Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

ooklahdamoc I remember when there were two camps in Heavy Metal. There were the poseur pussy camp who listened to Bon Jovi, Poison, Warrant, Motley Crue, etc. and then there was the true heavy metal or thrash metal camp that listened to Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth, etc. To this day I can remember when Cliff died because to heavy metal fans this was our "JFK" moment where you knew exactly where you were and what you were doing when you found out Cliff had died. Everyone thought Metallica was finished but Jason joined the band, "Garage Days" came out and the rest is history. Kirk Hammett said that there was only one bunk on the bus, so him and Cliff flipped a coin and Kirk lost. Think how different things would be if that coin flip would have come out differently. Not only did Kirk lose the coin flip, but everyone who loved Cliff lost that day too. R.I.P. Cliff you will always be loved and missed.

MisterWhiplash Metallica in 1986 got perpetually shattered when bassist Cliff Burton died one of the more tragic and unexpected deaths in rock history. In the interim of finding a new bass player, they compiled together this very rough, raw collection of performances, back stage footage, screwing around footage, drunken bits, and just random shots of them doing stuff. It's amateurishly shot, but in the very 80s metal way that Metallica was then it's a kind of charmingly amateurish way. Sometimes the quality ranges from song to song, with some stretches being a little better than others (the first two songs are the rougher ones, with someone in the nose bleed section with one zoom in and out camera). Best is seeing the group play in Germany- where there are multiple cameras used- and songs like 'Fade to Black' and 'Seek and Destroy' get very good treatments to tremendous live performances of each. There are also memorable turns of 'Whiplash' (my personal favorite from Kill Em All with a much better than average bass solo by Cliff), and 'Creeping Death', and one of their very best 'Welcome (Sanitarium)', even with just one cam and deteriorating sound/picture quality it, for lack of a better term for this review, rules.The behind the scenes footage is also worth it for any collector or just casual fan, as you see more-than-rare TV interviews, and even the group in their pre-Kill 'Em All time with Dave Mustaine (he also performs on Whiplash in another ultra rare appearance). It's sometimes funny, crude, f***-off-ish, but they're always realer and far less stuck up and estranged as in the recent Some Kind of Monster. This is a band at the real peak of their powers, and the musicianship is tight as can be even as Hammet or Burton brash through their solos like their on their way to the electric chair. Sometimes the off-kilter quality of the filming does get in the way- especially when someone's head gets in the way of the camera- but it's not as often as might be expected. It's un-polished but very memorable, and should be apart of any serious fan of metal; as it is there is quite the lot that have a dis-liking to Metallica of the post-Black album (or even Black album on), to which this is like the perfect shot of Kill em All through Master of Puppets live memorabilia. As much a fitting tribute as it is a pretty good video in its own right.

evan Yes Cliff Burton, one of the greatest bassists ever who sadly died before his talent could be greatly appreciated. In this collection of videos you get and inside look at who Cliff really was. You see home videos, concert clips and jam sessions. As you see his jaw dropping bass solos. Not only that but you get the chance to see a legendary band in their early years before the mainstream took them away and fed their egos until that was all that they had. Before napster, before St.Anger. The early years... the good years. From Kill em' all to Master of puppets marvel at the greatness of this band, marvel at the talent of Cliff Burton. 8/10 Great look at a great band in the early years.

macleod261 I bought this movie on DVD about a year ago and it is awesome. It's like your at a metallica concert and your seeing all the band members Cliff, James, Lars, and Kirk. It is an amazing film as they perform all their hits from the albums Kill Em All to Master Of Puppets. You even get to see them drunk, solos, and footage of Cliff and an early clip of Metallica when Dave Mustaine was in the band. Imagine your in a band and your band acheiveing so much that Metallica has achieved throughout the years. In The DVD/VHS they have a rare interveiw with an early Metallica with Dave Mustaine and they have Cliff's 2nd gig on the video. Whoever got this on tape I thank you.Sincerely Metallica's BIGGEST Fan
