Buster really was smooth with it, he rides on the exterior of multiple forms of transportation like he was born to. Hit or miss for me, the middle sequences are fairly dull, but the final 20 or so minutes are great.

The story is just an excuse for the gags, but the gags are very good.

The Cameraman is a bit slow to start

The Cameraman is a bit slow to start and unfocused for the first 75% of its runtime, a loosely connected series of scenes that seem to be padding for time rather than comedic effect (which is odd considering that the MGM writing department apparently used the film to train new writers as a "perfectly constructed comedy" for decades). Perhaps it's just the age of the film showing, but this later-career Keaton seems a bit less timeless than some of his other projects that showcased his incredible talent for physical comedy, the storytelling feels less organic as well. That said, some of the later scenes (beginning with the Tong War) absolutely turn the tide of the film, bringing out the slapstick to full effect with 'show, don't tell' effects like the legs of the camera being shot out during an exchange of gunfire. Overall we might chalk up some of the limitations of The Cameraman to studio interference in Keaton's creative process, which we can see from his independent productions was formidable when given a solid budget and minimal oversight. (3/5)
