    This documentary follows the best heavy metal band on their pretty ambitious and adventurous 2008 tour, where they put all equipment, crew and band into a huge plane and flew from one sold out show to the next, with singer Bruce Dickinson as pilot. The result is a feast for fans,...( read more) of course. Not only are there excellent concert bits but also very funny anecdotes while following the humble and lovable British working class band members through the rows of fans and locations. Moments that show the unbelievable enthusiasm in South America, the tattooed priest or the grown up man crying like a baby after catching a drum stick pretty much speak for themselves. Particularly wonderful: how many Maiden fans turn out to be Monthy Python followers too during the end credits. Up the Irons!

    Where wickedness meets awesomeness therein lies this film. From the director of Metal and Global Metal comes another awesome doc about hard rockin'. A fun film that is made even better if you're a Maiden fan. If not, I imagine it's enjoyable as long as you fast forward through...( read more) the many concert performances.

    Well, its Maiden, so of course its great. Plus, you get to see Bruce in a tie, Adrian playing tennis, and Nicko & Dave on the golf course. A lot of good concert footage, backstage footage, and the in between. I just wish there was more of the specifics about how the world tour, i...( read more)ncluding visas, packing of the set, flight path, etc was organized.

    Sensational doco and concert in 1. Probably the best thing to come out of England. The way they tracked them and showed different parts of their tour over so many parts of the world was awesome.

    I think it would be kinda hard to watch if iron maiden wasn't one of your favorite bands. If they arn't then you may not like it because of what some of the fans say. However, Iron Maiden IS one of MY favorite bands, so i thought this documentary was quite enjoyable.
