Actually better than Bohemian Rhapsody

Rating: 8/10 (3 June 2019)

Rocketman is a biography movie based off English Singer/Songwriter Elton John played in the film by Taron Egerton from Eddie The Eagle and tells the story of Reginald Wright(aka Elton John) who lived a hard life. His father didn't care about him,his mother didn't care about him either but she wasn't as bad as Reginald's father. We also get to see Elton falling downhill with drink,drugs and even suicide attempts along with his sexuality.
What I really liked about this film was the visuals along with Taron's singing and acting chops. For a man who had to play a UK skier in Eddie The Eagle to this,I really hope he wins or gets an Oscar 2020 nod for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy. This film is told in flashbacks btw as we see Elton in rehab.
Also stars Richard Madden as John Reid who had an affair with Elton John,an unreconisable Bryce Dallas Howard as Elton's mother,Jamie Bell as Bernie who Elton works with organising songs as well as fancing him and even Hercules himself Tate Donovan stars as a club manager in the states.
Keep an eye out for Keith Lemon from Celebirty Juice.
