| | 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. |
