Taron Egerton gives an Oscar-worthy performance as Elton John in ROCKETMAN

ROCKETMAN is a musical biopic based on the life of legendary singer Elton John. From his childhood years in a troubled home to his early success as a musician. The film made use of the flamboyant singer's many hits to tell his story. There were fantasy moments in the narrative which made it more entertaining. And they didn't shy away from the singer's  addiction to sex, drugs, and alcohol. 

Taron Egerton is absolutely amazing in becoming Elton John. He was able to showcase the pop icon's emotions, talents, and sexuality. He did all the singing throughout the movie. He's definitely deserving of an Oscar. The supporting cast also gave great performances. The two boys as the young Eltons. Jamie Bell as Elton's writing partner Bernie Taupin. Richard Madden as Elton's manager and lover John Reid. And Bryce Dallas Howard as Elton's mom.

Director Dexter Fletcher, who finished BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY when Bryan Singer was fired, should also be commended for his work. He should at least get a nomination from the Golden Globe and Oscar awards.

There are still more songs of Elton John which were not in this film. Could this mean that there's a sequel coming up soon ? I really enjoyed watching this one, and I wanna see more. Taron Egerton should consider a musical career as well since he's a really great singer.  Rated R. From Paramount Pictures. Photos c/o United International Pictures.
