Metallica: Some Kind of Monster Reviews
Snippets of the band’s brutally percussive music punctuate the endless encounter sessions, which expose the musicians’ boundless self-absorption...
Full Review | Jun 29, 2022
Raw docu shows band at a low point; frequent cursing.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 25, 2017
A mostly terrific documentary about a mostly terrible album. Despite derisory poor-me whining, it captures fragility and fear in Metallica's questioned relevancy, considered disbandment and the closest things to tears they can muster for each other.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 19, 2010
An entertaining and penetrating look at the creative process

Metallica: Some Kind Of Monster is a masterpiece of rock 'n roll documentary filmmaking, and has set the bar high for those who attempt it in the future.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 5, 2005
Overlong, but interesting documentary of heavy metal band Metallica.
Full Review | Original Score: B | Feb 1, 2005
Probing study of dysfunctional heavy metal band

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 13, 2005
A magnificent documentary! I talked about it for seven days afterwards.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 4, 2005
What the film lacks in music, it makes up for with emotional upheavals and conflict.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 17, 2004
It's hard for me to grok why Metallica is the most popular or the most hated heavy-metal band there ever was.
Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Nov 19, 2004
Who else would give documentary filmmakers this kind of access to their lives? I'll tell you who: Anna Nicole Smith, and any of the has-beens from The Surreal Life.
Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 18, 2004
You don't need to be a Metallica fan to appreciate this well-done documentary.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 9, 2004
Easier to like and admire than the album that spawned it.
