Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Adapted from Osamu Tezuka's 1949 manga, Metropolis (in Japanese with English subtitles) is an opulently beautiful film that fails to present a coherent story worthy of its extraordinary visuals. Evil Duke Red (voice by Taro Ishida) plans to rule the world from Ziggurat, his newly completed art deco tower. A new robot is being developed by his henchman Dr. Laughton (Junpei Takeguchi) to control all the machines in the world from Ziggurat. Japanese detective Shunsaku Ban (Kousei Tomita) and his nephew Kenichi (Kei Kobayashi) arrive in Metropolis in pursuit of Laughton and are plunged into Red's plot. When the duke's maniacal adopted son Rock (Kohki Okada) attacks Laughton's hidden lab, Kenichi and the waiflike android Tima (Yuka Imoto) flee into the city's subterranean slums and fall in love. Despite a protracted series of chases and violent shootouts, there's little excitement and less character development. Director Rintaro (Hayashi Shigeyuki) borrows heavily from Fritz Lang's 1926 Metropolis, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, and Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira, but his staging makes much of the action hard to follow. The film takes an unintentionally hilarious turn when Ziggurat crumbles to Ray Charles's "I Can't Stop Loving You." The computer-generated skyscrapers, machines, and airships offer dazzling vistas of an overscaled and sinister deco-dystopia. But Tezuka's flat little characters, with their big eyes, round noses, and bubble-shaped feet, don't fit into that realistic three-dimensional environment. MPAA rating: PG. Contains considerable violence and grotesque imagery. --Charles Solomon

I recently did a review for this film that I had to delete. I hadn't seen the movie in years when I wrote it. After praising "Metropolis" as "one of the most visually beautiful movies ever made in the entire history of cinema. Period. Much more impressive than Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" which is the mother of all sci-fi eyeball dazzling visual extravaganzas" - I went back and watched it.
I guess the CGI and traditional animation combo really impressed me a few years ago. Lol. First off ... Read More

While anyone can harp about the character designs not matching up with the background, its more important to apreciate what this anime did deliver, and that would be overall aesthetic quality. I my self actualy wanted a more expanded version of Metropolis even after I finished watching it, which is more than I could say for most movies. Im aware that the manga does exist and is problaly better, but in many cases the graphic novel or novel in general is always prefered by audiences who have actualy read ... Read More

Apparently everyone else loved it... but I hated it... (Well hate is strong... I didn't HATE it per se...)
Most of the reviews seem to rely heavily on the historical significance of this anime. No doubting that the original artist, and the fact that this was one of the earliest anime films to make significant use of 3D makes for a powerful history but the history doesn't make this piece timeless... the story should make this work timeless... and to be honest this story and story telling is ...

In the winter of 1921 poet Hirato Renkicki, the first Japanese Futurist, distributed the first Japanese Futurist Manifesto to the people in Hibiya Park. To him the city had become a motor and the core of the city was dynamo-electric. The city was a system and the people were part of the system. This had become a very common idea, not only in Asia but also in Europe. This was not the first time Japan had been exposed to futurism but it was the first to take on a Japanese feel. It almost became anti ... Read More

This is my favorite film of all time, so I was wondering what people who gave it one star would have to say. The two most prominent complaints were an outdated style of animation and overdone storyline. There is a simple and reasonable explanation. This is based of elements from Metropolis by Fritz Lang and Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis manga. The animation style mimics his artwork, giving it a retro feel. Any other type would change the film's purpose and feel so drasticly that it would not be the same film ... Read More
