I was very entertained by this movie. I'm trying to judge it for what it was. Unfortunately after it was over i felt i really learned nothing about James out of his being an entertainer.
There was only the small bit about how he was quiet and only talked about himself.
I mean these guys were on the road together for decades so they must have interacted a bit or had convo's. I wish it touched a bit more on when he wasn't performing.
I learned a lot about him and his life in this documentary and as an avid fan, I thought I knew it all. I thought it was excellent, particularly with the commentary by his band members.
shareI agree. It was pretty shallow, but the performance clips more than made up for the thin narrative.
The political posturing and flapping jaw of the odious Al Sharpton were a bringdown.
I have not lost any respect for James Brown after viewing this film. James Brown was a MAN.

I liked it but it zoomed past his latter part of his career.
Its that man again!!
Yeah, it's like he just disappeared. I learned more about James Brown watching Get on Up but I loved watching his performances in this documentary. Definitely never be another entertainer like him. One of a kind.
It's a shame he supported Nixon.
Same Rules Apply
Elvis also supported Nixon.
I wonder if Tricky Dicky had something on them!
It's that man again!!
