To elaborate, in your opinion has it been raised,lowered, or keep the same based off recent biopics? with Elvis, Weird Al, the upcoming Napoleon, and Nolan's Oppenheimer has the overall standard and level of expectation been changed from past biopics for the future biopics. There have been countless bad, subpar, and underwhelming biopics that failed to meet the level of expectation the project garnered. And while the biopic is seen as oscar bait and cliche and generally inaccurate.

I think too many biopics tried to cover too much of a persons life. I think it's better to just narrow down to a specific period in their life. Or focus on a specific event.
Music biopics should look to a film like Rocketman for inspiration. They not only narrowed down the story. But making it a musical really made u feel what they were feeling at specific moments in their lives.
Then of course have good writing, acting, cinematography, and directing.
