If you are an Elton John fan and wanted to see a movie about the rise of Reginald Dwight to superstar - This is not the movie for you. The biggest problem begins with twisting the chronology of musical compositions putting popular hits in to the days when he was a struggling musician. If you wanted to put all of the chronology and music and costumes and origin story into a blender and then have somebody write a musical filled with actor singer dancers about the goo that came out of the blender... This is the movie. It's not unwatchable, and does have some entertainment value but it's just kind of strange and leaves me wishing there were an actual movie that told Reginald's story - about the evolution of the music and his career as it actually happened. Overall it ended up leaving me frustrated and disappointed.
