Somewhere there is a sweet story in it, but it is very poorly developed. It's also not funny at all.

I don't think the makers of Metal Lords care much for metal. After years it was the underdog to sing a cappella at school or in a glee club it's now up to metal music. The makers also know that their audience is not metal fans, but the Netflix viewer. So the focus is mainly on a high school story with a bully, a competition and a small love story. We get acquainted with some classics from the genre and even though the film does not do anything special, it does have the necessary charm. Also nice that we come across 4 metal icons as cameos. Nice movie, but nothing special.

A sympathetic film that goes according to the book. Not really metal, in terms of atmosphere this film is much more pop than the title suggests. Anyway, a Netflix production about a bunch of misfits at a high school… what more can you expect?

The pace is variable in this film, and sometimes it drags a bit, especially in the second act. But apart from that, the story is a feast of recognition for me as a lover of hard rock and metal: from the misfits at school, to the bullying and the outlet in music.

The film shows well what metal can mean for fans, and how they can draw strength from this loud music, which is often wrongly dismissed as noise for many.

I could enjoy the great feast of recognition the most: from famous shirts, posters, the soundtrack, guitar riffs, famous cameos to the homework list with classic songs. With almost everything I thought: oh yes, that one, and that one! I saw that one live, and that one, and that one, and that one, and that song is really great, and so on.

But apart from all the metal stuff, this is mainly a typical high school film about three main characters who each have to choose their own path. But if that is supported by music from Iron Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest, Guns n' Roses and Black Sabbath I can certainly enjoy it for an evening.

3.5*
