Recién vi en México una versión con pietaje hasta ahora inédito, que según fue encontrado hace algunos años en Argentina. Lo asombroso no fue lo "nuevo", que en realidad son escasos 15 minutos, sino, verla en pantalla gigante con una orquesta en vivo. De por sí ver esta película es una emoción enorme, sobre todo en el epílogo, cuando María está en peligro...

My favourite silent film. This was ahead of it's time. I'm sure the film was impressive in its day with such stunning cinematography, it amazes me even in the present day how spectacular this film is and what a genius Fritz Lang was. He is one of the reasons film is my greatest passion.

The first feature-length silent film I've ever seen (which at least gave me enough experience when I saw The Artist), this film is still the most impressive sci-fi film ever made, although if you haven't seen it yet, you must see it in is restored form, otherwise you wouldn't get as much of it.

I'm sorry to say I was less impressed than I wanted to be. Great art design and overall look, but the unsubtle acting and sentimental script got in my way.

"Of all the great silent films, few approach the curiously hip appeal of Metropolis, director Fritz Lang’s 1927 futuristic German classic. It was the Cleopatra or Heaven’s Gate of its day, nearly bankrupting the studio—Ufa—that produced it. Yet its influence, principally in Lang’s extraordinary visual design, has been monumental. ..." (Review now playing below on Deeper Into Movies, and on Facebook.)

Finally I've watched it completely, but I have to use my imagination to understand the German version for the last 30 minutes hahahahaha...

A stunning masterpiece, more relevant and alive than such clones as Dark City and Blade Runner. Remains perhaps the greatest sci fi film ever made.

Fritz Lang's 1927 masterpiece about a futuristic society run on the backs of oppressed laborers, who are inspired to revolt by a machine created to sew discord by their suspicious leader, remains a jaw-dropping spectacle. The design and early special effects are staggering, as is Lang's sense of pace and rhythm. Perhaps the greatest science fiction film of all time.

La versión restaurada, en pantalla de cine, orquestada en vivo es la más grata experiencia cinematográfica que he tenido en mucho tiempo.

I walked into this film expecting a nice historical artifact and got something more alive than just about anything I've seen in years. Half the shots here would be the best shot in anybody else's sci-fi movie. And all of it still works: as drama, as vision, as epic. 84 years old and still chugging, goddamn.

after months of lollygagging, I finally watched the restored "full" version of this film. I am a huge Fritz Lang lover and this was another masterpiece. the music made it even more powerful. I was once agian swept away by the beauty and early sci-fi of this film; one of my new favorites. I already want to watch it again.

After picking myself up off the floor after watching this film I immediately ordered the blu ray of Fritz Lang's "M". I've never seen anything quite like this, and may never again. I can understand why Roger Ebert said the restored edition of Metropolis on blu ray was the video event of 2010.
