Not quite what I expected

Rating: 6/10 (22 October 2019)

First of all, I have great respect for any actor that does his own singing in a movie and Taron Egerton did an admirable job in that respect. While you could tell the difference in j=his voice and Elton John's, the phrasing. tempo and accenting were spot on. Also, with glasses on, he looked a lot like him. Unfortunately, when he took them off, he looked more like Kevin Spacey.
What disappointed me was the movie itself. I was expecting more of a documentary of his life and career, but it is purely a musical set to the music of Elton John, The chronology was off and I do not believe there was a complete song in the entire movie. Overall, it was not as good as "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Jersey Boys" or "The Buddy Holly Story" All of which painted a more complete life story. At least the music was good enough to have you singing along.
