Rocketman is a great film that attempts to be something different than your typical music biopic. It is very depressing at times but extremely colorful as well. The acting is incredible especially from Taron Egerton and Jamie Bell. Their chemistry together is remarkable. The music was great, the sets were big and beautiful, and the costumes are award winning especially with how accurate they are. Rocketman is not a perfect film by any measure it still falls into the same old formula of your typical biopic but the director, writer, and producers really did try to do something different with it. Speaking of different Mike Talent enjoyed the film but thought it was just ok, nothing special. He prefers last year’s Bohemian Rhapsody over Rocketman giving it 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt on the other hand really enjoyed the feature. I know crazy right he not only sat through an entire musical but he liked it a lot. He thinks it was better than the other film we have named too many times now. Matt gives Rocketman 4 out of 5 Reels.
