A colorfully, messy, authentic creative ride! I felt like the story was missing some depth, but I feel like this type of movie musical (like Across the Universe) lends itself better to kaleidoscopic breadth over intense, searing depth.

Being in the shadows of Bohemian Rhapsody didn't do this film any justice. The story feels similar (yet different), though this one does take a different tack by making it more of a musical and making use of flashbacks to enhance the story. Taron Egerton is amazing in this role and is worth watching on his own. I also wasn't as familiar with Elton John's music, which may have soared my enjoyment a little. At the end of the day, it's not as crowd-pleasing but it is still a decent watch.

So you're watching this. And it's fine. A bit formulaic, but at least the costumes get more and more outrageous, so there's something to look at. You end up feeling inclined to like this movie. Then you watch the deleted scenes and discover that they cut a minor but viable subplot about the emerging AIDS crisis, which actually showed Elton getting his head out of his ass and caring about something other than himself and suddenly you're feeling less generous and end up cutting 8 points.

The first scenes of Rocketman filled me with enormous joy, and in truth, that feeling never left me for the duration. The use of EJ's back catalog (despite at first confusing me by being out of time sequence) was masterfully done. My low score is not a reflection of my enjoyment of the music and overall story, but how all other characters were so poorly fleshed out. No other characters, including Bernie Taupin were anything other than ciphers, which gave the film a very "throw away" feeling.

Not as fundamentally broken as last year's Bohemian Rhapsody (though few things are), but there's no shortage of really bizarre decisions that leave you wondering who out there is asking to see this stuff.

It's hard not to compare this with last year's Bohemian Rhapsody - especially as Fletcher stepped in to finish that film as well. If BR was cutting corners and providing a cleaned up version of the story, Rocketman presents Elton in rather unpleasant light with all his addictions and insecurities which I thought is quite admirable, especially with his approval. It also gives room for e.g. his long time lyricist and makes it clear that Elton wouldn't be where he is without their co-operation.

It's Bohemian Rhapsody all over again, but they've taken care of the gayness. I swear they've re-used some of the scenery. Just like in the Queen movie we get no idea what drove the artist, we just get a National Geographic-y summary of their public life, including all their cardboard "enemies". There's a George Michael-movie already in the works by the same production agency, looking just like this, mark my words.

Much more of a coherent experience than (the obvious comparison) ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. I’m not a much of an Egerton fan, but here he is undeniably in impressively good form. Uses its music very well and gets its messages across. Solid.

As a kid, I was in love with Elton John, and so it's doubly painful to see him get the generic biopic treatment. For such a larger-than-life stagemen certainly you could have done more to set it apart from other rock biopics besides adding a couple of flashy costumes? (And what did you do to those songs??)

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

Really enjoyed it, Egerton is just great in this role. Stronger than Bohemian Rhapsody in every way.

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".

The guy who wrote the music in this movie killed it. Awesome stuff. Also, the movie's good too.
