Big positive surprise. The movie goes through all the band members, all years, albums, tours, worst times, and a few big moments for the music world. Good to see Iron Maiden from different perspectives and how they helped and united people in all parts of the world. I can’t tell you how cool I think it is that Poland takes good couple of minutes here. And I’m not talking only about the wedding story which I think everyone is pretty familiar with by now anyway, but the political situation in my country in 1984 and that someone back then and now still cares about that. Great important addition in form of opinions and experiences shared by other musicians, actors, journalists…

I was not expecting to see Javier Bardem in this. I love Iron Maiden so much. I somehow managed to fall asleep at their concert in 2024. Legendary Band, they will forever live on as one of the greatest metal bands ever!!

Between this and 29 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE, Maiden seems to be dominating 2026 Metal in Pop Culture! While Im a casual MAIDEN fan, I was really intrigued by this rock doc as I’m a fan of the “hero’s journey” structure these visual chronicles usually adhere to. Now, this is just a theory and not a proclamation, but right before I sat down to watch, I looked at one review on Letterboxd that claimed much of the film was “enhanced” by AI. So I started the film in earnest and was really digging it, but then a supposed CG animation came up that looked a little TOO good, which spawned my questioning the use of AI…and then noticed that…

I really appreciated the creative decision to avoid showing the band members as they tell their tale and instead focus on the 50 years worth of archival footage/stills to paint it’s portrait. I’m a massive Iron Maiden nut so there wasn’t a whole load of this that was new to me but that didn’t stop me and some of my fellow metallers from getting all misty-eyed as the credits rolled. *Loved some of the new Eddie footage 🤘

i’ve been a fan of iron maiden ever since my dad scared me by showing the cover of his powerslave tape (another album he traumatized me with was king diamond’s eye of the witch, thanks old man), so i knew i was going to feel a lot of emotions seeing them on the big screen in dolby sound. at the end of the day, this is a fairly standard documentary that doesn’t really go into anything you wouldn’t already know if you’re a hardcore fan, and to be sure, this is for the hardcore fans. the band members don’t appear on screen, instead they’re speaking over archived footage which is okay, i guess, but i think it would’ve hit more…

There is no music more life-affirming than heavy metal, and there is no heavy metal band more life-affirming than Iron Maiden. Fuck yes. Transcendent. Nearly brought me to tears more than once. Up the irons!

Man it’s so cool to see something like this on the big screen, if you’re a Maiden Head then you’ve got to make the effort to see Burning Ambition on the big screen this weekend for sure! Burning Ambition dispenses with the talking heads documentary format for the band and crew, as you would see in something like Flight 666, instead it’s a collection of archival material of the band, and the talking heads this time around are the fans themselves, headlined by Javier Bardem in perhaps the most animated mood I’ve ever seen him, he and all the fans gathered to be a part of this documentary come from such a wide variety of walks of life, but all…

Iron Maiden. Ett av världens största band. Den svenska arbetarklassen favoritband nummer ett. Jag hade gärna sett nån timme till. Vill inte gnälla men animationerna med Eddie kunde vart bättre och längre. Iron Maiden är som korv med bröd, har alltid varit med, ibland har man förnekat att man älskar det men det kommer alltid tillbaka.

Was this a puff piece to inflate their value before selling their catalogue? Maybe. Did they use AI? Maybe. Did it make me feel all warm and fuzzy about my favourite band? Yes.

I really love Iron Maiden, but once again, I’ve ended up watching a lackluster documentary like this. Among the most frustrating aspects are the lack of in-depth, investigative storytelling and the director’s heavy reliance on audio-only voiceovers interspersed with fan testimonials rather than on-camera band interviews. Furthermore, the CGI and animated sequences featuring their mascot, Eddie, can feel disjointed from the historical archival footage

Decent documentary, but if you’re a fan of the band and have been following them since the beginning, there’s probably nothing in here you don’t already know. Still good to see some great live performances to some epically HUGE crowds. Show it to some youngster who doesn’t know who they are and blow their (piece of) mind!

Chuck D.: “The artwork captured me before I even heard a sound”. It was the same for me. The summer of 1981, the International Youth Camp in St. Austell, where I met two extremely cool girls who were into hard rock. I wasn’t. I was still sniffing around at things like The Specials, The Cure, U2 etc. They took me to a record store and they bought the new Iron Maiden single ‘Purgatory’. I was overwhelmed by that perfect image…

Iron Maiden fue una de mis primeras introducciones al metal cuando era pequeño. Recuerdo quedar completamente extasiado con los sonidos, con las guitarras, la batería, la voz tan operática de Bruce Dickinson. Toda esta mezcla de sonidos tan agresivos y la vez tan hermoso, me marcó para siempre. De igual forma toda la estética que rodeaba la banda me llamó mucho la atención. El fuego, las calaveras, los colores, los rayos. Era como presenciar una película de Carpenter, una cinta…

Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition is almost impossible for me to dislike. As an almost lifelong Iron Maiden fan, I’m naturally going to enjoy spending time with the band, hearing the stories again and going through their history from the early days all the way up to 2025. But that’s also the documentary’s biggest problem: I’ve heard most of it before. For anyone unfamiliar with Maiden’s history, it’s probably a very good introduction. For longtime fans, however, much of it consists…

It does a good job at offering a condensed look at Iron Maiden’s 50-year career, and even manages a bunch of chilling, spine-tingling moments that showcase the scope of the band’s impact. It also has the self-evident distinction of tackling the more recent years of the band. Perhaps unsurprisingly, however, it doesn’t offer much of an insight for the initiated fans of the band on the whole. It’s also a curious choice to not show any of the band members talk on camera, except for archive footage.
-
J
It’s good, but it’s not really the all-encompassing Iron Maiden documentary the group deserves. It does a serviceable job summing up nearly 50 years of the band’s history, but it never really seems to capture the magic and energy that earned them millions of fans across the globe. It’s cool hearing from guys like Scott Ian and Tom Morello but the band members themselves have astonishingly little interesting things to say about their own group. It’s a nice little synopsis, but it leaves WAY too much out to be considered a definitive statement. I liked it, but I can’t say I loved it.

Es increíble ver todo lo que tuvo que atravesar la banda para llegar hasta donde está hoy y, sobre todo, recordar que detrás de una de las bandas más grandes del metal también hubo momentos de incertidumbre. Admiro muchísimo a Bruce, pero también le tengo un cariño enorme a Blaze y a Paul. Y, aunque sé que no es la época que la mayoría elegiría, hay algo en The X Factor y Virtual XI que me resulta profundamente reconfortante. Quizás…

This is a movie made to explain to people who don’t know anything about Iron Maiden how important they are and their story. In that way there is basically nothing here the fans don’t already know well. But they covered it well enough. Regardless I could watch and listen to these guys talk about anything for two hours and be totally engrossed, so this entertained me enough. But also sadly made me realize just how close the end is. Go see them while you can.

Sentí mucho ese “wow, hablan de mí” cuando mencionaron todo el pánico satánico que hubo alrededor de la banda y, en específico, Eddie. De hecho, me voy a proyectar y voy a contar una anécdota. Desde hace no sé cuánto, hasta técnicamente el 2023 (contexto más adelante), yo fui parte del coro de la iglesia a la que iba posterior a hacer el catecismo. Pasé años ahí, me vió crecer, me vió terminar mi niñez y pasar a mi adolescencia,…

Un excelente documental que celebra medio siglo de vida de una de las bandas más grandes e importantes en la historia del rock. Me gustó que, más que ser otro típico recorrido por imágenes archivo sobre las polémicas, egos o excesos del artista promedio, la película entiende que el fenómeno de Iron Maiden no se explica sin sus fanáticos, pues ellos son el gran motor de su éxito. Por eso, al explorar el entorno artístico, comercial y psicológico de la…

Saw this in the theater when it came out, as I am a long time Maiden fan. In retrospect, I could’ve waited until it was on streaming. It was fun and informational, but it didn’t blow me out of the water. I thought seeing it on the big screen would be more of a big deal.

Iron Maiden es de las mejores bandas de metal que hay y por fin tiene un documental sobre su trayectoria desde sus inicios hasta su estado actual, es un trabajo estándar para ser Iron Maiden. Lo que más rescato es la calidad del grupo es muy consistente en su discografía aun en sus momentos menos inspirados como fueron los noventas y sobre todo su fandom donde hay gente muy respetada que ama a la banda, diría que más que una secta de fans es una familia. Grande Iron Maiden.

Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition vertelt het verhaal van een van de grootste heavymetalbands aller tijden. Van de moeizame beginjaren in Londen tot uitverkochte stadiontournees over de hele wereld volgt de documentaire de hoogte- en dieptepunten van Iron Maiden. De vele wisselingen binnen de band, het vertrek en de terugkeer van Bruce Dickinson, zijn gevecht tegen keelkanker en de onvoorwaardelijke loyaliteit van de wereldwijde fanbase komen allemaal aan bod. Interviews met bandleden, muziekkenners en fans laten zien waarom Iron Maiden na…

Material bem bacana da banda, apresenta com competência a história do Maiden, deixa bastante claro o papel de liderança do fundador Steve. Acabei ficando curioso na parte em que eles falam da resistência que precisaram ter contra a cultura musical punk no fim dos anos 70 que era o que fazia sucesso na Inglaterra, deram uma pequena passagem nisso, seria bem legal ter aprofundado essa parte. Toda a crise da segunda metade dos anos 90 é rapidamente mostrada, claro que…

Ningún documental de una hora y cuarenta y cinco minutos puede hacerle justicia a una banda como Iron Maiden. Su historia, su impacto y su legado son demasiado grandes para resumirlos en un solo recorrido. Aun así, Burning Ambition consigue algo muy valioso: dejar que sean los propios integrantes, de todas las etapas de la banda, quienes cuenten sus recuerdos, sus conflictos y lo que significó formar parte de esta historia. También disfruté mucho la participación de músicos y admiradores…

I came out of this with my fandom reinvigorated. Iron Maiden were my favorite band for decades and hearing the stories of Triumph and turmoil (overcoming battles with cancer, being spit on and surviving rigorous tour schedules) reminded me of how they earned that title in the first place. The fervor from the fans could really be felt and this entire documentary stands as an ode to the fanbase. It didn’t feel perfect with some of the eras and facts feeling rushed through but I still had a great time watching it.

I love Iron Maiden and this was great, although the previous “History Of” documentaries were much more in depth, especially regarding the very early days and forming of the band. And “Flight 666” went into more detail about that era. Should have been a mini series or just be 4 hours long. But that’s just me. Very good intro for casual fans.

Iron Maiden are the extremely rare band who’ve created an entire universe they’re at the center of. Maiden is a global phenomenon, and this film does a very admirable job of trying to explain that phenomenon. Simon Gallup from The Cure shows up just to rave about Steve’s bass playing. This is structurally quite repetitive especially if you are already a fan of the band. The bulk of the film is one long montage of live footage with voiceovers. I…

Straightforward, but the focus on the community was neat, mentioning the roadie, the managers, and spending a lot of time with the fans. Half the talking heads in this are just fans, a few of whom are famous but most are just old (and young) Iron Maiden heads. Can’t believe they actually got ahold of footage of the night they got drunk and played “Smoke on the Water” at a wedding reception in Poland.

A decent telling of the story but for even a minor fan there’s nothing new or insightful as it skims the details. Sadly it skips over anything they don’t want to talk about (the interesting stuff you’ve not heard before in any detail), skipping over the Blaze era and really early days, they don’t appear in person (they are shy and old is the excuse), it’s over packed with dull talking heads (some are at least famous but most just…

Some things could’ve been better and It kind of just talked about the most basic of information about the band if you’re even coming into this as something of a hardcore fan that goes into bands further than their discography. Could’ve went more in depth and the fact it didn’t left me disappointed but it was still a good watch overall and I can’t say it was “bad”, just left me with a lot more to be desired than what was given

Colocaram gravações da banda em diversos momentos como dentro dos veículos de viagem, imagens dos fãs e os relatos deles sobre o que acham da banda e sua história com ela (incluindo o Javier Bardem).

Hard to give this glowing praise as a fan who’s dedicated his life to Maiden, as it essentially strips theirs 50 year history into brief highlights. The last 25 years of the band is essentially skipped over, there’s nothing here that I didn’t already know. While I do have these minor complaints, it’s nice to have it. Nice to see the Gustafson brothers represented too. One of the greatest things to have ever existed. Iron fucking Maiden.

4 veces he visto a Iron Maiden en vivo. Adolescencia y adultez, versiones distintas de la misma persona parada en la misma multitud. Cada vez tocaron algo especifico para lo que todavia no tengo la palabra correcta. Este documental entiende ese sentimiento y construye todo a su alrededor en lugar de alrededor de la biografía. Burning Ambition es relatado por todos los integrantes de la banda, incluso los que ya no están con nosotros, y esa sola decisión estructural lo…

Very much for fans only and honestly if you’re anything more than a filthy casual you probably know most of this story already. Maiden have been touring the world for long enough that there’s endless fascinating archival footage to be had but the overall flow and substance of what we see is pretty thin. A few of the many talking heads are adjacent industry figures with relevant takes that seem appropriate but the random fans from different countries approach to civilians felt a bit jarring and random in comparison.

This is barely a band documentary, its mainly a fan appreciation film to be honest. We hear alot of various fans talking about Iron Maiden, some famous some not and what the band means to them. But I wanted more about the band, how they wrote certain songs or what trials they went through on certain albums but you barely get any of that. It is very surface base and everything seems super glossed over. I don’t know anything more about Maiden then I did coming into this film.

Entiendo que es un documental no producido por la banda, pero dada toda la expectativa creada, me dejó con gusto a poco. Faltaron figuras que hacen a lo que Maiden significa; la entrega parece haber hecho trampa, como si hubieran leído solo el principio y el final de un buen libro de Iron Maiden.

Iron Maiden has taken up a considerable amount of real estate in my heart since I was 14, so naturally I had to go see this. I was a little disappointed. I will never regret an opportunity to see and hear about my favorite band, but most of this film was just things I already knew (and that I expect every big fan would know), or things I don’t think mattered all that much to the story of the group. It could serve as a decent introduction to the band, however, and I do hope that some people discovered Maiden through this documentary!

I went into Burning Ambition knowing very little of Iron Maiden’s music, and even less about their history. And to leave it feeling like I know the band’s story almost back to front is a testament to just how determined they were to leave no stone unturned here. It might be relatively standard in execution, comprised of talking heads and archive footage, but it’s so comprehensive and genuine that it ends up a cut above the rest. Have a particular…
