Disappointed with Rocketman

Rating: 4/10 (21 May 2019)

Well .. I really wanted to love this movie. But, I didn't. I love Elton John. I've seen him in concert three times. This movie was disappointing. First off -- I didn't expect it to be a musical. I thought it would incorporate Elton's music .. with this was an actual musical with people dancing and singing. Sometimes, things didn't seem to be chronologically accurate.
I thought that the acting was good and the singing was terrific. I learned some things. And the lack of love and support and kindness from Elton's parents broke my heart. Every child should feel cherished. I've seen the trailer multiple times since I saw the movie Saturday night - and honestly - the trailer does not make it seem like the viewer is going to see a musical.
