So disappointing, a feel bad musical

Rating: 3/10 (2 June 2019)

I've been an Elton John fan for 50 years, I was so excited about seeing this movie, I was really looking forward to seeing this movie, we bought tickets online in advance to make sure we had tickets. I knew it was going to be a musical from the commercials, I'm not a big fan of musicals, but I figured a musical with Elton John songs would have to be good, it wasn't, I left the theatre feeling sad, I wanted to feel bouyant like I did watching the scene at The Troubadour where the audience and Elton John floated off the ground with the feeling Elton John's music gave them. I really, really wanted to like this movie, I really, really tried to like it, I didnt. I sat in my seat for a while after it ended, my friend misunderstood my actions, he thought I wanted to see it again, I said I was trying to process my sad, disappointed feelings and one viewing was more than enough.
The acting was good, the actor playing Elton John was especially good, he was a pretty good singer, but I would have rather heard Elton John singing his own songs in his own movie.
I'm just so bummed, I really wanted to like/love this movie, but it left me feeling bad.
