Movie Reviews of Metalocalypse: Season One
Movie Review: More Metal than Metal
Summary: 5 Stars
I started watching this show on the Adult Swim website & I was hooked. The story surrounds the world's biggest band Dethklok, which is also one of the world's most valuable resources. The band is composed of spoiled & selfish band members that, despite traveling all over the world, are completely out of touch with the outside world. Most of the story covers parts of each band member's life or past, as well as their struggles to do things that ordinary people do (such as grocery shopping). An overlying story arc is of a mysterious group of world leaders that secretly watch the band, worried that they might fulfill an ancient Sumerian prophecy of an apocalypse.
While the show is predominantly aimed towards men aged 16-30, it's humor, animation, & great storylines appeal to a female audience as well. One of the great in-jokes of the series is the name dropping of metal bands or music product names into the series as background names. If you like Robot Chicken, ATHF, or Venture Bros, you are sure to like this series.
Movie Review: Hilarious on many levels
Summary: 5 Stars
So when I was young, I was a huge metal fan and worked on crews for many a metal band. I grew out of it for the most part, but the first time I caught this show on TV I was laughing my butt off.
Mind you, a lot of the humor is really for metal fans and those of you that are not into metal music or never have been may not get some of it, writing it off as stupid. Let me tell you, to the correct audience, this is one of the funniest things ever.
From the song called "Mermaid Murder" on the album of metal that was written for fishes (Not for Human ears), to the 80's rock and roll clown Dr. Rockzo (Who does cocaine), I enjoyed every second of this first season and I am eagerly awaiting the second.
Good thing also that this show is one of those 15 minutes per episode shows because I could see the show getting a bit old after watching for 30 minutes or so.
The characters are funny and well written. I love it.
Movie Review: The show with the Zazz Factor!

**Warning! Contains stuff that might be construed as being spoilers!**
You might think it's all fun and games being in the world's most brutal metal band, but you'd be wrong. Dethklok have it tough. Throngs of insanely loyal fans, nubile groupies and their very own set of Deathcopters aren't much comfort when various entities such as a Scandinavian water troll, a secret government agency and an insane celebrity girlfriend are all trying to destroy them. Moreover, they're always getting into wacky shenanigans and experiencing deep existentialist crises which ultimately help them to (almost) learn important life lessons (sort of). Sure, it's touchy-feely. But it's also TOTALLY METAL. And more importantly, it's probably one of the funniest shows I've seen lately. I'm not a big Adult Swim fan, but this is one gem of a show. And the DVD set DOES have special features...you've just got to play around with your remote to find them all.
Movie Review: Woah...Brutal

Metalocalypse... I shouldn't really have to say more but I'd love to anyway. I was channel surfing one night and came across the best show Adult Swim has to offer, and changed the channel. It was halfway through the episode and I didn't know what was going on. Later, a buddy of mine told me to watch it. We watched Dethwater and I was hooked. This show is great for any fan Metal fan or not. Now I have introduced to a lot of my friends. Even ones that can't stand heavy metal, and they can attest to the greatness of this show. Five friggin stars. Anyone, who's already a fan of Adult Swim shows, should have no problem getting quickly attached to this show.

Summary: 5 Stars
Metalocalypse is probably one of the greatest satire projects for metal EVER!!! Yet, similar to Spinal Tap, the music is brilliantly stunning. With a combination like this, it's no wonder that it did as well as it did on Cartoon Network. So it doesn't matter if you are male or female. It doesn't mater if you like Metal or Classical. As long as you have a sense of humor, and an open mind this is one of the best cartoon series you could ever watch. Let's also not forget to mention it's as unique as you can get. Never have I seen a cartoon that was music based be so original in story. So if you are now interested in buying Season One, and you have read not just mine, but everyone's reviews. I think it's clear to say, GO BUY IT NOW!!!!!
