Rocketman
It's really hard not to compare this to the most recent gay-English-musicman biopic that I saw (Bohemian Rhapsody), but I will say this was the better movie. For one, it's more of a musical, with more full on musical scenes. Similar to BR, I felt there were a few things missing. Light spoilers: Elton's first drug use is shown during a musical number, and then he's just kind of an addict. I would've liked to see more of the story of him trying out different drugs for the first time.
Heavier spoiler: The conflict with his mom towards the end feels a tad out of nowhere. She goes from a negligent parent, to outwardly homophobic, to blaming Elton for running his dad away while trying to extort him for money in like 3 scenes.
Some other things you don't see are him deciding on or picking out his costumes, which felt weird. But the costumes themselves are cool. The film is framed around Elton telling his life story in a group therapy session, which I thought worked pretty well. His life story is also pretty cool. There's romance, a pretty raunchy sex scene, and some moments that are heavy, but not too heavy.
I will say I'm not as big a fan of Elton John as I am Queen, music-wise, so I'd give it about the same score. However, I was really high on the music in BR, so the missing plot points stuck out to me a bit more.
7.5/10
