GIANT OF METROPOLIS, THE
(AKA: IL GIGANTE DI METROPOLIS)(1961)
In the set: 100 Greatest Sci-Fi Classics
An Italian film which is supposed to depict
Atlantis as an evil land ruled by an evil
dictator who refuses to let his father die
even though that's his wish! He's been
visited by another who has come to warn
of Atlantis' impending doom if they don't
change their ways! C-
From a reviewer from IMDb.com:
This is the ultimate Italo-kitsch-sword and
sandal-science fiction something. The early
60's cinematic Zeitgeist in Italy was certainly
unique. This one has some knockout art direction
and costumes along with some pretty moody
photography. Then there's your cheesy (but
fun) fight scenes. It also has a some crummy
special effects, monotone dubbed acting,
and somewhat slow pace; but you fans of
the genre knew that already and all you
others will just have to try it for
yourselves. You either love these kinds
of films or loath them with a passion-
(said in a low, dubbed, monotone voice)
WHICH WILL YOU BE? A great minimalist
musical score, too. I give this one
an 8 because of what it is- just plain
bizarre weirdness that may appeal to
those of you with a certain kind of
mindset. Gordon Mitchell sure is ugly
but he's perfect as the put-upon (and
I mean PUT-UPON) hero. - bushrod56
