★☆☆☆☆
The songs are not Elton John's versions.
I loved Bohemian Rhapsody and A Star is Born so I thought I would like this. Hated it. Nearly every minute of it. Didn't like the weird musical numbers. Didn't like young Elton. Didn't like how they changed the songs. Didn't like the order of the songs. There was no rise to stardom moments. There was no interaction with other rock star moments. Two or three times in the movie they mention other rock stars are at a gig or party but there are no scenes with them. This left me feeling short changed. I'm going to put my Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy record on the turn table just to regain my love for Elton's music. I need to forget this movie asap.
