Metropolis is one of those films that you just can't not keep hearing
about. It's talked about in classic movie discussions, excellent movie
discussions, science fiction movie discussions... Basically anyone who
has written a word about movies wishes they made Metropolis.
Essentially the story is about some workers... or something. The
characters, interesting as they are, are merely a way to move from one
amazingly giant set piece to another. The climactic end to the film is
nothing short of spectacular, even by today's standards.
The film moves at a decent pace, barely wallowing as many films of the time did.
