Everything about this film was executed perfectly in making of it, with quality fantastic visuals, music, the production, everything about the film is fantastic. The story is presented in songs and dancing unlike any other film ever made. A perfect film about a legendary real life music artist Elton John that truly changed to world with his music.

My daughter & wife went to see it in the theater and was pleasantly entertained. Every actor did a great job and a very talented group, from the beginning of the movie to the end. Great music as you would expect from any movie, even fantasy based on fact about Elton John & Bernie Taupin, would be and it did not disappoint. We loved it.

Thank you for offering this movie in a Steelbox set. I’m a big Elton John fan who gave this movie 5 stars when I saw it in the theater. I was glad to see this set offered for pre-order, including the 4K version. Best Buy is the only online store that gives me free shipping, reward certificates, and Steelbook sets of my favorite movies.

Rocketman is a movie about Elton’s life from a young age to the man he is today. Elton has a rough childhood. When he got older, he had problems with alcohol and cocaine, which nearly killed. This movie contains so much info on Elton that it is hard to review in this small space. Please watch Rocketman and let us know what you think.

Elton John produced this film which is his biography since he was a child, when he learned to play piano, his stardom, conflicts, depression and his relation with Bernie Taupin as composers. His homosexuality is also portrayed. This is musical film with many o& his hits. Very entertaining specially if you are an Elton John fan.

The Year Of Biopics

The 4K transfer looks great. Probably the only major film from once great Paramount Pictures this year. Performances are excellent and the phantasy treatment of Elton John's lengthy career was a good idea over a linear plot. 2019 will be remembered for biopics of Queen, John, The Beatles, Springsteen, and Garland!

Comparisons have been made to Bohemian Rhapsody, which I think is a mistake. This is a musical that tells the life story of an artist, than a a biopic with music. And after watching the bonus features, that was the intent of Elton and the screen writer. Taron does an excellent turn as the Rocketman.

so When this was coming out I didn’t get why the actor was going to sing and not lip sync Elton. I wasn’t sure I wanted to see it because of that. Then I saw the film and not only understood the need but after the first song it no longer mattered because it was so well done and so necessary. This is a great movie for any Elton fan and enjoyable to anyone else too.

The DVD Rocketman was very well done. It tells the story of Elton John starting with the point in his life where he decided to change things for the better while looking back on his life. The music is fantastic and Targon does a fantastic job singing, dancing, and playing Elton!

How can you have a movie about Elton John without music? well you can not and this movie is full of all the hits. Put out in a movie musical format Rocketman was very entertaining. It told Eltons story in a unique way. Really enjoyed it. Glad we bought it so we can watch it again.

Sound and picture quality are excellent.
Great cinematography.
Nice 2:39:1 aspect ratio.
The story line exceeds expectations.
Taron does a very good job singing Elton John's songs but there exists a subtle difference between the original music and his new performances.

I heard mixed reviews when it was in the theaters, but as an Elton John fan, I had to see if for myself, and I loved it. It is a musical, which is why some I know didn't like it, but the actor that plays Elton John is amazing, and so is everyone else and the music.

Bohemian What-sody?!

Great film. Far superior to last year’s Queen biopic Bohemian Raphsody. Instead of playing it “by the numbers” and safe, Rocketman takes risks and isn’t afraid to show its lead character’s dark side and struggles with addiction (of all kinds). Worth every penny.

From the get go Elton John has created such a music library that having that in any film is going to make it a hit. Now that being said, the overall story to me was just OK. It didn't grab me like Bohemian Rhapsody and that is alright. I enjoyed but I think its the sound track more then anything that will make me watch again.

Wasn't for sure what to expect in this movie, but it turned out to be very informative along with a different slant that wasn't so much public about his childhood.
The limited edition steelbook package is pretty cool and also comes with a thick booklet that Elton wrote for us, the customers.
A must have for your collection!

This movie was not what I expected. It gave off some serious stage musical vibes at times, but was very entertaining. The singing talents of the actors are amazing! Elton John's story was told in a wonderfully embellished way that is truly fitting.
