    I saw this movie tonight.

    I found it interesting and liked it.

    When they were talking about having a record without Kirk's solos ( and he looked crestfallen about it) I felt like chiming in and saying but "your fans LOVE those parts of the songs, don't leave 'em out!!!!"

    I liked all those parts where they were in therapy talking too. :)

    I'm not going to read all of the posts as it seems there's a lot of bitching going on. I have seen the film in the cinema and I own it one DVD. I must have watched it about 10times now. I think it is so great. I disagree with some of the points I have seen "mike is better than kirk" and what not but I don't feel like getting into a huge argument that has no end.

    My opinion on the film is that Metallica come out of looking better/stronger than they ever have. I was worried when Jason left/St.Anger came out that I would never get to see the real Metallica live and that they are past it.

    Well from a live point of view I have seen them and I thought it was as good as any of the DVDs...live shit, cunning stunts...just as good. They played great, it sounded great and the set list was really good. It's amazing how well the songs from St.Anger translate live. Alot of my friends who didn't like he album really enjoyed the songs live.

    I think watching the film helps you appriciate St.Anger more as an album.

    I find it quite hard to watch the old Metallica now...seeing James drunk and acting macho after seeing him being real in the film...werid. I think everyone comes out well in the film.

    James goes from having a lot of problems and being a real dick to being a level headed and very real person.

    Bob Rock is shown in a good light and just how much he is apart of Metallica. Though this can already be seen in "A year and half in the life..." how different are the two films !?!?!

    Kirk comes across as laid back but the film shows his personality. We don't normally hear a lot from him but I think the film shows him as a funny/genuine guy.

    Lars...well Lars is just what he is. Loud and not worried about offending people. Even Jason came out well. I've always liked his attitude....shame the extras make him look like a bit of a dick though!

    So yeah great film...stop bitching and picking holes in the film just because the way they do things doesn't conform to your ideas.

    P.S I think seeing a band like that sitting down and talking is good. It's funny how in life we often hold back or don't say what we really feel. My own band have been doing a lot of talking recently and I think it really helps...so yeah I think the film was good.
