Rocketman is everything that Bohemian Rhapsody needed to be!

Rating: 9/10 (31 May 2019)

I haven't felt this way about a musical since Hedwig and the Angry Inch 😍👏
Taron Egerton (and all of the supporting cast) was amazing! I don't know if I've ever seen this level of acting from him before and the fact that he sings every song so bloody well truly elevates his performance.
I was completely captivated by the musical performances in this film! The Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting) sequence made me want to get out of my seat and start dancing/flailing in the aisle and the Rocketman sequence was beautifully done. Both scenes were definitely the highlights of the film for me 💙
I could go on and on about the brillance that was the production design, cinematography, editing and direction of this film but that would spoil so many amazing moments.
I was so happy that they showed Elton John's journey without a pair of rose colored glasses on. You get to see him as a person and not just a persona and the film is better for it.
I walked away from this experience with a new found respect for both Elton John and Taron Egerton and I can't wait to see it again!
There's a scene towards the end of this movie where a single line is delivered from the past and the present and it will break/fill your heart. It was the moment when I realized that Dexter Fletcher accomplished something special with his film.
To avoid spoiling it, I'll just say....HUGS 🤗
