Sorry but it was that bad. Matter of fact it was horrible. If you knew little to nothing about her, did not grow up listening to her music, or did not grow to appreciate her until after her death, you would think its just a nice simple movie. It was soo bland and boring and skipped over so many great parts about her career. They couldn't use any of her original music so that was the first disappointment. They only briefly brought up her movies but didn't go any further into the making of those (I dont even remember her last movie Queen of the Damned being mentioned). As the other poster said, you would expect to be "taken back to the 90s" and be able to reminisce on her music, videos, dancing, award appearance, etc. but we get none of that. The most the movie could give us was some of her fashion sense and a few cover songs. When compared with other movies like the TLC movie and Notorious, it fails miserably. . Her Behind the Music special that came out after she died was way more entertaining.
