Our Review Editorial
Five decades, from the pubs of East London to the largest stadiums on earth, with the official archives thrown open: this documentary charts Iron Maiden's rise using the recollections of band members past and present as its spine. Interviews with contributors including Javier Bardem, Lars Ulrich and Chuck D widen the frame beyond metal, while new animated sequences give Eddie, the band's mascot, a life of his own on screen.
Fans are the obvious audience, but it is built to travel further — a story about stubborn vision and an unusually devoted global following. Expect a brisk hour and three quarters, archive depth, and the pleasure of a band talking candidly about its own mythology rather than polishing it. If you like music documentaries that take their subject seriously without turning solemn, this is a loud, generous and thoroughly enjoyable watch.
