Just saw this movie yesterday and it has easily become one of the best on top of my list. But the only part that i was disappointed of is where they played the song by ray charles in one scene where the ziggarat was being blow up. Its sorta unfitting. But overall, 5/5 on thsi piece.
ummm... metropolis was only very loosely inspired by the Fritz Lang film, in fact Tezuka had never seen the film when he wrote the story, the architecture and name of the story was taken from a poster he once saw of the film, thats it. Nerdy nit-picking aside this was a great review
Great job with this review. I remember watching this movie and thinking, "Damn, this is why I got into anime! This, and Akira, Ghost in the Shell (the first film), Vampire Hunter D, Doomed Megalopolis, and others...they don't make stuff like this in America. I must watch the 1927 Fritz Lang movie. I look forward to viewing your other reviews. Keep it up, man.
I loved Metropolis. I can't hear "I can't stop loving you" without picturing epic destruction anymore!
I liked the art style. I get so sick of anime all using the exact same art style, I prefer things to be original. Recently I saw a video of Pokemon mixed with Elfen Lied, looking like a pokemon going on a bloody massacre. Hilarious stuff but proof that the art styles in anime are too similar.
You really gave this movie justice! Praising and Gushing over it, but then giving it some terribly ruff criticisms the next second later. Bottom line, this was an excellent review of yours. :D Unlike your Akira review though... I don't 100% agree with everything you said here. Then again, it has been several years since I've last seen Metropolis (back when Adult Swim ran it), so I'll definitely give it another watch.
@Sonic2332 The animation criticism is my personal opinion but the whole issue with the character of "Skunk" is quite valid, I also recommend watching it again and you'll see exactly what i mean.
@BionicSlime I dunno, I just feel like you didn't justify the lack of two stars very well with your criticism. I mean, they seemed very minor even if the movie it's self hadn't been a great one.
Beautiful Review, I loved this movie since i was little, when i was little the animation did bother me as well, but it didn't bother me as much. Thanks 4 reviewing!

Skunk kind of reminded me of an earlier Malcolm McDowell with that lop-sided smirk of his.

Speaking of an American song in an anime film, Country Roads was in Whisper of the Heart, interestingly enough.

Skunk was kinda random though, yeah.

@BionicSlime Right, I definitely agree with the part about Skunk. I remember him just being thrown in there, and was soooo half assed.
