Review of Rocketman (2019) by Darkbloodshed13 — 17 May 2020
Rocketman is a biopic about Sir Elton John directed by Dexter Fletcher and stars Taron Egerton as the titular Elton John. This film is presented amazingly well. The performance given by Taron Egerton is right on the money, which to be honest didn't surprise me one bit I have been a fan of his since the Kingsman movies and I already knew he could sing Elton John songs with is performance in Sing.
It helps that the story betrays Elton with respect but doesn't shy away from the dark times in his live. Where most films would have tried to trim down the dark parts of his live this film dives head first into it.
The biggest asset that this film has is the music numbers. Now normally I'm not a big fan of Elton John songs, yet this film presents each of them in a strange and unique manner that I couldn't help but get into them.
In conclusion if you are an Elton John fan than you'll like this film, heck even if your not you might get some enjoyment out of this film.
