Rocketman

This movie was a huge disappointment for me. I heard so many great things about it and it failed to deliver anything. I couldnt feal bad for Elton, i know i should have but it just felt flat. The only scene i enjoyed was when Kit Connor was playing little Reggie and that was.. what 10 minutes of the movie? It was predictable, even the scene where he tried to kill himself fell flat. Wouldnt recommend it to anyone. Dont get why it is rating to high

A very flashy and "Elton John" way of telling a story, 'Rocketman' is a new way to portray the life of rockstar in a biopic. It may follow a similar formula, but it's far more entertaining and well-filmed than others.

Rocketman beautifully encapsulates the complex life of Elton John while utilising its fantastical visuals and musical sequences to engage the audience emotionally from start to finish. The film’s strength lies in its ability to merge reality with theatricality, using dream-like sequences to convey Elton’s inner turmoil and rise to fame. The film carries a star-studded cast that contributes not only their names but incredible performances that, in my opinion, drive the film to be considered one of the greatest. In particular, Taron Egerton's portrayal of John is nothing short of remarkable, bringing emotional depth to the character. His performance from beginning to end showcases his immense acting talent and vulnerability. Rocketman showcases how Egerton can convey vulnerability and charisma in not only a single scene but a single moment. The soundtrack plays a critical role in moving the plot forward and each song is expertly woven into the narrative. Egerton’s vocal performance is one that no amount of awards could properly honour. The music is a highlight of the film, and all the vocals, spotlighting Egerton, make the soundtrack one to consistently go back to. The film changes a person and their view on show-business, and I know this from personal experience genuinely never being the same since seeing it. Though it was controversially overlooked for Best Picture at the 2019 Academy Awards, Rocketman will undoubtedly continue to resonate and impact audiences for years to come.

This does everything right. It tells a biopic of a rock star that feels like the rockstar telling the entire story. The visuals, the comedy, the drama, everything about this film feels Elton John, and what makes Elton John so great. Best Biopic I have ever seen and makes up for Bohemian Rhapsody. Egerton is fantastic and needed an Oscar nom for this. Just him alone is enough to get you on board with the film. A film.

Caveat: This is a musical, centered on the life (and works of Elton John). The marriage of his songs and his lifestory is truly magical, moving and uplifting. His tale of recovery is an inspiration to myself and others. Congratulatons Sir Elton on 34 years of sobriety!

Sir Elton is a legend and here he is given the biopic treatment that he deserves by a gifted cast and a director who understands the culturally influential and hugely talented subject. Magical but the certification is for a reason.

It was so disjointed. My head hurt watching it

I really loved the direction of this film, the performances and the songs, I didn't know much about Elton Jhon and seeing this film made me rethink a lot about several things in my life. I know that this film can help a lot of people to overcome their difficulties too, and the ending with the song "i'm still standing" made me cry at the end of it all, anyway, I highly recommend this film!

I loved how well it was performed and the song's brought back memories. However, it is a very sad story with a little too much sex in this movie. I enjoyed it but definitely wouldn't go back to watch it again.

Good to see the story of this music icon. I like listening to a couple of Elton John's songs (I'm Still Standing, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Crocodile Rock, and of course, the song this movie is named after Rocketman) and I liked learning more about the guy who sings it. I definitely like learning more about music history. Rocketman is different than other biopics as it is a musical.
