a gruff riverboat captain who wants him to man up during a river war with a more modern boat threatening to drive the little guy out of business. Complication: Junior falls for the daughter of his father's rival. Sometimes, Keaton seems to be more interested in crafting a good comedy story or situation rather than something to hang slapstick sequences on, and I don't necessarily mind that. The first couple acts tell a universal father-son story, and there's a Romeo and Juliet feel to the romance, but here, I do admit it needs more physical humor (well he didn't entirely direct it). In any case, Keaton always seems to reserve the best for the third act, and there he stages an eye-popping hurricane sequence that is probably very nearly as dangerous for him as it looks. Lots of destruction. Lots of stunts. And it's going to resolve both the romance and the father-son troubles very neatly indeed. Another good bit of fun, worth sticking with.Big A2
Maybe I was just in a better mood when I saw this, or I knew what to expect, but I enjoyed it more than The General.Nine99

Whilst the visual effects were amazing I found the storyline a little sub par.moldypoldy
