7/10
Not Fritz Lang's Best
6 January 2021
Dr. Mabuse has an interesting story and the character certainly is iconic, however 4+ hours is entirely unnecessary. 60-70% of this movie could have been cut with very little impact to the narrative.

I would like to see a remake, as although this is a pioneering work, it is incredibly boring. I felt like I was watching the same scene over and over again.

I've given it a 7 because of when it was made but really I think it's a 6. There are other films made around the same time that are more entertaining.

Glad I checked it out but I doubt I'll bother with any of the sequels
