Wow Movie

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2019)

I saw Rocketman last night and was so impressed with the movie as well as the Oscar caliber performance of Taron Egerton as Elton. I live in the US and remember vividly when Elton burst into the scene in the US. I have attended 3 Elton John concerts. One in the beginning of his career with the fancy costumes, one with Billy Joel, and last fall Elton's farewell tour. All were inspiring and wonderful. I came away from Rocketman an entertaining well done film both raving about Egerton's superb performance and realizing and respecting anew Elton John's spectacular talent as a performer and songwriter with Bernie Taupin's talent as a lyricist. I hope both the film and Egerton get recognized at Oscar time.
