Rocketman, bir filmin gerçekten bir film olabilmesi için yerine getirmesi gereken ne kadar kural varsa hepsini rahatlıkla başarıyor. Başta Taron Egerton'ın muhteşem Elton John performansı olmak üzere yardımcı oyuncuların da hakkını vermek gerekiyor. Baştan sona leziz bir müzikal. Dexter Fletcher'ın ise Bohemian Rhapsody gibi ortalama bir filmi tamamlamasının hemen ardından bu kadar şahane bir film çekebilmesine de şaşırmamak elde değil.

Haven't watched it, rating it low because I don't like minorities and want less of their for lack of a better term propaganda recommended to me.

If this movie were just the cool musical transitions and dance scenes, I'd give this a much higher score. However, the plot itself was incoherent and unfocused while having a hard time producing any semblance of emotion. Despite how stylized and experimental this film is, it still ultimately follows the same story beats any other rockstar biopic does. There are moments that could have some dramatic resonance, but the usage of these scenes was insubstantial. mostly boring tbh.

Now I'm really starting do dig musical films and biographies. Bohemian Rhapsody felt plastic, this one feels wooden and a tad bit more pristine, even honest on times (can't help myself to not compare them). I like the magical realism touch and it seems to be in-sync with Elton's inner self. There are cheesy moments and some characters could be better fitted into the narrative, but hey, then we would get a spectacular film. Great to watch in the cinema. Ticket line was empty, unlike Queen's.Shame

I was a little thrown at first since I did not expect this to be an actual movie musical. I thought it was a biographical drama with some of Elton John's music. While it still is a biographical drama (with very heavy subject matter), it is also a musical fantasy. It does manage to merge the two well. Taron Egerton was outstanding!

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Although of course thematically different, I got vibes of Chicago and La La Land in how it constructs the musical portion of the offering. You can definitely see Elton’s involvement - both good and bad - but the music, story and Taron are all great. I love Taron Egerton and I really hope this is his breakout performance for the awards ceremonies.

A fantasy, rock and roll biopic musical. Not realistic, very predictable and full of cliches. This movie was very hard to watch at times...it's that bad. I was hoping for more of a straightforward realistic biopic. Instead it's a fantasy musical with dance numbers. The surreal moments director Dexter Fletcher is going for in the film, just doesn't seem to work. Edgerton does do a good impression of Elton, but that's about it. This movie was a lot worse than I thought it was going to be.

Although honestly I'm not exactly a huge fan of musicals or biopics, I still kind of enjoyed the magical realism of the stylized musical numbers, as well as the main performances here. However, most of the "drama" still felt like it was just checking off all the "Behind the Music" cliche boxes along the way. Although with that said, as someone who genuinely prefers the farting astronaut hijinks of "Rocketman"(1997), I might look elsewhere for second opinions on this one.

There are very few personalities, even in an industry as eclectic (and often flamboyant) as the music industry, where this jukebox musical fantasy-style biopic would work. Elton John is one of them. It feels very honest, which sounds weird given the descriptors I used above. As with all biopics, I'm sure it omits (due in no small part to the time period it features), but that's a genre downfall that I won't hold against this movie specifically. Taron Egerton is so damn good. Impeccable casting.

A pretty decent combination of a traditional musical with a rock biopic. Has some cheesy moments for sure but the gritty and surreal elements and the fantastic performance from Egerton save it!

I quite enjoyed this. I didn’t know it was going to be a jukebox musical as well as a biopic going in, so it took me by surprise at first, but I really dug that style. The musical numbers were great, of course - Elton John has so many good songs. Taron Egerton was fantastic. He embodied John really well, and sang very well too. It was fun as a fantastical musical and interesting to learn about John’s life. I had a good time with it.

Far superior to BOHEMIAN in just about every aspect. This film feels like a whole concept realized, and at its core is an emotional climax in favor of a grandiose eighteen-minute rock concert recreation. And if Rami Malek can win an Oscar for not singing, then Taron Egerton sure as shit better be at least nominated for one of the best performances this year. Though this falls into many obvious tropes, it's still flamboyantly, whimsically fun.

I really enjoyed this one. Whereas Bohemian Rhapsody came across less as a labor of love, and more as surefire Oscars hit, Rocketman takes the more experimental route. This film is the personality and persona of Elton packed into a film format. It's flashy, sassy and not afraid to let you into some more personal and troubling moments than you may have been prepared for going in. A fantastic one, through and through, and I think a model for musical biopics going forward.

Everything that Bohemian Rhapsody was missing. I wonder how much of my positive attitude towards this is a reaction to the former? Sleek direction and a palpable sense of Elton’s POV achieves a more personal feeling than your average biopic. Some of it doesn’t quite payoff, but I have to commend the creativity in how the story is told.

Rock stars are suited for biopics: rags to riches lives, hubris, a fall & comeback. The problem’s they’ve become cliches & that’s the case here. It also doesn’t help that the lyrics (maybe bc they were written by Taupin) usually only kind of voice Elton’s feelings. Is “Tiny Dancer” really what he should be singing when Taupin leaves to hook up with someone? The Mercury biopic stood out by showing how being gay made him lonely. But for Elton it’s mostly another cliche: bad parents

Besides the scene of his first performance in California, this entire film is atrocious. It obviously has enough material to form an incredibly interesting story, and, yet, this chooses to go into detail on the most uninteresting areas. The songs come up during the worst times. The lead cannot show any range or emotion at all. I look forward to seeing a real story on this legend's life somewhat soon. Feels like bad gay cinema, almost stereotypical

Flashy direction and great performances put this above a lot of biopics and its use of stylised vignettes for the musical elements makes it pop. It falls into a few of the tropes of the genre but it's worth seeing. I like about half of the songs in it and they're done justice except for Benny and the Jets which is a little too modernised for me. The villain is a serious boo hiss figure, wonder if he was that awful in real life?

A fun biopic Musical/Fantasy movie that features many of Elton's songs that are played relevant to the movie scenes and filled with stylish visuals and sounds. Played brilliantly by Taron Egerton, the movie delivers an emotional ride through the ups and downs of Elton's life. It thankfully does not sanitize Elton's issues and you see him get into drugs, alcohol, and homosexuality stuff. The movie is very nicely shot and acted too. There is clearly alot of effort put into this film and the music.
