Very very disappointed

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2019)

A musical journey of self pitying cheese. Written for theatre rather than the big screen, the script was wooden and dry. Musically all the hits were there, but interwoven as a musical the story line just didn't work. I wasn't the only one either, people actually got up and left half way and many of the audience were suffering at the ridiculousness of... hey I'm having a crisis..! Ooh, well let's sing a song about it... tra lah lah... Now don't get me wrong Elton John has more talent in my little finger than I will ever have, but his story should never have stooped to this level of boring musical surrealism. The lead actor was great, but his talent was barely stretched and was at times corny to say the list. The icing on the cake was at the end credits when the self idolisation went even further without a hint of any of the hardships that continued in his life after the timeline had ceased. Apologies if I was left thinking that other than one person in his life who he admires, he just played the victim and the blame game. It left me with a sour taste in my mouth wondering why a new song was not write for the film entitled 'Pity Me It Was all Your Fault and Nothing to do With me.' Perhaps he could sing that one with Kiki Dee....
