A Stunning Masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2020)

The 2019 biopic titled "Rocketman" tells a beautiful and bedazzling story about sex, drugs and rock n' roll. The lead actor Taron Egerton does a phenomenal job in portraying the talented Elton John. The actor fully embodies the famous rock star. Whilst watching the movie, I completely flatlined for a second and thought that I'm seeing the real Elton John on my screen.
This movie is incredibly fast paced and did not have any tonal inconsistencies. The story moved surprisingly quickly and never bored me in any way. It felt like a 90 minute movie instead of a 2 hour movie.
The cinematography in this movie is astounding. The costumes and the array of color perfectly encapsulates the essence and the general vibe of the movie. During an interview, Elton John concurred that he lived an R-rated life. Much to his dismay, the movie got a PG-13 rating.
I never in a million years would have guessed that the actor Taron Egerton did his own singing. When I heard his voice, it felt incredibly familiar to Elton John's voice. It was pure joy hearing Elton John's songs again. My favorite song is Crocodile Rock. This song gave me such a tremendous ear worm.
To conclude, this biopic ticked all the right boxes for me. Whilst not reaching the heights of the Freddie Mercury biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Rocketman" is still a delight to watch. The movie will make you laugh, cry and jump up and sing and dance. It is an absolute must-watch.
