 Rating:  - wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!I have been a fan of Charlie Chaplin and Robert Downey Jr for years. This is the perfect combonation of the two. RDJ does a wonderful job becoming Chaplin.

WORTH SEEING FOR DOWNEY'S PERFORMANCE ALONE!'Chaplin' is a difficult film to pull off for at least two reasons, first... who could possibly portray Charlie Chaplin and his genius?... and how do you fit this guy's entire story into one film?

It was funny, then when I finally saw the film just this year, I realized how talented this man is, and often with talent comes addictions etc. If you've seen Iron Man, Downey is having a great comeback! Chaplin is a really candid look at Mr. Chaplin's real life, the silent films, the era,the politics of old Hollywood etc. I tried to rent ... Read More Rating: - ChaplinRobert Downey Jr. nailed it! A wonderful well done movie! I think any Charlie Chaplin fan would appreciate it.
