Dan S. gave it a10:
Perhaps my favorite movie of all time. As Nigel noted (if I remember it correctly), "there's a fine line between clever and stupid" and this movie is never stuipid. It's hilarious.
Colm M. gave it a10:
A classic in every sense.
Dave K. gave it a10:
Great movie! The satirical content in this is great, any big band would think this is hilarious.
William W. gave it a9:
I just picked this up on DVD. Of course, it's a great movie. But I had to wonder whether the Metacritic people realized that the Village Voice review by Jessica Winter to which they assigned a "50" is actually a joke, written as if it were a perfectly serious attempt to use the release of the DVD as the occasion to consider the band's legacy. Or are the Metacritic people just going along with the joke? With deadpan upon deadpan upon deadpan, it gets hard to tell.
Kyle M. gave it a10:
The tasteless cover is a good indication of the lack of cinematic invention within. The musical growth of this cast cannot even be charted. They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry. Great movie.
Jeff F. gave it a9:
Very funny. One drummer choked on someone elses vomit. I wish Metalica some kind of monster would have been this good.
tru g. gave it a10:
