Plot: Fritz Lang's Metropolis belongs to legend as much as to cinema. It's a milestone of sci-fi and German expressionism. Yet the story makes minimal sense, and the "theme" belongs in a fortune cook...( read more read more... )

    I have this movie on vhs and I've tried to watch it, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT....

    I could barely get thru the first 5 minutes without wincing from the pain of not knowing WTF was going on... If there was something, like subtitles & maybe music to follow, then that might make it bearable. They need to re-release it appropriately, with music from Pink Floyd & Led Zeppelin, since it was first released as a silent movie, in nineteen twenty freaking seven!!!

    A fantastic movie that felt very unusual to me when I first watched it. I have a 2 hour version, but there is text missing compared to the version the flixster's video clips come from. Some people may not understand Metropolis and what it is about, but many scenes have been cut out. The original was 3 hours, but the american experts cut it so only 1 hour remained. I have read somewhere that there was a character, named Hel, that was cut out because they did not like her name. She is the reason why the mad professor creates such a robot.
    The movie is very, very well done as a movie during the 1920's. I will never forget it. The version I watched seemed older than the 'restored authorized edition', it was dark in the corners of the picture and brighter in the middle, and dust in the picture, but that made the movie even more special as I watched it. I feel like watching this movie again.
