Heavy Metal Britannia Audience Reviews

VividSimon Simply Perfect
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Phil Carmody (FatPhil) I loved seeing all that old footage, and it was great to hear so many of the "gods of metal" talking about how they viewed the development of the genre. However, they jumped around in time like H.G. Wells' pet crack monkey.For example: Don't show clips of Breakin' the Law while you're discussing the early to mid 70s. Don't play Breadfan while you're discussing the mid-to-late 70s.This could have been so much better if only they'd not tried to deceive you about which music/video snippets occurred when.And quite what an original piece from Metallica was doing in the music, I don't know, this was supposed to be about Britain. It would have made sense to bring Metallica in for their plagiarism of Budgie etc., but it makes no sense showcasing their best original work, from the 80s, while trying to present music from the UK in the ~70s.
