I turned it off after an hour, no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Just watched last night.
Disclaimer: Pretty big MK fan. I think Theater of Pain came out when I was a sophomore in high school.
First, The timeline was off. They skipped so much time. Evan had they told the viewer: "Ten Years Later..." it would have been better. If you didn't know the story, you would have thought it was a few weeks or months.
Second, the acting was bad. I only thought MGK came close to capturing any of the guys personalities. The guy playing Mick Mars was terrible. As was the Vince Neil actor.
Much of it was cliché. Yeah yeah, you did a ton of drugs and nailed a bunch of women. Rock bands had been doing that for decades.
Production quality was poor. The narrations sucked. Too much cheese.
SPOILER
Like in the car crash scene, with the lights and it looks like Christmas, blah blah.
Just not a very good movie. I wasn't expecting "Almost Famous" quality, but I was overall disappointed. Probably give it 2 out of 5 stars.
And Nikki Sixx really needs to stop trying to look like a 20 year old rocker. I just saw him on an interview. It's just sad when these old rock guys hold on to that "look."
The worst scene of the movie (well, other than them meeting at the bar and Vince crying) was their first gig when they get in the huge fight and then go on to play on rock. Nobody believes it went down like that.
I feel like the movie was 60% real and 40% fiction. Haven't read the book.

Geez so much pretension here. It's a story about Motley frickin Crue. There was always little to no depth to them as a band musically, although Mars is a pretty good guitarist. They were always about sex, drugs and rock n roll. What were you looking for some sort of story like Almost Famous with some sort of realization about things?
These guys partied hard, played loud music and lived an extended adolescence until it all started to catch up with them....as it did to a lot of other bands. I thought the movie was fun, at least until the last 20 minutes. The opening scene was as raunchy as you can get....squirting.
Wholesale destruction of hotel rooms, massive mayhem on tour, screwing the record company guy's girlfriend as he was outside the door. Screwing each other's girlfriends. Throwing things out the hotel window. Ozzy snorting fire ants and then licking up his own piss and other's piss. Tommy Lee describing a night on tour.
Come on, it's rock 'n roll and they were the embodiment of those LA bands that were so prevalent in the 1980's. Hell, what I would not give for a few more Motley Crue's, GnR's and some of the other hair bands making music today. It would kick the shite out of the crap that is out there in popular music.
I love the guy who said, don't bring your girlfriend around Moley Crue , because they will frick her!!!!! Also thought the manager's comparison of Crue to other big bands of the day was great as well. I would not want to live that life, but damn, the times were fun and watching those idiots do it was entertaining....
