All I have seen is glowing reviews...plus 92% on Rotten Tomatoes and 8.6 on IMDB...can't be bad!

Me, I enjoyed it a lot. If nothing else I found out I'd been pronouncing his name wrong all these years, but then so had most of the UK. i-erton as opposed to what the UK think - erton.

Interesting, I might give it a go. As the footage is going to be a lot of pre HD 80's and 90's TV, is there much to gain in quality with a Blu-ray version?

Apparently the Blu Ray version is far superior to the DVD - remember, even thought they did not have HD TV's back then - the footage would have been filmed with HD definition on film.

Only that footage that was shot on large format cinema standard film cameras, which, in this case, wasn't that much. A lot of the footage is direct from TV sources which, when converted to film and then enlarged to cinema screen proportions, does show its graininess a lot. This is especially so of TV footage shot in countries using the US NTSC colour TV standard in use during Senna's era - and that includes Brazil and Japan.

I'm not going to go into why I thought the film fell short in so many areas. I actually am glad I saw it - and there was genuinely new and interesting footage I'd never seen before. But it was incomplete in my eyes.

Have a look at this for a more balanced and honest account of his life.
