TMP isn't even a bad movie, especially compared to Nemesis or something.
It just takes too long to get to the plot, with filler vignettes that don't really serve any purpose other than "look at this neat effect we couldn't do in the 60s!"

Mate with the exception of the utterly fantastic First Contact the TNG movies take The Federations highest honours for crapness. It is no surprise that after the utter Targ Manure that was Nemesis a thoroughly cheesed of Paramount told them to toss a proposed 5th movie out the nearest airlock.

You are right about The Slow Motion Picture as fans call it. The story itself isn't bad but my word all that filler. Good grief just what the heck was Roddenberry playing at?
