Review of Rocketman (2019) by Thegldt — 07 Aug 2019
Taron Egerton is a force—vocals, dancing all courtesy of himself. Go get that nomination! Rocketman is superior, more creative, more stylistic than Bohemian Rhapsody, but the standard biopic story beats are still here (and it still feels very formulaic).
As someone who has never listened to Elton’s music, the ‘Saturday’ song (and dance number) was a revelation. The only song I knew before this was ‘Tiny Dancer’ and it received a poignant, unplugged rendition in the film.
I would’ve wanted an encore though.
