1987 US Gold (UK)
Thankfully Charlie Chaplin's movies were never as boring as this.
If producing/directing/or acting in movies means doing any of the actions found in this game, then I pity those professionals. The idea is good, but boy, is this boring...
This is not more than a bad beat 'em up, disguised as a movie making simulator.

The idea is an ambitious one, the result though is a poorly implemented program with zero enjoyment. Chaplin fans would have bought this and I am certain they felt ripped off. What a mess.
The twenties cinematographic aesthetics are nice, as the central idea of shooting a movie with Charlie Chaplin and then editing it, showing it to the public and waiting for the critics' reaction, but: the action part where you should make the stunts is disappointingly limited, you are just able to wander around, punch somebody, climb some stairs - and in the "cutting room" you can only re-watch what you shoot, at normal or faster speed, and decide if you need to reshoot it or not - no actual editing.
2/5
