This movie has D. B. Weiss as writer and D. Benioff as Producer, that is the glorious masterminds (or inglorious if you think about the poor final season) behind the thrilling Game of Thrones TV series, partially based on the novels by George R. R. Martin.
And the music of the movie is from none other than Ramin Djawadi, that is the musician that wrote the beautiful main titles and soundtrack of all the 8 seasons of Game of Thrones.
Setting aside the eighth and final season (strongly criticized by almost all), Game of Thrones was definitely one of the most rewarding storytelling experience in the last few decades.
Unfortunately the same isn't true for this movie.
While the main idea is good the many storylines apparently go haphazardly.
We have no really interesting or likeable main character ( Hunter in particular is a real prick while Emily and Kevin are the most non-metal teenager I ever saw), we have interrupted plots (Game of Thrones season 8?) we have impossible timelines (Game of Thrones season 8 again?), we have a mess that mixes too much stories together and that goes nowhere. We can see the three-member band playing together only at the end of the movie, but the way that they get there is really absurd.
All in all it is not a really bad movie and I found it mildly entertaining, but metal and rock music aren't the real center of the stories and "Metal Lords" is not even remotely comparable to the great and lovely "School of rock".
Five stars out of ten.
