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.

If you like Elton John you will like this film. If you like music you will like this music. Well written, well acted with some very good music. Some great insight on a rock and roll legend. Definite add for your movie collection. Hope you have a good sound system to enhance the viewing.

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.

I absolutely love Elton John. I did't know what to expect when I purchased this movie. It definitely is uniquely put together and produced. I learned a lot about Sir Elton's life that I didn't realize happened to him in his early years.

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.

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.
