Review of Metallica: Some Kind of Monster (2004) by Jens S — 06 May 2008
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 members 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.
