One of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Even though I'm a really big fan of Metallica, anyone interensted in Metal, music, documentaries, or film in general needs to see this.
What probably was planned to be a documentary about the making of their new record soon turned into a close into the head and hearts of one of the greatest rock bands around. As their egos collide and they go through the hardest time of their career we really get to know the memb...( read more)
Lars' dad is the raddest guy ever, everyone else is pretty lame. "I never get to talk to my little Danish friend anymore!"
I'll stay out of the debate about the direction of the band and state that this is a fascinating documentary about a rock band. Populated by a variety of characters, this film shows people such as Lars Ulrich, a prima donna who can't see the forest for the trees (and admits to t...( read more)
a must-see for all MetallicA or any metal fans! :)
haha i watched it on youtube :P
I like Metallica, but I don't even come close to a big enough fan to go see this.
Metallica: Some Kind of Monster doesn't require you to know anything about the band Metallica or heavy metal music, but it supplies a lot of information about various kinds of monsters. full review
One of the most marvelous rock documentaries of all time. full review
Don't let anyone spoil the surprises of this thrashing, thrilling chunk of cinematic gold. It's one for the time capsule. full review
The filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky turn what might have been a conventional behind-the-scenes rockumentary into a riveting, intricate psychodrama. full review
Even if you're not a fan of their music, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster is a revelation: funny, fascinating and insightful. full review
There is no better time for this film to be, even if its appeal would be mostly limited to band fans and sociologists. full review
Ok I'm a pure die hard Metallica fan, I have all their albums. from what I found to be a disappointing last album which was St. Anger I was praying that Death magnetic would not tread the same boards. Did my wishes come true? DID THEY EVER! Thank god and of course Rick Rubin for giving the boys their sound back. They totally lost it with St. Anger but I'm really overjoyed to say that they are back with a vengence. The songs are pure rock/metal gold. Unlike St. Anger where I only took a shine to a couple of the songs, I loved the entire album of Death magnetic. Was it worth the wait? YOU BET IT WAS!
Every thing, every instrument, every solo, every melody is exactly the way it should be and expect from a Metallica album. The songs will keep fans of the xbox 360 racing to victory while Metallica is playing in the background. Also End of the line is perfect to play while playing a shoot'em up.
The only thing that i didn't like about the Digipack was that they made the cover a sort of 3d effect. Right at the back cover you have the white/silver coffin and the rest of the pages are cut out to symbolise the layers of dirt surrounding it, which means that the holes blank out HALF OF THE WORDS ON EACH PAGE! Other than that the album is definately one of those top purchases for any Metallica fan and metal fan. Once again the boys do give you the buyer value for money like they did with Master and Justice. All songs are nearly 8 minutes in length except for Suicide which is almost 10 minutes long.
WELCOME BACK GUYS!
This was an exceptionally bold move on Metallica's part, after the napster debacle allowing this to be released without any say so from them on the final cut is just worthy of so much respect and if they lost any fans over it, then they weren't fans to begin with.
Metallica Forever Man..This group has been through hell..to those who got no respect for them..lmaaaaaao..too bad!..Metallica Rules!..Forever..get used to it!..lol..
