Great music, interesting story, perfect cast. (0 more)
Bit too cheesy, musical not biography. (0 more)
Exceptional fun
After seeing Bohemian Rhapsody only a few months ago, I had quite high hopes for the film seeing as it was directed by the same director who (unofficially) took over for the director of Rhapsody and boy did the film deliver. A fun filled film with loads of toe tapping music and an intriguing story to go along with it.

Fairly cheesy in parts but it's to be expected when it's a film about Elton John. Also it felt more of a musical than bohemian Rhapsody which took me put of the film and made it feel almost fake at times.

Perfect for the West End or Broadway but a fun film nonetheless.

Lack of a song with a musical chorus, ie with Rihanna or Dido. (0 more)
Getting back to form
Eminem is getting back to form with this release, it's not up to his early standards but is getting close, the quality, speed and vocal dexterity of his rapping has never been in question but the material hasn't always been the best. This is an improvement.

The one thing it does lack is a song with a musical chorus to break up the rap - he has done this well with Dido and Rihanna in the past and something like this would have been a big plus...

Definately an album that has a replay factor, and not a one listen and put away disc.

"King Kong was a musical from South Africa that had an all-black cast. It was a fusion of South African traditional music, soul and jazz. It was so powerful when I listened to it for all those nights. I fell in love with that musical, which was a very big part of my life. I think [I was drawn to] the authenticity of the voice of what people call world music or ethnic music coming from the earth, of the people, the hope and their struggle. South Africans are so strong with their emotions and I think Africa itself is an amazing, inspirational place for music, because they live and breathe it. It was for me, a connection with the soul."
