eh watched it in film history
As far as I know, it's the first science fiction movie ever, and the first movie to feature a robot. I paid for a 9-movie DVD set just to get this. The music is pretty bad, and the first hour of it is just kind of meh, but things kick into high gear at the start of the second hou...( read more)
This is an amazing feat even if it is one of the first ever real true classic greats of the film world. It's stood the test of time and it will clearly go on to be a consistent classic!!
Weird nonsense, but it was one of the early films that pioneered all these great camera techniques.
Silent movie, watched some on fast forward couldn't take the over exagerating acting.
jaja, la mujer bionica, ok me gusto su personaje sycho, y ademas tiene muchos elementos que han sido copiados en peliculas recientes. classic story del amor "imposible"
I liked this alot less that I thought I would. Yeah, it's influential. Whatever.
Man, I kinda want to live at the Tower of Babel. Is that wrong?
I love this movie. I don't just love it from an intellectual point of view, or from an art critic point of view. This is actually a very cool movie. This is the kind of sci-fi I really dig. It's got an insane...( read more)
I saw some ads when I was a kid based on characters from this movie. Made me wanna see it.
Metropolis is a cutting edge commentary on the implications of the Western world's foray into a technologically driven, capitalist society. Not only has Lang settled on pertinent themes and allegories, but he has also employed, what was for its time, envelope-pushing visuals. T...( read more)
i love that movie
its love love and love it can
hep u survive like a hard machine
It´s impressive until today. This movie will never get old. At let heart unit us all.
Classic tale about man and machine. The origin of futuristic landscapes and modern robotic entities. A masterpiece of technical achievements and western drama.
If I was alive in 1927 and I saw this film it could quite have been possibly I would have died seeing it's so revolutionary content. The birth of Sci-Fi began here, and was a grand entrance into the world of cinema.
I must find this movie again and buy the DVD. This is one of the best movies you can see. Rent or buy it today. I am sorry I don't agree with the review here at all nor to the art theaters that play this classical sci fi film.
Science fiction's most influential picture, who inspired hundreds of movies even at our time, Metropolis is just GREAT!
Some of the best camera and lighting I've seen in my life. Also, the whole film just is so brilliant, it can really work you up. The looks of the lead female actress when she is the robot is one of the most beautiful in terms of female expresiions.
The grandfather of all science fiction film and the culmination of German Expressionism in cinema. This remarkable achievement is a visually stunning watershed that has been unfairly cast as cold and emotionless, when nothing could be further from the truth. One of my all-time f...( read more)
A brilliant film that has withstood the test of time. Even the special effects are good!
wow!!!... increíble lo que hicieron hace 80 años... desde la manera en cómo nos presentan los créditos iniciales, hasta la bella banda sonora... lo mejor del siglo pasado sin duda...
this may be my favorite s/f flic of all time. read the book and saw the film.hard to find but well worth the time. just think what fritz lang could have done with today's tech.
O pesadelo sonhado.
A história se passa no ano de 2026, exatamente um século depois do lançamento do filme, de 1926. O mundo de Metropolis, a futurística e aterradora cidade do título, é frio, mecânico e industrial. A descrição reflete o imaginário característico da época, qua...( read more)
A thousand times better than the average modern Hollywood blockbuster, this 80yo film is atmospheric, intelligent, imaginitive, beautiful to look at, and, well... just so cool!
This is, in my opinion, the true beginning of the modern Science Fiction genre.
See this with a live orchestra, specifically the Alloy Orchestra. You may have to travel, but it's worth it. Great movie, better live.
4 the sci-fi enthusiasts, very impressive but im not 1 of them so i wuld say 'yea ok'
Wow, pretty neat. Really evident why this is such a landmark film. Basic story of opressed masses, greedy fat cats and people trying to exploit sentiment and twist a movement to their own ends, winding up in a cataclysm of their own making.
