_Rocketman_ tries to walk a line between the paint-by-numbers musician biopic bog standard, and epic musical fantasy. A lot of the time when a movie tries to be a blend of two things, it ends up being neither. _Rocketman_, conversely, ends up being both, just never at the same time. It’s basically two movies, and that epic musical fantasy movie I was talking about that’s in there, that’s a **great** movie. Unfortunately, the other one, is not so much. I’m still gonna come away giving it a recommendation, because there is enough in there to mean that I enjoyed it, especially in the core casting, all of which is great, not least Egerton. But I was little disappointed, not because my expectations were too high going in or anything, but because every time Rocketman began to slip into a euphoric high, it was moments later wrenched back to, well… Reality, I guess. Albeit a reality we only see on a movie screen. And we see on **every** movie screen when it’s a musician biopic. I mean, this is Elton John we’re talking about, if there was ever a moment to reject the mundane and fully embrace the over-the-top flamboyant fantasy it was here. But _Rocketman_ just kind of Awkward Christian Camp Side Hugs the over-the-top flamboyant fantasy._Final rating:★★★ – I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._
There’s so much that works about ‘Rocketman’, so the fact it never fully commits to its musical fantasy conceit is a bit of a disappointment. It ends up aligning most with Julie Taymor’s curious 2007 Beatles musical ‘Across the Universe’ – a really great idea and approach to the work of a musical artist that never finds its feet or the bravery to fully be itself. It’s still a moving and occasionally stirring portrait of Elton John, and while the lack of emotional or narrative detail in the screenplay never allows Taron Egerton to fully unleash his potential, he’s still a terrific Elton John and sings the hell out of these amazing songs. In the end, despite a refreshing honesty and some fascinating choices, ‘Rocketman’ is never as daring as it so desperately wants and needs and deserves to be, a film on the road to somewhere but never quite getting there.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE – TARON EGERTON
I have been waiting for weeks to the premier and Taron’s performance blowed me away. I can’t tell it was going for a movie about Elton John or going to a premier of a concert where Taron singing and performing and telling his life story from the screen (or from the stage cause it’s a premier). His voice is precious, is emotional and is skillful. He got that powerful voice yet that soulful and soft that I am sure that he is the right person, the PERFECT person for those songs and for this film. Such a perfect actor, with a gifted voice. His acting was outstanding and his eyes told things. I can felt his thoughts and feelings, his sadness, disapointment, his emptyness. Just, breathtaking. And Jamie Bell did great, Richard Madden also, such a wonderful compilation of these three talented and professional actors. Love their charisma and their chemistry together. Thank you very much for a great movie. Really enjoyed it.
Elton John is amazing, and he is a complicated man….this film reflects his tormented side
Taron Egerton’s portrayal of Elton John is superb and only heightened by the producers allowing Taron to sing his own versions of many of Elton John’s classic hits. It would be impossible to capture all aspects of Elton John’s life in the 2 hours provided in this musical/biographical film, so instead the producer/writer/director concentrated on Elton’s early childhood which helped shape his destiny when he first met his partner in song writing the great Bernie Taupin played by Jamie Bell.There were far too many other excellent performances from the supporting cast members to mention them all but I have to mention two in particular who were top notch. Bryce Dallas Howard plays Elton’s irresponsible (wife cheating) mother, and Richard Madden who plays John Reid one of Elton’s early but serious lovers remained Elton’s manager for decades after their sexual relationship ended. Both of these actors added a lot to the films depth in the one area that focused on Elton’s tormented soul and led him to binge drinking and pill popping which is the area this film reflected.
I hope we don’t have to wait for Elton John to pass away (God forbid) before some producer realizes that Elton John and Bernie Taupin whose lifestyles and personalities are so diametrically opposite that they deserve their life stories to be developed into a (minimum) ten (10) hour TV Mini-Series to cover a heck of a lot of both of these musical genius’s personal lives as well as their successes with their musical portfolios.
Rocketman is well worth seeing and rates a perfect 10 out of 10 in my version of Elton John’s quasi autobiography book.
