Sep 5 A few laughs scattered throughout the short. I always love when Chaplin utilizes dogs for his movies, so I of course had a good time. 2.5/5 stars, although not as good as some of his other stuff it’s still a fun short. See more 12/19/2020 It is the beginning and uncompleted ideas of City Lights 1931. There were the same jokes and funny acts but my thought is The Champion is a preview or a warm-up for his Golden Age of filmmaking. See more 09/13/2014 Pretty damn funny after a slightly muddled first 5 mins (it's a short film) See more 06/20/2014 a little tramp chaplin short See more 09/01/2013 It was an okey film. It was not my favorite Charlie Chaplin film but it had some funny scenes within in. See more 08/06/2013 One of the significantly earlier examples of Charlie Chaplin's talent for slapstick comedy, The Champion is a simple little front for great physical comedy in the context of a sports movie. Charlie Chaplin is the real champion of the story, ensuring that at 30 minutes of silent movie length The Champion is a sufficiently entertaining comedy loaded with the entertaining slapstick and comedic dynamics that make him the iconic comedian he is today. It's a fun venture, moving him from being the sophisticated man in a suit to being an unusually talented boxer. It maintains a classical feel with much of the original vaudeville atmosphere to it, and supplies a good slap of many sticks from the hands of the man himself, Charlie Chaplin.
