Significant chunks of this film that were missing when this review aired have been found and restored. Also, the film's original music is now grafted back into the film (played by full orchestra).
its easy to criticize the Giorgio Moroder version of Metropolis, but you have to respect the fact the man at least tried to make a watchable version of the film for a new generations of moviegoers.
Saw this in the theater and thought it was great, even though some critics panned this version. The soundtrack is one of the best albums of 1980's pop.

Siskel would have been proud that they brought back an orchestra on the TCM version. This movie is fantastic.

I watched this finally last night on TCM. absolutely magnificent and terrifying. And gorgeous
Brilliant film.
It's funny how this version is now like a double time capsule - silent movie footage filmed in the 1920s accompanied by 1980s synth music

I think every classic silent film should be found and restored.
When I was in grad school, I took a class on the influence of Madonna, and we watched Parts of this movie. It's cool 😎.
Check out: The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928). My favorite silent film.
I loved the 80s version of this best.
Masterpiece, bar none.
still my favourite version of the movie
Like Battleship Potemkin, I don't think this film has held up with age. I recommend watching it but the film's narrative is all over the place.
Wrong on both accounts. Both films are amongst the best of all time and both have solid narratives, especially Metropolis.
@@joeycmichael3206 Metropolis is all over the place in it's narrative but it's surprisingly stable in it's overall political message.
