My Review-
One of the better music documentaries that I have seen, would have liked it more if I was a avid Metallica listener but I am not, nonetheless I liked this one a lot. I had never knew about how much the band had been through until I watched this and how they almost fell apart and disbanded because of what they were going thorough. Seeing this band through the ups and downs let people get a better understanding of who they were and where they were at that point in their lives that we normally had not seen, even though at times it showed that some of them hated each other. I had only heard a few songs by them and the ones I heard I had really liked, after watching this I wanted to hear some more of their music that that had made throughout the years they were together and they still are together. This was kind of frustrating at times watching what they were going through as a band and seeing at times only one of the band members was trying to hold them together when they could not work together. With it being over 2 hours which is long for a documentary it was quite a watch and took a while to get through but I understood why it was so long. If you really like this band and have never seen this then watch it, and if you have heard some of their songs or actually have heard of them then watch it so you can also get a better understanding of who the band is.
