Description

A sort of Monopoly clone developed and produced by Globo Giocattoli. Differs from the classic Monopoly for the names of the various "properties" (replaced with the names of cities, such "Rome", "London" and so on, grouped by country).

Also, the player range is different, allowing for a maximum of 8 players instead of 6.

A portable version of Megalopolis has also been released by Globo Giocattoli: this version is for 2-4 players and is contained in a small plastic wallet which can be brought around easily.

Rules are almost identical to the ones in Monopoly, with the exception of some small differences.

Pros
  • Adam Driver's performance was really great.
  • The visuals are absolutely stunning.
  • Loved some of the directorial and camera choices.
Cons
  • The surrounding circus (Q&A, interviews) before the movie was a train wreck and negatively impacted ratings.
  • The live Q&A with Coppola, De Niro, and Spike Lee was awkward and unfocused.
  • Robert De Niro seemed disengaged during the Q&A.
  • Spike Lee seemed high on life and was cracking jokes.
  • The interactive interview scene in the movie didn't work and fell flat.
  • The plot is insane and hard to describe.
  • The interview at the beginning explicitly stated plot points that should have been discovered by the audience.
  • Bottom line: do not bother going to see it in a theater unless for the cinematic experience on a big screen.
  • The movie paled in comparison to the circus that surrounded it.
Thematic elements
  • Commentary on society.
  • Modern futuristic time, retrofuturism.
  • Fable, Roman epic.
