I can't claim to have the technically detailed knowledge of this history as some here who have commented on such, but just for the fun of watching this film unfold, it was certainly enjoyable - and watching Beyonce as Etta James, now THAT was worth the price of the ticket.
Of course, I could watch Beyonce perform just about anything, and it would be fun to watch.
Is this the greatest moment in the history of film making - no, hardly.
But is this a film worth watching, especially if you're a music fan of this genre', yes indeed, I would say so.
It's a great introduction to this arena of history, and how this music came to be, despite what technical flaws there might be.
I especially appreciated the end where the credits mentioned the entries into the R&R Hall of Fame, and the successful lawsuits that were won in favor of the musicians who invented this material. This is one aspect of this history I am aware of, and certainly deserves to be shown to the public for all to see
