Dexter Fletcher's ROCKETMAN (2019)

He still is standing after all this time, 
And it's sure fun to see a version of
His story that's as flashy, fun and wild
As Elton John's stage shows. Of course we love
The songs, and Taron sings them very well
And he's a sensitive, expressive face
That pairs up nicely with one Jamie Bell
(I want him as Ray Davies ere our race
Burns out its fuse). A playful fantasy
With brief, dark moments, seems exactly right, 
As do the costumes. If this had to be
A movie, at least keep it moving, bright 
And soulful, like Sir Elton's greatest tunes. 
I guess that's why this film kept making news.
