Rocketman [SteelBook] [Includes Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray] [Only @ Best Buy] [2019]

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.

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.

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.

I was never a fan of Elton's. However, after watching this movie. I admire him a great deal more now. He had a rough younger life with a father that was borderline cruel. Maybe that's where his success comes from. I was amazed that a friend wrote the words and Elton created the music from them. Truly an amazing artist. He truly deserves to be a top musician.

I was not expecting it to be a musical format but the dance routines were spectacular. Impressed with the acting and also that the music was recorded and produced by George Martins son(The Beatles producer). Also loved the extras. Loved that Elton John was open to the slightly different arrangements the songs had. Enjoyable and entertaining. I don’t give 5 stars very often.

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!
