Metropolis starts out well with a strong first half but collapses during the second half.
It's like a musician composing a beautiful piece of music for a while and then, all of a sudden, deciding to trash his work
for the fun of it. The special effects is outstanding, but the story needs work. It would be
a good idea to pick up the pace, too, because I was falling asleep a lot.
All in all, Metropolis is instantly forgettable.
