I understand its great to have a silent movie and everything, but I honestly feel like this movie is vastly overrated. I feel like the whole movie was simply using this as a gimmick, and while I have nothing against the movie being in black and white, or being silent, I don't like the plot. I personally prefer the hilarity that is Mel Brooks' Silent Movie, and I feel like that does much better at making an enjoyable, modern, silent movie.
Over all I feel like a film student would love The Artist, but I am not that sure a normal person would.
Meh
