Taron Egerton really really wows!

Rating: 7/10 (27 August 2019)

If you watch this movie, you cannot deny how talented Taron Egerton is. He did all of his own singing and dancing. Let that sink in. He really brings Elton's music and story to life. The film features a beautiful homage to Eltons work. I didn't necessarily love the format and the idea of an epic fantasy retelling myself. But I can see how that would fit Elton's music and story well. It's very much a musical over a biography. I wouldn't be surprised if this landed on Broadway next, this movie screams Broadway. If that is what you enjoy then you will love this movie! If you are looking for more of a biography or serious retelling of Elton's life, you won't find that here.
