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.

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.

A title that is better with Dolby Vision but not a necessary upgrade from the blu-ray as the 1080p version also has Atmos, which is the real star of this release.

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!

Definitely 5 stars. Loved this movie. Gives a good story of the legendary Elton John

Who doesn’t like Sir Elton John. This is a great movie of his life.
