Rocketman Fails to Launch

Rating: 3/10 (1 June 2019)

After about thirty minutes or so, I realized this was in fact a musical. If you like musicals, you'll probably like this film. But, stay away if you're not a fan of them
One aspect I disliked was that too many scenes start in one "area," then the singing/song starts, then they resolve the song into a different "area". Also, I can't recall a single song lasting more than a minute or so, at best. You more-less get snippets of a lot Elton's songs, with the occasional symbolism added to some of them. What's unfortunate, in my opinion, is that some of his hits aren't at all played like the real songs themselves
In regards to the acting, it was decent. There are some emotional scenes which were filmed quite effective, but, nothing that'll leave you sobbing. In addition, you may find out some things that you never knew about Elton John
In conclusion: I think die-hard Elton John fans will probably like this movie. Ultimately, though, your overall opinion of Rocketman will come down how much you like or dislike musicals...
