Metropolis Reviews
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Unlike most anime, whose most ardent fans outside Japan seem to be introverted young men with fantasy fetishes, Metropolis never seems hopelessly juvenile.
Dallas Morning News
Tom Maurstad
The imagery with which director Rintaro brings this world to animated life is unique and captivating.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The urban landscapes are detailed down to the signs on the kiosks, and the color palette, with lots of somber blues and pinks, is dreamy and evocative.
Boston Globe
Jonathan Perry
A fast-moving and remarkable film that appears destined to become a landmark in Japanese animation.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
One of the most important and exhilarating forms of animated filmmaking since old Walt doodled Steamboat Willie.
AV Club
Tasha Robinson
A fairly standard genre exercise, packed with light, detail, color, noise, and motion that add up to relatively little.
Variety
Derek Elley
Tale of the struggle for personal freedom in a futuristic, tyrannical society is light on action by contempo standards, and pic's look is uninteresting, apart from occasionally bizarre backgrounds.
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
It smoothly blends outrageously diverse visual styles and emotional tones.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
It's an interesting genre. It's not for me, and I think it's far from great.
Hollywood Reporter
David Hunter
Both beautiful and distant.
Seattle Times
Melanie McFarland
A delightful stimulus for the optic nerves, so much that it's forgivable that the plot feels like every other tale of a totalitarian tomorrow.
Newsday
John Anderson
There's a vastness implied in Metropolis that is just breathtaking.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
A hallucinatory tour de force of color, perspective and scale, virtually encapsulates the history of Japanese animation.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
A near perfect fusion of computer and cel animation.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
One of the best animated films I have ever seen.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
Unfortunately, as this movie is a joy in visuals, it's a let-down plot-wise.
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
The dialogue is dubbed into English by generic actors, whose phony, emotionless rendition undermines what's on the screen.
Panorama
Jean-François Vandeuren
Metropolis se veut une %u0153uvre impressionnante, à la hauteur des noms qui lui sont rattachés.
Chicago Tribune
A film of staggering technical and visual virtuosity, filled with utterly amazing images, that's also entertaining and engaging for children and adults on several levels.
