I think it was a victim of high expectations. <br />A complete version was actually found a few years back, in Argentina I think, but I have yet to see that version.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-76112406644106739832014-09-03T06:18:52.682+03:002014-09-03T06:18:52.682+03:00Metropolis is really disjointed in places because ...Metropolis is really disjointed in places because Lang saw his film mercilessly cut several times. No original master survives, so we have no idea what the overall vision was. Still, it's a visual spectacle with elements of German Expressionism and Art Deco--which is the most interesting thing about it.Kimberly J.M.

I just thought it is a mess. <br />Before seing it the first time I had such high expectations. I am a sucker for good sci-fi. But that first view left me really confused and not in a good way. I really wanted this movie to be good.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-30757706677258206772012-07-31T00:21:06.707+03:002012-07-31T00:21:06.707+03:00I am neither agreeing or disagreeing with your ass...I am neither agreeing or disagreeing with your assessment. I *am* adding that I have seen Metropolis once, and when I did, I didn't immediately fall joyously in love with it. I remember liking it, but that was about it. I also don't remember too much about it. Take that as you will.siochembiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487373396181856763noreply@blogger.com
