He was never ordinary, still a magical bio type of the lift off of a pop superstar, who had plenty of highs and lows.

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2019)

Always liked enjoyed and respected the songs of one "Sir" Elton John as his music was about love, life, and struggle as his words really touched one's inner soul. With this big screen picture called "Rocketman" it tells the rise and break out of the stardom of one Elton John it's like the film also teases in a fantasy like way with parody that involves certain songs from John. Flashbacks and looking back at his life are the norm thru the film, as his life is heavily focused on. Looking all the way back at his childhood days you the viewer see that it was tough that Elton grew up without his real dad after the split from tough overbearing mommy Sheila(Bryce Dallas Howard) it was clear that Elton needed a father figure.
At an early age this little shy boy took interest in piano and "Elvis" and would later sing and entertain for escape, and one by one this would mold him into a pop rock superstar! Still along the way this man like everyone else had high and low points from addiction with hard drugs and alcohol, plus he had to battle his inner demons and come to terms with his sexuality. I must also say that actor Taron Egerton was great as Elton he really hit all the high notes from the singing, acting, and he captured all of the man's emotions and brilliant madness of the fairy tale ride of life! Excellent wonderful work for certain go see this if you are an Elton John fan, as it shows how a pop legend came about thru struggles and pain, as this "Rocketman" is still standing!
