Personally I find all celebrity biopics disgusting.
I mean, it would be different if these things tended to actually be honest deeply researched analyses done by hard-nosed experts (which would probably mean they would be spectacularly boring as movies and better as articles or books) and if celebrity status was highly correlated to the greatness of one's achievements for society rather than to being well known because of practicing a very public profession (so, featuring more of, for example, Great Scientists and fewer Star Musicians and Movie Stars), but in the current society, celebrity biopics are fantasy spectacles about people whose fame is due to nothing else than being a competent professional in showbiz.
That in itself doesn't make the biopics "disgusting" but the recent abundance of them does add up to too much to of an overly sweet low-nutrition thing the point of being stomach turning, IMHO.
Hey, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is a classic and a masterpiece, I'll have you know.
Wrong kid died!
i like biopics that don't pretend to be anything more than entertainment, like Weird Al and Nick Cages biopic movies
