I'd heard he could barely move or sing, the O2 shows were going to be 5 minutes of him tottering around with the backup dancers and lipsynch carrying the rest of the show, and I figured the movie would be mostly fawning interviews and old video clips.

Wrong.

80% of the movie was him performing, without the lightshow, the backup dancers in warmup clothes, only a handful in the audience - and he was great. Moving great - sharp, crisp, graceful - and singing great too. The man was older than me, older than most of us on this board, and he was stepping like it was 15 years ago. I was very impressed and entertained.

He is a controversial person, has always been, but he was a spectacular entertainer and the movie was a pretty good reminder of that.
