First of all, not all molecular bonds are covalent, any bond that involves a metal is an ionic bond. These bonds occurs because every element except the noble gases (the elements on the rightmost group: Helium, Neon, Argon, krypton, Xenon, and Radon) want to take or lose Valence electrons (the outermost electron shell) so that they have all full shells of electrons (the first shell holds 2, then 8,18 etc.), like the noble gases. To bond elements can give, take or share electrons with other elements, and they will arrange themselves into molecules with a certain number of each element, so every element has the number of electrons it "wants".

Metallic bonds are similar to what kind of bonds?

Metallic bonds are similar to highly delocalised bonds found in giant covalent molecules, such as those found in graphite. Other substances with a metallic appearance such as galena lead sulfide, PbS and iron pyrites, FeS2 although usually considered at high school level to be ionic are in fact semiconductors implying covalency and delocalisation.
