Movie Review: dr mabuse
Summary: 5 Stars
For some inexplicable reason, Amazon has removed the rate-movie feature from the main product page. One must now write a review in order to rate a movie and generate recommendations. This is not a review, but merely a means to allow me to rate this movie and improve my recommendations. If you are as annoyed by this new "feature" as I am, please register your protest w/ Amazon help.Movie Review: Good but not easy
Summary: 4 Stars
A more obscure Lang production that should not be tackled by beginners in silent film collection. This is really 2 films, and should be watched as such, watch the 2 films about a day apart, watching in one sitting will put one into a stupor that renders you incapable of enjoying this lovely story due to its runtime in access of 4 hours.
Dr. Mabuse is an intensely enjoyable villain, and the screen ignites with his evil.
Mabuses's disguises, his mental powers, and his misanthropy make him a truly undeservedly unappreciated portrait of screen evil.
Movie Review: good Fritz Lang film but a horrendous soundtrack - Kino vers
Summary: 4 Stars
This new Kino version of the film has 40 or so more minutes of film, but unfortunatly has a terrible, almost unlistenable soundtrack of some guy plink-plinking away at a few notes on the piano. Which is really a shame. While Die Nibelungen, Metropolis, The Testament of Dr. Mabuse, Spies, and Woman on the Moon are better films, this film deserved better than this soundtrack, one is almost forced to recommend the shorter Image version on dvd.
