Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (21 May 2019)

First of all this is a musical & reminded me very much of The Who's Tommy - it's not just a biop so if you like traditional musicals you will enjoy this.
Second, Taron Egerton was fantastic. Jamie Bell aside the rest of the cast were bland and forgettable
Problem is that I just couldn't warm to Elton. I know that as part of this vanity project, Elton wanted a warts and all portrayal, I think there was just a few too many warts. Whilst Bohemian Rhapsody was uplifting & celebrated the music of Freddie & the Queen boys this to me didn't celebrate Elton's music just showed what an almighty Pr*** he is. Disappointing
