There is a difference

Rating: 3/10 (7 September 2019)

There is a large difference between a movie about the life of a musician icon and a musical.
This is an attempt to be both and without warning. Other great stories about those that made the largest cuts into our music then, now and forever dove into the story of the artist.
This, again without warning, mimics the muppets movie while it tries very hard to tell Elton John's story by using his music to move the story forward. Giving the impression that we are not allowed to know how, why and when he created the music so many of us know.
If you want a rated R version of Elton's life but one without an actual story, this is for you. You will catch glimpses of his journey, but without the substance that should be with it.
Dancing in the streets with homes being pulled apart while strangers in the background breaking into song and dance as well is constant. It's distracting and a low handed trick played on those of us that expected an actual story of Elton John, not the made for stage musical.
You've been warned.
