Metropolis is one of the most awesome movies of all time. Despite being over 80 years old it's got special effects that can put a George Lucas wet dream to shame, and is more epic than all three Lord of the Rings put together. After all, what could be better than burning evil robots to death on a stake? You probably didn't even know that robots could burn. While obviously Metropolis is a great film, it has always astounded me how watchable it is despite the fact that about a third of the film is missing. Maybe because its a silent movie, it seems acceptable that half of the plot has been replaced with title cards. Whatever the reason is, It doesn't really matter anymore as someone has found the lost footage. Finally, I can figure out who the hell the thin man was! Mark this as a definite addition to my Netflix queue. Now if only someone could find a way to lose the second half of History of Violence, then we'd be in business.
