Rock a doodle do

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2019)

I suppose Rocketman had to be made. It reminds me of some of the other biopics that have been coming out in the last couple of years. The producers of these movies have probably been noticing that other movies featuring other artists have been popular. So I guess they've decided now is the right time. Strike while the iron is hot as has been said. I watched it to the end and I enjoyed it. The music is there. Flamboyance aplenty and English accents in abundance. There's drama, pop star excesses, synchronized dancing and fantasy scenes. What more could I want? Well, there's a whole lot of things that I wish for that aren't going to happen, as it's now been edited and released. What I secretly want is a movie that makes me give it a 9 or 10 rating. The significance of the artist is that he is a 9 or 10 artist who has had an important influence over the music scene. After all, he really is in a league of his own ... virtual rock and roll royalty. Wouldn't it be nice if the movie truly reflected this? ... my opinion only of course ...
