Review of Rocketman (2019) by 4Nick3 — 30 Oct 2019
Rocketman follows the story of Elton John and his rise to fame. The formula for Rocketman, and like any other musical biopic is quite familiar, but Rocketman bends and twists this formula in ways that make it special. It has a very unique execution from Elton John telling his story to a rehab group, the amazing musical numbers, and the highs and lows of Elton's life represented through metaphors. Multiple scenes in this movie aren't meant to be taken literally, but the film never goes over the top with any of them. Taron Egerton, as Elton John, does an absolutely fantastic Job and fully embodies Elton perfectly. I admire Rocketman because it sets the standard very high for musical biopics due to the fact that it tries something new. Never have I seen a movie based on an artist use their music to drive the plot forward. Many scenes in this film had me emotionally and I thoroughly enjoyed rocketman and thought it was near perfect.
