He just had that something special.

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2020)

I love biopics, especially ones about musicians. What drew me to to this movie was the fact that I'd never heard Elton John's story before and I'm also a fan of the actor who plays him, Taron Egerton.
He played the part so brilliantly and what I think made his transformation into Elton complete was the fact that he did his own singing. He has quite an incredible voice and sounds a lot like the real Elton John. So not only is he a great actor he is a great singer too.
I have to admit that even though Elton John is a legend and his songs are brilliant for some reason he's never really been my go to well maybe that needs to change. He had his troubles and his fair share of demons yes but I think those things are a big factor in what makes these stories so worth telling.
