4.5/5
"Cinema history doesn't get much more relevant than the original Metropolis, Fritz Lang's masterwork, a grandiose and jaw-dropping epic that would look impressive for 2004."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

4/4
"A haunting vision, with images that seem more like disturbing hallucinations."  Cinemaphile.org  David Keyes

A
"Science fiction at its silliest and at its best."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

"a Metropolis we'd never seen before. With very few exceptions, the print looked spotless."  DVD Savant  Glenn Martin Erickson

3.5/4
"[A] hugely influential sci-fi classic."  Sci-Fi Movie Page  James O'Ehley

A
"Bridgitte Helm’s strong acting completely transforms her attitude from the demure Maria to the provocative Futura robot with outstanding pantomime work."  Old School Reviews  John A. Nesbit

"The most influential science fiction film ever made."  Classic Film and Television  Michael E. Grost

5/5
"Lang nos mostra um futuro triste, pessimista, no qual os homens sucumbem aos avanços da tecnologia, tornando-se meros escravos das máquinas."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

5/5
"Hey, I think the Giorgio Moroder version of 'Metropolis' is great. Got a problem with that?"  Film Threat  Phil Hall

5/5
"It's a masterpiece, but it's not a sane movie. It's gloriously bonkers."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

C
"A film way ahead of its time."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

"Citing Metropolis’ influence and historical value is redundantly necessary. The film is responsible for gearing the evolution of its medium."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Rumsey Taylor

A
"Surreal, sprawling, operatic, drawing on biblical and medieval imagery as well as H. G. Wells… Lang's influential pulp allegory colonized a new realm of the imagination."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus
