A musical journey

Rating: 7/10 (17 February 2020)

Rocketman
Last night I watched the movie Rocketman. Starring Taron Egerton as Elton John. The movie is another music biography, but this is a musical biography. Which is different in biography movies.
Taron Egerton did a wonderful job portraying and singing Elton's songs. We all know that Elton didn't like Rami Malek for winning a Oscar. For a movie he didn't sing and he got Taron to sing his songs. He wanted it to be authentic and real. Well he did.
The movie, Which I thought it was pretty decent, odd at first but got better during the movie.
The movie is something to behold. I did like the storyline of how he became Elton. Elton has some iconic songs and I wish they showed how those songs come about. That's all I want. I wanted to know how Tiny Dancer & Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was made . Now we know on how I'm still standing came about, but that's all I want.
The cast of characters were good, not great. Now I did like Jamie Bell as Berne Taupin. He as great , wish there was more of him in the movie. I would have liked how he come up with those iconic songs.
The music is to be by far the best of it. Truly love hearing, Your song, Tiny Dancer & Sorry seems to be the hardest word. Those are my favorites.
Now is wish they didn't end it like it did, I wanted to know more after his drug infested rehab and how he became who he is now and the other songs he sung.
Overall this was a entertaining movie to watch. Look past of the homophobia stuff in the movie, just enjoy a wonderful movie.
My rating is 7/10. #rocketman #eltonjohn #taronegerton
