musical numbers made me ecstatic, and I'm not even an Elton fan. They were bold, and full of magical transitions, moving the story through time, space, and emotion to the fullest extent of film. Equally courageous is Egerton's performance, a high intensity unleashing of all his skill. With all this, Elton is made to be truly legendary, much, much larger than life. Unfortunately, he remains larger than life, and the film's traditional sex, drugs, rock'n'rehab story does little to humanize him

This genre is so formulaic, which makes me appreciate all the small creative touches that is scattered throughout Rocketman. An obvious comparison is to Bohemian Rhapsody, and I would argue Rocketman is the better film in all regards, except for the underlining music catalogue.

This is more of a musical than Bo Rhap. I kept thinking I wish it would be a little bit slower at times, painting more of a picture in terms of what he was like as a child. There is a bit featured but not much. Also when he starts to become famous, there isn't much shown in terms of his success in the UK-obv. he is a big name in the US but he must have spent more time touring the UK before he became the household name he is in America. Its an entertaining watch overall but not quite great IMHO.

Never has crowbarring sing-along hits from the catalogue into the narrative been done so awkwardly since Mama Mia. Settles down eventually.

Taron Egerton's powerhouse performance,Elton John's music,the stylistic directing and the energy and production in the musical sequences do enough to make this incredibly cliche bio-pic story worth watching

As someone who isn't much of a fan, I didn't realize how many Elton John songs I actually know. More music biopics should be "musical fantasies".

Watching Rocketman after Bohemian Rhapsody, it's hard not to compare the 2 films. While I prefer the music of Queen, having no true affinity for John's, I actually preferred this film. Not only did it have a better framing device (John overcoming his addiction), but Egerton managed to capture John's spirit, while BR settled for its subjects mannerisms. There were plenty of dull moments and biopic staples (as the story has become pedestrian) but when the film leans into its campiness, it shines.

The movie popped with more style and pizzazz and a bit less on narration. I loved the musical numbers and reinterpretations of Elton's discography, but I think you have to love the music to like it - like if you'd go to a Vegas or Broadway revue of the music. Wonderful costume design and Taron Egerton absolutely rocked this.

I thought in both lights as a musical and as a biopic, the movie just didn't live up to my expectations as either. It was fun hearing many of Elton's hits.

I liked Egerton's performance. The experimental music scenes--somewhat reminiscent of the approach that I first saw in A Hard Day's Night--that seemed to be their own individual music videos were fun and inspired. But the rest of the story was your standard rock biopic and never truly engaged. Not bad by any means, but underwhelming compared to my expectations.

It's appropriate that Bryce Dallas Howard plays Elton John's mum in this glitzy, simplistic two hour music video. Because at various times Taron Egerton resembles Clint Howard, Bryce's uncle.

It's a different take at the musical genre that failed to capture me and also lacks the re-watchability of last years "Bohemian Rhapsody".

Çok problemli bir film olmasına rağmen Bohemian Rhapsody'den sonra ilaç gibi geldi. Taron Everton iyi oynamasına rağmen vokal performansı çok etkileyici değil.Bryce Dallas Howard her zamanki gibi çok kötü. Müzikal bölümleri yer yer çok iyi ama genellikle neredeyse 20 sene önceki Chicago'nun bile gerisinde.

I don’t like musicals and slightly prefer Queen’s music, but this is easily better than last year’s Bohemian Rhapsody, which was still fairly good. The acting is great, music is done tastefully, and Dexter Fletcher does an excellent job of using the music segments as a way to tell the story and transition from scene to scene. The ending feels slightly abrupt and I would’ve liked to see more of the future, but it’s not a bad ending. Even if you aren’t a fan, it’s a worthwhile film.

This was a big mess! Partly musical, partly biography. Never been a fan of Elton John, and im not any closer to being that now after watching this. Same story with all the big musicians.. drugs, sex, chaos amd drama. It's gettting old.

Instead of yet another biopic Rocketman goes full on musical with staged dance sequences. Taron Egerton plays a believable Elton John and in the end you understand him as a person and not just as a character or musician. By the end John/Egerton earned to recreate the "I'm still standing" music video and you are just happy for him.

Exciting directing--this was unexpectedly an actual musical, not simply a biopic with songs in the expected places. Vastly preferred this inventive film to Bohemian Rhapsody (not that it's a contest).

Terribly inconsistent - there were really great scenes and ones that would have me dozing off. Taron Elgerton was pretty good as Elton John (as far as I can tell, there were lots of stuff I had never heard about). Ultimately the movie is just forgettable, which is a real shame considering the interesting subject.

Never manages to get outside the standard trappings of a biopic, and the jukebox musical format fails as much as it succeeds. Bryce Dallas Howard WYD?
