Dented Steelbook. Everything else was okay other than a big dent in the corner of my Steelbook copy I ordered for Store Pickup. A little upset that they grabbed a dented copy off the shelf.

Love Sir Elton. Everything about this film was like hitting the rewind button in my memories from that period in time. Spot on! WoW, Loved it! Well Done!

Truly AMAZING film, befitting of the one and only, Elton John. Taron Egerton’s performance was fantastic.

This bio-pic of rock 'n roll icon Elton John is this year's "Bohemian Rhapsody." The Freddie Mercury story made a small fortune at the box office and walked away with a handful of Oscars, including one for Rami Malek as Best Actor. Maybe lightning will strike twice because "Rocketman" deserves the same respect. In fact, in terms of production numbers and pacing, it is better than "Rhapsody," which suffered from a sluggish middle act before delivering the goods in its rousing finale. "The Kingsman" star Taron Egerton seems an unlikely choice for the role of Sir Elton, but he plays the part so convincingly you quickly forget that this is the kid who set the movie world on fire spoofing James Bond. The soundtrack covers most of Elton's greatest hits, presented in zippy bits of staging that approximate the thrill of John in concert. If you've never seen the man live because you can't afford the steep ticket prices, pick up this film for a fraction of the cost and turn the lights down and volume up. It's two hours of rock 'n roll bliss.
