Nick Schager The Daily Beast 08/21/2023
Prepare to bang your head and raise your horns to what is surely the most epically metal release of 2023—and a satisfying conclusion to a gonzo parody par excellence. Go to Full Review
Brian Costello Common Sense Media 09/06/2023
3/5
The movie is full of silly sight gags that are pretty over the top. The exaggeration isn't so much mockery as it is a celebration of heavy metal culture, for all its bombast and fantasy elements. Go to Full Review

Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar deserves to be met by deafening screams in favor of an encore. Go to Full Review
John Serba Decider 08/25/2023
Army of the Doomstar doesn’t click on all cylinders like the best Metalocalypse episodes, but it’s nevertheless a worthy conclusion to a beloved cult series. Go to Full Review
Toussaint Egan Polygon 08/25/2023
Epic as a descriptor is thrown around too often as a hyperbolic compliment, but Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar rightfully warrants that description and then some. Go to Full Review
Andy Crump Paste Magazine 08/24/2023
8.0/10
If it’s hard to be a rock god, then it’s even harder to be a metal fan tasked with finding love, warmth, and empathy in a genre popularly and unjustly seen as lacking all of the above. That Small handily succeeds...is a black metal miracle. Go to Full Review

Manuel P Nov 27 Love the music, the plot makes no sense. The animation is terrible. See more Lari U 04/27/2024 Visually impressive, but lacking in humor and seeming to take itself way more seriously than it has any business to. That something that was essentially Metalocalypse so long ago just isn't there. See more Hayden S 04/01/2024 It was a decent send-off to the series. Something I gave up hope on ever getting. It likely doesn't stand on it's own too well being a sequel to a musical following up a 4 season show from a decade ago, but as a long time fan of the show it was a fantastic send-off to the series. Thanks Brendan Smalls. See more Mitchell H 02/16/2024 Joyless, humorless and plodding.Sweet wrap up at the end, but a long wait for anything engaging. Just uninspired. See more Zero One Z 10/31/2023 Finally an ending to the Metalocalypse 🤘🏻 and one of the best rock metal movies since Doomstar Requiem. I was genuinely worried that Dethklok would be sidelined, and relegated to being nothing more than comic relief with as little screen time as possible. I am a gear in the wheel of the Klok 🤘🏻 💀🕤 🤘🏻 See more Eva D 10/27/2023 Finally, we get the finale. And it was definitely worth the wait. There are a lot of funny bits, but not nearly as comedic as the original series. This was action packed and the team seems to have really upped their game on the animation department. I can't give many details because I hate spoilers, but be prepared to expect the unexpected. If you are a fan, this is an absolute must-see. If you aren't a fan, what's wrong with you?
