Not at all what I expected.

Rating: 3/10 (24 June 2019)

Not at all what I expected, and I expected precious little. Let me make this clear, I like Elton John's music. I like musicals. What could possibly go wrong? Well, let's just say I'm delighted to say I streamed it free and didn't waste money either going to the cinema or ended up buying the DVD / Bluray. Did it reflect Elton John's life? There's only one person who could answer that, and he assisted in writing it, so whether there was an ounce of truth in the story or not, I couldn't tell you, I'm not a rabid fan. I like his music. I don't think I've got one album not even on Spotify. But this? This was hype, and fantasy, and fairly badly written at that. About the only way I'd watch this again is if it was on telly, and there was absolutely nothing else on worth watching. Overall, I found it vapid and depressing.
