Not nearly as well-paced as Buster Keaton's best, nor nearly as heartwarming as Chaplin's, and in creativity it's not even comparable to either. And unlike Keaton and Chaplin's characters, Speedy is an asshole, and not even a charming one.
There's some good stuff here, I enjoyed the intertitles a lot, and the old veterans were the MVPs for sure, but I don't see myself recommending this to anyone when Sherlock Jr or Modern Times or Seven Chances or The Kid are just so obviously superior in all ways.
