Review of Rocketman (2019) by M0Nst3R_G4Ming — 14 Jun 2019

Rocketman is a good musical film about the legend Elton John. The musical is designed so that you can learn a lot about the life of Elton John. Because the film is structured like a musical, you could put many songs by Elton John (like for example "The **** Is Back", "Your Song" or "I'm Still Standing") into a little background story. Through these little background stories of the songs the songs of Elton John seem much more authentic. The sound of the songs in the film is also very good, you always like to listen to them!

The actor Taron Egerton could perform Elton John very well in Rocketman. Important parts of Elton John's life are shown well and you get a good insight into Elton John's (sometimes hard) life.

The only thing that I don't feel so good about is that the song Rocketman, which gave the movie its name, wasn't very well received. I would have liked a better representation for the song here - instead of randomly showing it in the middle of the movie.

To compare Rocketman now with the recently published biography "Bohemian Rapsody" about Freddie Mercury with Queen: Both movies are very good movies about the musicians Freddie Mercury and Elton John. I have to say that Bohemian Rapsody was a little better, but Rocketman is also very good. Rocketman was built more like a musical than a simple biography. But I think it's very fitting and really good for Rocketman.

In summary I can say that I can recommend the film Rocketman to every Elton John fan and lover of his music. Elton John's songs are very well portrayed in Rocketman and you learn a lot about Elton John's life.
