Good musical

Rating: 7/10 (14 June 2019)

The problem with this movie is that I expected Bohemian Rhapsody and got Mama Mia.
I wish I had been told this movie is a musical movie. Like the greatest Show man, Les MisÃ©rables and many others, there's hardly any dialogues and the songs represent what the characters are feeling. The theme of the musical is based in Elton John's life with Elton John's music.
Once you understand that, the movie is quite good. The choice of songs is great and the singer are pretty good. Except for the 8 year old Elton John. That kid is amazing! I'm talking extraordinary here. I thought the child in Coco was amazing. Specially the singer in the Mexican version. But this child is FAR better. A rising star no doubt.
While you watch this movie, you truly feel in a theater musical and I wouldn't be surprised if they took it to Broadway. I would go see it.
So a good musical with good music and great costumes. Wouldn't go any higher than that.
