10 Key Changes We Wish Recent Movies Had Made

2. Focus More On Nikki's Diaries - The Dirt

It's pretty fair to say that The Dirt was... unevenly received by critics, but for Mötley Crüe fans, it was a riot. Their story was easily one of the most notorious in the history of rock and seeing that given true reverence, with a good cast and Netflix's power behind it was a real surprising high point. It wasn't flawless by any means, but it was a damn sight better than it's been given credit for.

That said, what would have served it better - just as with most recent music biopics - is a little less mythologising and a little more raw emotion. We get that Mötley Crüe are outrageous legends, because as fans, we lived their legends too, but the real story for Crüe was the darker stuff. We did get to see SOME of that, particularly around Vince Neil, but Tommy Lee's issues were mostly glossed over and Nikki Sixx's struggles with heroin addiction was only engaged with a tiny amount.

For anyone who has read Sixx's haunting Heroin Diaries, there is a far more compelling, far more important story in there that was largely missing from The Dirt, which would have made it infinitely better.
