I have been listening to heavy metal since my formative years. And I mostly felt like hardly anyone listens to metal nowadays, nobody appreciates this great genre of music. Previously pop songs also sounded like hair metal, now it doesn't sound the same. I went through similar things through high school and university being a metal head myself. So the 10 star rating is for the way it made me feel. \ / Keep supporting \m/

I really enjoyed this movie, not just because I like metal but because it speaks of adolescence, of friendship, bullies, virgins, geeks, love and most importantly for me, it includes mental health as a real every day issue. Sweet movie.

I wasn't really expecting a whole lot from the 2022 comedy "Metal Lords" from writer D. B. Weiss and director Peter Sollett as I sat down to watch the movie. Why? Well, first of all I hadn't heard about the movie, so I wasn't sure what I was in for here. And secondly, then the synopsis for the movie just seemed a bit too generic for a movie of this kind. But still, I opted to watch "Metal Lords". Turns out that "Metal Lords" was actually rather enjoyable. Sure, it was somewhat on the generic side in terms of innovation and creativity for a movie such as this. But still, it proved to be an enjoyable and entertaining movie. And that was definitely a large part because of the cast and their performances. But the storyline certainly was adequate enough. Lead actors Adrian Greensmith (playing Hunter) and Jaeden Martell (playing Kevin) were rather well-cast for "Metal Lords", and they carried the movie quite well. I will say that "Metal Lords" was definitely a movie suited for me, because I've been listening to metal since I was around 11 or 12 years old or so, and been playing roleplaying games for that very same amount of time, and I am almost 47 by now. So the metal references and the Dungeons & Dragons references throughout the movie were as if tailored for my interests. I was genuinely entertained by "Metal Lords", because it was a movie that transcended being just another run-of-the-mill movie about youngsters forming a metal band and going against the mainstream. There were also good elements of friendship, love, being an outsider and not a bland face in the crowd, and such, so it was a well-rounded movie. My rating of "Metal Lords" lands on a seven out of ten stars.

Metal Lord's is a film that doesn't know if it wants to be a coming if age film, commentary on mental health or heavy metal cliche flick. The bigger issue is it kinda fails at all of those. The biggest crime however is the mistreatment of metal culture, which you can tell was handled by out of touch 'metal' fans from many years ago.

Took me back to high school, back when rock was king and nobody besides the japanese had to worry about 16 year old girls topping the charts all the time. I laughed, I got pissed off, I rooted for the underdog, I freaked out when a bunch of rock gods suddenly appeared to give life advice. Watch out for the kids who star in this movie, you're going to be seeing alot from them in the future. They're metal.

While it starts out slowly and in somewhat a disjointed way, this grows into a movie that draws a poignant and affectionate insight into the angst and aspirations of teenage metal nerds. It doesn't judge, but gives a fairly rounded view of some young people learning to find themselves. It has all the usual elements of a high school drama - the awkward nerds, the arrogant sports jock, the bemused teachers, the confused parents. The final scene at the battle of the bands is just comic excellence and embodies the ecstacy of the band leader, Hunter, who has learned to grow from an obnoxious loud-mouth into a sensitive and reflective person with a sense of perspective. This is a gem and didn't disappoint.

A coming-of-age story following the typical high school losers, however the difference here is that they are shaped by death metal. Likely to be compared to School of Rock as the only other light-hearted high school rock film, it's not quite as funny, nor heartwarming or endearing, but it is still a lot of fun, with great references, developmental character arcs, and a killer soundtrack. It does look, however, like Tom Morello as producer pushed Rage Against the Machine into a position where they are regarded in the plot as conquerers of a genre they're not often paired with.
