I just finished this "movie" and I have divided impressions.
If I look at this as a concert DVD:
If I look at this as a movie or a music video:
If I look at this as a concert DVD:
- I would give anything to see such a production live at least once in a lifetime.
- Stage, props, production, visual appearance... awesome.
- Lars is worse than on "St. Anger" tour in 2004, but better than on "Black" tour in 2012.
- That gambol, even after more than a decade, has not become an integral part of Metallica for me, and I continue to regard him as a foreign body and a temporary replacement.
- Overall impression of this concert is about 8/10.
If I look at this as a movie or a music video:
- Good production and editing.
- Over-the-top, meaningless, confusing story.
- What does this have to do with Metallica or the concert?
- Painfully boring. I was about to give up on it after just half an hour, and I barely forced myself to endure. The last third or less was slightly better, but music alone stopped me from giving up on it.
- WTF is in the bag?!
- Overall movie impression is about 3/10.
