Budget problems, weather and all sorts of problems delayed the movie and it wasn't released until 1926 - now with new scenes added, with sound!"<br /><br />A little Ed Wood approach can´t hurt.<br /><br /><br />"It stays way to long focusing on politics and talking and some drama and some more talking."<br /><br />It could ba that sound was relatively new invention and perhaps producers wanted to show off their new toy....just like 3D today.<br /><br /><br />"Despite its flaws and being way to focused on drama and less on monsters and adventures, this is a damn fine little movie and I'm very happy I found it on DVD in Germany,"<br /><br />It sounds very good...after all... I only seen Mysterious Island (1961) and silent flicks is something I enjoy watching from time to time.<br /><br /><br /><br />Good review, thanks ninja.<br /><br />Could you do a review of Fritz Langs Die Nibelungen: Siegfried (1924) & Die Nibelungen: Kriemhilds Rache (1924)...? I haven´t seen it but people say it´s great.<br /><br /><br />MegatronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
