I sometimes give bad-ish movies 5 stars if there's at least a bit of entertainment to be had. But aside from some good music and a few moments here and there, this is a poorly executed series of clichés that feels far too long than it actually is. I like the actors and theme, but they just get buried under the weight of all the usual stereotypes. A shame, since I was really expecting to be charmed by this one.

@mariposuki totally, I saw some reviews saying finally a true depiction of metal. To me this was just using metal as a way of making the main kid angry before he becomes nice again. This really wasn't at all very metal to me and having everyone just start swearing because their metal too. It has a few good parts but was quite forced

@miposuki Perhaps they just need a triumphant video.

Metal Lords' script misses the mark. Many of the characters stem from outdated high school stereotypes. The final arc feels rushed with the story stumbling onward quickly past important emotional beats.

Hidden under the harmless guise of a teen comedy, Metal Lords brings us a funny story about chasing our dreams, about young love and, above all, about heavy metal. Because there is love and respect for the genre in every scene and every choice of subject. Tom Morello's hand as producer can be appreciated.

Of the leading trio, only Adrian Greensmith and Isis Hainsworth stand out, especially the latter. Her character, full of problems, manages to become three-dimensional thanks to her gestures, which are totally natural for an actress with so little experience.

Metal Lords is fun, not just for music fans, but for anyone who wants to see a film without overly complex plots and without excessive over-the-top or violent scenes.

As a metalhead I would have loved to enjoy this but as others have said very much feels like the standard sterotypical highschool douche to good guy movie but with metal as a way of reasoning it. Also it seemed in some areas like it was trying to say classic metal was good but newer metal like Slipknot was bad as they had none of it played and her reacting bad and I really hate that type of metal eliteism.

The good, there was some good ish music and joe manganiello is always a plus but with the forced romance, over egging on swearing and sterotypes it fell short for me.

Hunter was poorly cast he definitely is not metal. He did his best and the movie was decent. Good soundtrack

This has to be the most metal and the least metal movie I've ever seen. If you just focus on the soundtrack, use of music and the references it is a on the same level as Hesher (2010). However if you focus on the overall feel of the movie this is a pg-13 kids movie like School of Rock (2003) .
It's like it was written by a metalhead turned parent, sugarcoating, completely ignoring why many of us turn to metal as an escape.
It doesn't always need to be dark and grim but in Hesher the metal felt less forced. Maybe if they had turned this into a 8 episode season where we had a chance to see Kevin go from normie to full metal. Emily finding strength in metal to overcome her demons and Hunter struggling with his parent issues we also had more time to spend on the "training montage", friendship, romance and shenanigans.
Some things were really well done, charming, funny and other parts were boring, cliché or fell completely flat. Meh a 7 in the hopes we get a better sequel.

Super corny but I can see it being a hit among teens. Killer soundtrack, though.

Yes, the movie is similar to what you have seen before, but the cast are good, the script is warm and funny, and the movie as a whole is mostly enjoyable.

Lots of clichés, nothing new. To watch in a Sunday afternoon on the couch, because if you fall asleep, you dont waste any time.

Just another sleeky teen comedy without anything new, but for a metalhead like me it was quite enjoyable.
Starring Steven Wilson, Paul Giamatti on a support role and the cameos of Kirk Hammett, Rob Halford, Scott Ian, Tom Morello (and the mention to Opeth). Kudos also for the soundtrack.
