They both play fast and loose with facts but at least rocketman presents itself as a bit of a fantasy musical that uses his songs to tell the story...bo rap is mostly made up from start to finish and is a pretty boring story and film that succeeds only on the strength of the songs and malik's performance. Overly - sanitised is a bit of an understatement!poprock wrote:We had those two movies that came out around the same time recently - Bohemian Rhapsody, with Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury, and Rocketman with Taron Egerton as Elton John.
