9.6/10 stinky bananas

This is one of my favourite movies of recent memory. Taron Egerton gives a fantastic performance as Sir Elton John, much better than that Mr. Robot dude who played Freddie Mercury. I specifically appreciated how the music was intertwined with the story, as opposed to having the music be apart of some 5 minute montage of the band performing on stage like it was in Bohemian Rhapsody.

Apart from that, Rocketman had me gripped for the entirety of the movie as it explored the lightest and darkest parts of Elton's life. It doesn't hurt that Elton has friggin sick music.

Watch this movie because I said so.
