News Burning Ambition Documentary

[AlexN]

I saw the movie twice yesterday, first at a press screening and then at the Istanbul premiere in Turkey. I really liked it. There isn’t a lot of new material for fans like us, of course, but the story is told in a very sincere way. And Javier Bardem absolutely steals the show. His contribution is fantastic, bringing both depth and a touch of humor to the documentary.

A few things feel missing, though, most notably Martin Birch. I don’t even recall him being mentioned. But that’s okay, it’s more about the band’s overall journey.

Still, seeing this story on the big screen for their 50th anniversary felt truly special, and I’m really happy I got to experience it like this.

The funniest omission to me was the fact that to my memory, the song the film is named after was nowhere to be heard.

why steve and janick are not there?

If Janick's not at a Middlesbrough screening I want my money back!

Janick "every moment not on stage or an Irish pub is a wasted moment" Gers

And people have the guts to call him a fool.

Now they have the offical film "art"-work even as a Tee at their web store. I really love a lot of their shirts, but this AI-crap can't be for real...

It’s not AI - I think I saw somewhere how it was painted/created.

It is crap, but not AI generated. They shared a video of the artist creating the artwork.

I agree - it's not good looking.

Nice to see Blaze looking so at ease with the other band members, along with playing at Eddfest this must be the closest he`s been with Maiden in years.
