Option 1. When you are in the Metro UI, start typing "cmd". It will automatically go in to search mode and will search for what you type
Option 2: You can open the command prompt by starting the cmd.exe in the windows system32 folder.

* Open Windows Explorer. 

* Navigate to the folder C:\Windows\System32

* Look for the application CMD.EXE and double click on it.

It will open the command prompt, which look exactly same as before!

You can double click on cmd.exe and choose "Pin to Taskbar" which will add a shortcut to the taskbar for easy access to the command prompt in future.]

Option 3: I just figured out how to open the RUN dialog in Windows 8, which can be used to open command prompt or any other applications by typing it in the RUN dialog.

To open the RUN dialog, press the Windows key and then press "R". This will open the RUN dialog for you. To open the command prompt from here, type "cmd" and press ENTER.
