I saw this film as a result of trolling through the listings here at imdb looking for a great film I hadn't seen. I looked at 3 or 4 video stores before I found a copy to rent, brought it home, and, boy, was I disappointed.
The film's OK, and I'm sure it was quite a spectacle for 1927, but part of the problem is that it's just too far back in time. It's probably worth viewing once just for the historical value of seeing an old silent movie, and if you looooooower your expectations you may really enjoy it; but for me, once is definitely all I could take.
