Some Kind of Monster is without doubt the best ever look into the life of a world famous band ever put on film.

This film shows Metallica at there lowest, after Jason Newsted's departure and James Hetfield's trip to rehab Metallica are at breaking point during the writing and recording of the St Anger album. This documentry really does show everything; and I think Metallica were very brave to put out such a relieving documentry.

The film goes into great detail about the band's past and what it is like to be surronded by money and fame. The film is very raw and it is a great accompaniment to the album St Anger.

However I think this film is enjoyable even to a non Metallica fan. I can watch this film as a Metallica fan with my mum who doesn't like Metallica's music. This film is more about the journey of old friends bringing up history and years of anger than about Metallica specifically.
