Rocketman

While Rocketman follows specific musical bio-pic structures, its choice to turn the sub-genre upside down with its style shows homage to not only the man but his eternal impact on music.

Love this film. Went to see it at the cinema at least half a dozen times and i still dont understand why it wasnt awarded many oscars especially as, it was a much better film than bohemian rapsody imo Bo rap seemed to be a more santitised portrayal than rocketman which was a warts and all story. Loved what they did with the musical numbers - improving saturday nights alright in particular and the haunting tune of goodbye yellow brick road interspersing many scenes. The only downside i would say was the extended doom and gloom. It starts off ignited with humour despite the grim reality of his depression til finally there was nothing left but a further decline. I get that they wanted to show realism but it became at times self pitying and mawkish (the child saying to elton when are you going to hug me and bernies speech about him being ever so talented). In fact the whole scene in the therapy room where people in his life had their say was mawkish and self pitying. But that aside it was a fine film. Just needed to shave around 15 mins of the self pity drug fuelled scenes out. Having said that ive seen deleted scenes about ryan white and his partner at the time hugh which i think would have been better staying in the film as it explained more about his resolve to kick the drink and drugs. As it was it focussed too much on his relationship with bernie which, by all accounts, wasnt really the reason he began to turn his life around

A heart wrenching and massively entertaining auto biography that should appease any Elton John fan.

While BoRap was one straight line of quality, this film is one of soaring highs and dull lows. Anytime it goes into a musical sequence, it's enthralling with amazing filmmaking and performances. Anytime it isn't, it's...kind of dull? There's some good drama towards the end but for the most part I was just kinda waiting for the next musical number the whole time. Still better than BoRap

Rocketman is a mature, well-executed, and highly entertaining musical biopic that will undoubtedly make you fall in love with Elton John.

En mi opinión esta es una excelente película para ser una película para ser una historia de biografia , no tenía esperanza de que narraran bien la vida de mi cantante favorito pero la manera en la que se cuenta la historia y las excelentes actuaciones la posiciona como una muy buena película para ver si te gusta la música de sir Elton John o la música de los mil novecientos ochenta en general

Sadly, this thoughtful, creatively-assembled music biopic has been overshadowed by inferior productions that were hyped by Hollywood and the the sheeple who blindly follow these out of touch and pretentious elitists. Unlike Bohemian Rhapsody, which did very little to develop the characters and real relationships but instead was simply a showcase for somebody who would be a good cover artist for Freddie Mercury, Rocketman tells an engaging and thought-provoking story in a creative way that doesn't worry about timelines or copycat renditions, at least not until the closing credits where they essentially duplicate the original video of I'm Still Standing. Much like The Greatest Showman, this movie deserved a lot more love and should have won several awards!

Nice movie......!!!!

Rocketman is a dazzling, energetic, and cleverly musically stylized biopic about Elton John that veers away from Hollywood’s unfortunate tendency to make bland and basic musical biopics. Taron Egerton’s portrayal of Elton John was perfect and really and me feeling that this is one of the most shining biopics I’ve ever seen. Grading: A-

Made me cry. A lot.
