Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
markcasa-63624 Based of the manga comic and 1927 movie of the same name, and when I say the same name I mean it has almost nothing to do with the 1927 film and also besides characters and a few locations has almost nothing to do with the manga.I saw this film on October 5th 2017, and I saw the live action movie 10 weeks later, and I like this one better then that, mostly because I can understand what the hell is going on in this movie.From the few images I have seen I can tell director Rintaro and writer Katsohiro Otomo (Director of akira) made a lot of effort to make this just like the comic.And for that I congratulate them. Also for that song in the end "I can't stop loving you"That's what makes me what to see this other and other again.
osirisgothra-299-753735 FYI: My post reveals small plot elements throughout the movie and is meant for people who've seen the entire movie already. It will be useless to you if you have not and please don't respond if you've not yet seen this film.I liked this movie a lot. Something I wondered is - Kenichi, is he a robot or a human? At first glance, everyone probably will say "doh idiot, of course he's human" or something, but consider this. If he was human, then why didn't he get chopped up with the organic waste when falling into that sewer drain like said? Also, he never eats or drinks anything, not exactly proof just a reinforcer. On top of that, when Tima asks his uncle what she is, she comments that she is just like Kenichi and his uncle makes it a point to say "Yes, just like Kenichi" almost as if to hint to the audience that maybe he was also a "Special" robot. After all, his uncle had been tracking down the mad doctor all this time, it is entirely possible that Kenichi was just another victim along the way and adopted by the detective during some pursuit. Anyways, there are also a lot of little things that suggest he may be a robot. Re-watch the movie again with this in mind and you will see what I mean. Please feel free to respond to this, but please, don't troll or bash.. I really am only interested in responses that merit some amount of thinking on your part, not just blind rage, hate or fear. Thanks for your time if you read this. -Thanks, osirisgothra, paradisim.zxq.net
eferoth I watched the first third of this movie about two months ago and then stopped because it made me angry. I finished it now, because I was bored. I'm still angry, so I give it a 5/10.First of, the animation is top of the line. I found the 3D elements sort of lacking (given the fact that its a cinema release), but still eye-pleasing.Metropolis looks simply gorgeous in every single shot. (like Blade Runner in blaring colours or Midgar in FinalFantasyVII(the game, not the movie)).The storyline is OK. Nothing too grand, and more of the "been there more'n once, seen it"-sort, but its still solid and carries the movie. Still, it was sort of predictable the whole way through. They could have done with a little less pathos, too. (come now, the most advanced robot that's ever been has a human shaped heart and it stops beating when the robot loses its humanity??? ...please...)The soundtrack is eerily fitting and, as someone wrote before me, I will probably always the final scenes of the movie because they absolutely nailed the music there.Now to the angry factor. I know it's a classic, and all the hardcore fanbase would have screamed in agony, but the character design is just grossly misplaced (to put it mildly), for this kind of movie. It's like Sin City would be drawn by Albert Uderzo. Storyline and Art just don't match. While Kenichi and Tima are not too bad (as they are kids), everyone else just falls out of the background. That duke for example. Or the detective. Every time they were on screen I got ripped out of an otherwise consistent world. You just shouldn't mix a serious story with visual oddballs. Look at the "Ghost in the Shell"-movies. They pretty much kicked Shirows Manga Designs into the can and went for a more realistic approach. What did we get? A more believable world.Well, this single fact pretty much ruined a lot of the fun this movie could have been for me. If you don't care about that (watch the trailer first), you're in for an above average piece of anime.
Karneda92 This is not just one of the greatest anime movies ever made but one of the greatest animated movies of all time. This film is an amazing achievement in every aspect and really pushes the may animated movies are directed and presented.The film takes place in the a future reminiscent of art deco. It will be almost impossible to fully explain the story of metropolis in a comment alone for there are many important characters with there own back story but in brief i can tell you it is about a young boy and his detective uncle as they discover a humanoid robot with striking similarities to a human being. Wat immediately catches your attention of metropolis is the way it is presented, blending CGI with highly fluid hand drawn animation in a noir style this makes the film very memorable Wat's more striking is the character development with highly memorable characters with a great English and Japanese voice cast. You have a great deal of sympathy even for the antagonists e.g.You have the main antagonist shattered by the loss of his daughter and his right hand man born without parents adopted Duke Red (main antagonist) as a father but is often neglected and shunned by him.This is an excellent achievement for an animation and should not be missed this is a film that s other anime greats like Akira and Princess Mononoke a must see film.
