Rocketman fizzles

Rating: 3/10 (2 June 2019)

Bravo for the great singing and acting from Taron Egerton. However, the plot was a disappointment. Contrary to the critic reviews such as Rolling Stone, a series of great Elton John songs and fun costumes do not make a movie. I wish they hired some good writers to explore (1) Elton's creative process with Bernie Taupin; (2) develop the characters for his parents; or (3) his four year marriage. By the end I felt like I paid the box office to watch a long advertisement for the 2019 Elton John world tour.
