Megalopolis has sparked a whirlwind of reactions, ranging from admiration for its ambitious, visually striking scenes to frustration over its confusing narrative and kitsch effects. While some viewers are captivated by the film's audacious and baroque style, others find it overly theatrical and difficult to follow, criticizing its lack of coherent storytelling and depth. The film's attempt to blend modern and futuristic elements with a Roman epic theme has left audiences divided, with its visual appeal often overshadowed by its narrative shortcomings.

Juste un chef-d’œuvre. Rien a dire a part que c’est exceptionnel. N’en déplaise à certains mais pour ma part je trouve ça magnifique.
