I don't really like this movie because it is so inacurate and paints Meat in a real bad light.
Fair enough,the fans know the facts from the fiction,but after it was shown on VH1's recent Meat Loaf day, Carol has been defending Meat at work against people calling Meat a right b......d for the way he acts and the way he treated his wife

.They think that they are instant experts on Meat because they have seen a film about his life.An inacurate film made with 0 input from Meat.
As a fan,it annoys me because of the silly things that could have been done right without any dificulty.For instance,it's a well know story that when Meat auditioned for Jim,he sang Heavy As Jesus.Jimmy said he thought he was as heavy as two Jesus's.Why did they change the song in the film?

I don't think the actor did a particulary good job of playing Meat.I was cringing whenever he used his own voice.
It's worth a watch for entertainment value,but don't put too much beliefe in anything that happens in it.
If you want to know about Meat read the book.
