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!

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.

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

 I actually have the time to sit down and watch the movie for the first time. Actually, the movie is good and I got it at a great price only have Best Buy.

Great Elton John docudrama/musical. This was my first Best Buy online purchase delivered to my home, I have used curbside pickup multiple time. Ordered and received 2 days later.

Fantastic movie and Best buy sent within a week very pleased with online service.

This is one of the best adaptation movies for an autobiography. I love how the scenes turn into misocals.

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.

I absolutely love this film. Using Elton's music as the soundtrack to his life story is brilliant!!! I cannot say enough about this movie. From the opening scene, in his Bob Mackie outfit to the closing credits, this is a cinematic wonder. Impressively beautiful. Visually it is spectacular. As vibrant and alive as Elton himself is. Taron Egerton and Jamie Bell have a transcendent chemistry. They show the true love and friendship the two men have for one another, co-writing music together for over 50 years, writing some of the most beloved songs of all time. The entire cast was amazing. Bryce Dallas Howard as Elton's cold and distant mother. Richard Madden as John Reid, Elton's cruel lover/manager. Gemma Jones as his supportive, loving grandmother. All of them did such a great job with their characters. Although I have owned the discs for such a short time, I have watched the film half a dozen times already, and that number will continue to increase over time. This is a must see movie.

At first glance, Rocketman may be a bit jarring to watch at times because it's not just a biographical film, it's a musical, but that was the point. Elton John has lived an incredible life, and it's only natural that his movie should be exaggerated. Thanks to his timeless musical hits, Elton John takes the viewer on a ride as he deals with his early life, fame, sexuality, drugs, alcoholism, depression, and love. Taron Egerton was meant to play Elton John, and the seeds were already planted if you followed his career so far. Not only was Elton John in the Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Egerton sang I'm Still Standing in Sing. It's just a shame he didn't get nominated for a Oscar. For Steelbook fans, it's worth the extra money. Overall, if you are an Elton John fan, you don't need me to tell you to pick up this film. Rocketman is a feel good movie from start to finish.

Disclaimer! I am a life long Elton John fan. With that said, thoroughly enjoyable flick! Although I was expecting a more bio-pic of his life, I had to get used to the dialogue turning into musical numbers with Grandma singing “l want love”! But, once you realize that this is a musical based on the life of Elton with his songs as the storyline, enjoy. Excellent acting chops by Egerton as Elton, along with as excellent supporting cast. Comparisons by many pitting this against Bohemian Rhapsody but I think totally different tone and character development in each five unique perspective on leads. Well worth a view!

Beautifully shot, extremely well acted and yet somehow the music takes a back seat IMHO. There are some chill bump moments of Elton and Bernie's first collaborations but, while I was told this was more like a musical it really isn't. I appreciate the departure from Bohemian Rhapsody but, in the end both suffer from spending too much time in the fallow years (they just aren't that interesting musically or story wise) and not enough in the alchemic launching pad days which is where the excitement and pathos really is. Yes Elton lost himself but, all we really see are sketches. All that said, it's a ride worth taking but, just be prepared for a lot of melancholia. Picture is A- in 4K maybe just slightly flat but, still with good detail. Sound is tight and compact, at good levels between all the going back and forth between music and dialog.

Learning the beginnings of Sir Elton John was very enlightening. I've been a fan of his music since 1970. I never knew of his upbringing. After watching this film I'm an even bigger fan than I was before. You definitely need to check it out if you haven't seen it yet.

There were high expectations for this movie because of two reasons: it is about Elton John and it followed quickly behind “Bohemian Rhapsody”.and it comes pretty closs to achieving that lofty goal. Not as dramatic as the Queen epic ending but has many great moments. The fantasy bothered some but I thought it made the film special and memorable. The structure of the story telling is fascinating. The performance by Tarn Egerton is amazing especially since he did most of the singing.

Some of our friends are put off by musicals and fantasies. If so avoid this film. However if you like your characters breaking out in dance and music for no apparent reason while floating above the ground this movie is for you. Expectation were high after Bohemian Rhapsody and this does not reach that emotional connection. But it has many wonderful moments. The depiction of the young Elton John is excellent. I hope they do a sequel since he accomplished as much in music and deeds in the second half of his story.

I love this movie! It is so well made! I really enjoyed how he/they incorporated his songs to tell the story of Elton John's life starting from when he was a small child as a musical prodigy. And kudos to Sir Elton John for having the courage to show his very human and vulnerable side so we can all relate that even a Superstar Rocket Man can run into the same pitfalls in life we all do at times and still be able to persevere and rise above in a more difficult time. What a success story! What a man!

Taron Egerton was wrongly not nominated for the Oscar but that shouldn’t take away from how awesome he was and how real this movie was. I recently read the book Elton wrote and it’s fun to sort of correlate certain things from book to movie. Now obviously the movie takes a lot of liberties and is told as more of a fantasy movie but that’s the point of it. This was a better movie than Bohemian if you ask me and was unfortunately overlooked come Oscar season.

Probably one my favorite musicals to date. I went in with no expectations and came out an even bigger fan of Elton John. I had always known his music and listened here and there. But to see his story on the big screen, it really blew me away. Also Taron Edgerton was phenomenal. The guy literally sang his heart out for this role. Such a great film, highly recommend.
