Rocketman

It's Taron Egerton as Elton John who carries and sells the film -- often backwards and in platform heels. Wild as it may sound to approach such a mercurial and marvelous character with beautiful restraint, Egerton's performance is meticulously calibrated.

Play Rocketman! It is fast and easy to view! A good way to spend your time. Be the best!

The story of a damaged individual trying to come to terms with themselves and their subsequent addiction is not a new story. However, not many of those folk live a life like Elton's. Producing hit after hit with Bernie like shelling peas. This is a film first but a musical second, and what a score. Genuine goose bump moments, one hum dinger in a early first major performance. A hell of a strong cast, with really too many to mention, the casting of Taron Egerton as Elton was genius. This is a moving story, which flew past and really is as good as the reviews imo. Loved it, a really strong 8. Elton's popularity will really expand with this. Get on it!

What a disappointment. Bad writing. Pitiful representation of EJ. I couldn't stand the musical portions and ended up FFW past them. And how do you screw up concert/show dates with when the actual song was created? Casting was great and Egerton nailed his role, but he should've lip-synced the music and had the actual EJ songs played. Not saying his voice was bad, but basically I just saw a 2 hour pity party played/sung by a cover band musical. This film would have been much better as an actual biopic. Compared to Bohemian Rhapsody, this film was a huge flop for me. It's a generous 6/10 mainly for Egerton's great performance.
