Rocketman

I figured that if nothing else, at least the music would be good. Rocketman makes an effort to bring some colour and zing to its telling, and does a reasonable job at giving a sense of the person who became the outsized star, but ultimately the story - musical prodigy who was always a bit different hits it big and runs into trouble with drugs and predatory music industry people and finally makes peace with who he is - just isn't especially compelling.
