I like Elton John's music but this movie just wasn't very good. The choreography wasn't great, the star didn't do a very good impression and only sort of looked like him. The main song in the film that won an Oscar wasn't even any good, and obviously it only won because it was Elton John. The subject of the movie (Elton John's life and troubles and music) is cool but that doesn't automatically make it a good movie, it's more like a cheap, by the numbers After School Special that happens to have Elton's music in it. It's no better than the worst episode of Behind the Music, because at least those seem like real people telling real stories. Very disappointed in this one.
