 "Metallica: Some Kind of Monster" - Salon
"Metallica: Some Kind of Monster," Metallica drummer and co-founder Lars Ulrich reflects on the global phenomenon his band has become.
I don't know how much I buy any aspect of that statement, but it's a revealing comment, and one that speaks directly to the contradictions of this fascinating movie from Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky (directors of "Brother's Keeper" and "Paradise Lost"), which veers unpredictably between wrenching psychodrama and "Spinal Tap"-style mockumentary.
"Some Kind of Monster" depicts a major rock band in near-total meltdown, but very little of it goes the way you'd expect.

 JoBlo's movie review of Metallica: Some Kind of Monster
One of the first albums that turned me on to the heavier side of rock was "Kill 'Em All" by a very young Metallica, featuring their first ever bassist Cliff Burton, who died in a bus accident a few years after that.
I bring this up because I think it's important to have some perspective or appreciation for these guys and/or their music, in order to fully get into this 140-minute meditation on what went wrong with them in the past few years.
I was intrigued throughout this entire documentary mostly because it showed these great musicians as "real people" with a variety of issues amongst one another, most of which anyone who's been around any sort of tight-knit group, community of family can relate to.

 Metallica: Some Kind Of Monster - Movie Review
Metallica: Some Kind of Monster, Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky’s documentary about the trials and tribulations surrounding the making of that comeback album, however, is a full-blown opera of metallic drama, passion, and misery.
Filled with the torment and rage that fuels the band’s finest work, it’s a piercing vision of an iconic band teetering on the brink of collapse, and a fascinating portrait of the creative process as explosive, potentially destructive, and, ultimately, cathartic.
Throughout, Berlinger and Sinofsky capture intimate moments of doubt and regret, including an astonishing reunion between Ulrich and original guitarist Dave Mustaine (who later founded rival speed metal outfit Megadeth) that conveys the wreckage left in the wake of Metallica’s faster-than-thou approach to music and life.
