More of a musical than a biopic (0 more)
Anyone expecting a biopic in the same way bohemian rhapsody was will be somewhat disappointed.This is more of a musical with elements of Elton's life thrown inbetween each musical number.

This film was never gonna reach the same heights as b.r did but does contain some very strong performances by egerton and bell as john and bernie taupin.The relationship (or lack of) between the young elton and his parents could have been explored in a bit more detail instead of just portraying them as the cold and unloving people they seemed to be.

This film wont win any Oscar's but is still enjoyable and worthy of watching.

Bell-Bottom George - It Serves You Right

George Formby entertains the navy by singing, dancing, and (eventually) demonstrating his mastery of the ukulele in this musical number from the film.

  
This is the greatest show...
Still singing the songs many months later! Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron both give outstanding performances, while the supporting cast of singers will make you laugh, sigh and weep. A feel good family musical with an uplifting message of acceptance and love - heard in every song on the OST. Powerful chords, moving lyrics and strong voices give these tracks the motivational sound I look for in a modern musical!

Not What I Expected
I was really excited to see the movie, I guess I didn't realize it was a musical. This would have been wonderful without the music. The story line is amazing and it explained so much about the beginning of the circus. It's not horrible, but you do have to sit through a lot of singing.

Cheesey Scripting
A Good Memory
Its a cute film to watch if you're a Mamma Mia fan but beyond this the film was cheesey and unimpressive. The only place it even holds up to the force of the first film was in the musical numbers themselves. Beyond this the film cannot stand on its own nor does it really make a mark anywhere beyond the music.

Compared to theatrical versions, this movie did a great job of bringing all the best aspects of Les Mis to the big screen! By far my favorite stage-to-big-screen musical!!!

"Karen O was a huge inspiration for me in my early musical journey. I loved how she was able to merge her folk music writing tendencies within the format of rock music."

"Dylan Thomas was the first writer to reach my heart. His work is musical and essentially a painting with words. It still feels like a dream to immerse myself in this piece."
