Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem - A Klok Opera

Im not going to lie... I was a bit skeptical when I heard about a Metalocalypse Opera but after sitting through the first 5 minutes of the movie all my fears were quickly washed away!

I'm a massive Metalocalypse fan, been one since day one. The over the top black humor and references along with the all the wonderful satire and cliché's make it without a doubt one of the best TV shows of the last 10 years in my opinion and this 46 minute special is absolutely on par with the rest of the shows material. Its big, its dark, its bombastic and it stays true to the shows comedy styling, it's hilarious.

If you are expecting a 46 minute episode then you will be disappointed. It is exactly what it says it is, an Opera. There is singing and music throughout the entire movie so if you are one of those people that just can't stand musicals then maybe this one isn't for you. I am usually like that but I found this an absolute joy to sit through.

I'm not going to go through the story of the film as I think that's something that you should find out for yourself but the story of the movie does pick up where Season 4 left off. If you are a Metalocalypse fan or even just a fan of heavier music or the darker side of comedy I'd say that this is definitely for you. It is undoubtedly one of the hidden gems of 2013, Brendon Small has done it again!

Brendon Small has delivered yet another symphony of brutal perfection. Together with Jack Black, Malcolm McDowell, and Mark Hamill, he has crafted something so entertaining, weird, and utterly metal, that the word opera barely registers. This is what the spawn of darkness and orchestra would look like as it slithered into your brain, your dreams, your sickest desires. I loved it as much as all of Metalocalypse.

Enjoy!

As mentioned I don't like musical genre for films, but this case is the opposite. I couldn't move my attention from the show for the whole 45 minutes.

After watching the entire serie we reach this crucial point of the story. We started playing and see duration though about a special chapter like joining a few into a single one.

Didn't expected to be a musical, as didn't look at the chapter title before playing it. The first impression was good, as the music introduces well, then is song after song in a nice combination of storytelling and music.

It is so the case that personally I like even more than the movie that closes the serie. I fully recommend it.

Please, ignore the negative reviews written by mouth-breathers with no taste trashing this special: One of them thinks that The Hot Chick with Rob Schneider is a good movie, and that should be enough to tell you what they know.

This is a great finale for the fourth season of Metalocalypse, and is such a shame the fifth season was cancelled. Fortunately, a new movie is being made, but just because some buffons with no taste disliked it had nothing to do with the cancellation of the series. (It has much more to do with the.stinginess of Adult Swim and their reluctance to invest money in quality animated shows instead of boring live-action sitcoms)

Its not like the show and is its own thing. Think about the work put in to making new music for everything. I love the music and the vibe. Its funny too.

Brandon Small will always be an inspiration.
