About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an in-depth music documentary packed with studio process and concert footage, especially if you liked Metallica: Some Kind of Monster or Metallica: S&M; Not for you if you want a tight, polished overview.
Pros: strong behind-the-scenes access; lots of live performances; fun band chemistry | Cons: shaky presentation; uneven pacing; less natural at times
