Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excelent, a must see for film school students.
Review: This a great movie, because it searchs the grammar of the film language and develops new (1926) ways for cinema, that contributed to the film exploration. Go and see it now. You will learn a lot. Do not forget to travell to 1926.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Every bad thing you read about this DVD edition is true.
Review: This is the worst DVD I ever saw: The image is totally unsharp and cropped to about 60% of the original image area, the soundtrack seems to have no nothing to do with the movie. Terrible. This DVD is simply unwatchable - don't buy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant
Review: What can be said about this movie!!! It is simply one of the most powerful and provocative movies that I have ever seen. If you want to watch something which will encourage you to re-evaluate your beliefs about the world, this is THE movie to watch.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: very good movie
Review: I HAVE A COPY OF THE MOVIE WITH THE GEORIGO MORODER SOUNDTRACK. I ALSO HAVE THE SOUNDTRACK ON CD ALL OF THE SONGS WERE ORIGINAL EXCEPT HERE'S MY HEART BY PAT BENETAR WHICH WAS HORRABLE WHAT THE HECK DID THEY THINK WERE DOING CHANGING THE SONG THAT WAY? I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT COME OUT ON LAZER DISC

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Do Not Buy This Version of Metropolis
Review: This is a great movie that Hollywood Classics has done the dis-service of putting out in their collection of DVD's. Sadly, this was my first time seeing the film from beginning to end, and I couldn't do it. The transfer is from a tape (a poor one, at that), the sound is garbled, and is too painful to watch with the lousy video quality. Hopefully, Criterion will do it right. Until then, do NOT purchase this version for anything but a drink coaster.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Do not buy- under any circumstances
Review: If there were a 0-star rating, this would be it...

The video is horribly cropped, as if they transferred it by zooming in on a TV playing the movie. The print is grainy and overexposed, even for a 72-year-old movie.

The sound is a joke; the score feels like they're playing Muzak over the scenes. There's no connection at all to the action on-screen, and it is almost like it is trying to be something out of Mozart.

Truly an awful DVD, the worst I've bought.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stunning!!!!!!!!
Review: I believe this movie, considering the time it was made, groundbreaking in the sci-fi genre. Fritz Lang obviously went out on a limb making this movie considering the types of subject matter that was consistent with movies of that time. That in itself overwhelms me along with the story line of Metropolis itself. The Moroder version emphasized the urgency of the subject matter more profoundly. I loved both versions.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Also looking for the Moroder version
Review: I have been trying to find a copy of the 80's re-edit of Metropolis for years. Anyone know why it doesn't appear to be available on cassette?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This version of Metropolis was fantastic
Review: I saw this version of Metropolis with the Georgio Moroder score and thought it was great. I have the soundtrack and have been trying to find a copy of the film with no luck. They should re-release this so we can all enjoy it. The rock music fit nicely with the Fritz Lang film

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic Science fiction that broke ground still walked upon.
Review: This film is essential in the pioneering of science fiction film. Without it many films could not have been made. It is visually stunning and worth seeing just for the wonderful silent era photography.
