Good Music and Seemed Too Long

Rating: 3/10 (19 November 2019)

I am a fan of Elton John's music, but after seeing this, I really don't care about his understated ups and overblown downs. The tendency to blame others for hurt feelings was cheep, while the outright grab at the 'Bohemian Rhapsody' spotlight, is tastelessly self-indulgent. The storyline really needed to be laid out better. I like high points and low points in movies, but this flick had way too many. One can't help but get exhausted jumping from peaks and valleys without warning - and this happened throughout the entire movie. It got to the point, at least for me, when the story reached one of the many tops of the ride, it shortly came crashing down to depressing angst and misery. I can't watch 'Rocketman' again, it's not that interesting. It's too bad too, this should have been an extremely interesting tale about a musical treasure - Elton John. It wasn't, it was humdrum. Just a suggestion; for an awesome personal story to be told about greatness, I highly suggest Martin Scorsese,
