    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)ers of Metallica during their shrink and rehearsal sessions. That's certainly not spectacularly filmed but pretty interesting. especially for fans. Seeing such huge stars being regular human beings with flaws and feelings is simply pretty comforting to know. Although their road to a new harmony does not come with a recipe for all to follow it still ends pretty climatic. How they finish their record "St. Anger" and especially shoot their video at St. Quentin prison and go on stage for the first time in three years is made of goosebumps.

    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)hrowing Dave Mustaine out of the band due to jealousy), James Hetfield, the alcoholic, Kirk Hammett, the whipped one, and Jason Newsted, the one who's fed up with all the bullying. A band is like a marriage, and this is a great example of one on the rocks.

    Douchebags. Clash of the egomaniacs. Here we have the story of a bunch of spoiled rock stars who need to grow up. Kirk seems like a pretty nice guy, in fairness, but I wanted to kill Lars & James. I am not even a Metallica fan. My boyfriend suggested I watch this. He though...( read more)t it was superb. I just laughed and rolled my eyes.

    I don' care what anyone says, St. Anger was such an awesome album, and I've been listening to them since Ride the LIghtning. To see these guys at their most vulnerable is proof of the the essential fallacy of the rockstar lifestyle. It allways catches up to you some day.

    I'm a fan of the band, but its a little too much whining. I'd rather se Metalicas rise than its slow demise into mediocrity.
