unbelievable

People keep trying to compare this "biopic" to Queen's biopic. This needs to stop immediatly. Queens film was an honest chronilogical acount of the band and Freddy Mercury.
This film does not. Its exagerated to the point ya dont know what is true or flat out made up. They also bounced constantly from either telling a story normally or just busting into a musical number for no reason at all. The filmmakers relied heavily on the audiences love of the music, not the quality of the story telling, and sure as heck not on the terrible over acting.
I think their main goal was to ride off the coat tails of the Queen film. Cram as much of Eltons music in as humanily possible. Now having said that, if they wanted to do an artistic interpratation using his music, like they did with the beetles and Across the Universe, that would be more accurate. But calling this a biopic, and further insinuating that he wrote all of his hit songs in 3 minutes....yeah, 3 minutes. Its a flat out lie.
i feel like they betrayed their audience, for a cheap buck. But it worked didnt it.
