I watched an early screening of Rocketman the new Elton John movie tonight. Many people have compared this movie to the Queen movie Bohemian Rhapsody. It's easy to see why but don't! Elton John and Freddie Mercury are two different musicians with two different stories.
I don't think Rocketman will be as successful as the Queen movie. They are both good movies. I think the Elton John movie could be converted into a musical fairly easy.
Rocketman does share a look at Elton's upbringing, his relationship with Bernie Taupin, his struggles with relationships, family, and addiction. as you would expect the movies features a great selection of sounds and Taron Egerton does a splendid job of portraying Elton John.
The movie gets heavy at times. I recommend the movie. If you like Elton John then you don't want to miss this film.
