Pretty good documentary capturing the difficult birth of Metallicas album St. Anger. I'm not huge on Metallica, but this is a must see for anyone interested in how hard creative collaboration can be. The clash of egos between Hetfield and Ulrich are unnerving, and you truly understand what monster of expectation Metallica has become for it's members. Watch for a hilarious scene when the bands therapist is fired. -- Why didn't anyone think of doing a documentary about Massive Attack's Mezzanine?

A documentary about a terrible album. Provides some interesting moments, and I enjoy watching bands record and work in the studio. I'm not a Metallica fan though, so I wouldn't really recommend this unless you like them a lot.

A very well done documentary about the sad state of a once-great rock band. Hetfield and Ulrich's conflict of personalities is as fascinating as it is hilarious - you couldn't write these characters.

As awkwardly assembled as it is (they find the new bassist in the last 10 minutes??!), there's a lot of meat to chew on in this comprehensive rockumentary even at 140 minutes (and I'm still eager to watch the 10 hours of bonus material on the DVD). But the elephant in the room about this film is that after all this hype and build-up and the album sucked; I wish they could've included an epilogue dealing with the album's criticisms.

The biggest heavy metal band in therapy. That's what this is and the idea sounds interesting but some how seeing it in practise just isn't as cool as the idea sounds in first place. The documentary is just too long and it just recycles things over and over again. There are some moments that makes the movie watchable and one of 'em is the scene with Dave Mustaine.
