It's like Netflix decided to make a less funny Napoleon Dynamite and target the "metalhead kid" demographic, except they didn't really understand metal culture so that metal ended up taking a back seat to a perfectly pedestrian coming of age story.
Sure, there's a lot of name dropping and the posters on the bedroom walls will make you 'ooh' and 'aah' in the beginning. But soon you'll realize this movie has nothing special, no character, nothing to set it apart aside from the predictably trite message of "being a young awkward misfits sucks but hey, life gets better so just hang in there, kid!"
I have no idea why they even bothered trying to inject the whole metal thing in here if they weren't going to actually understand or respect it.
Pass.
