Movie Info & Cast
Synopsis
Elton John’s life story is too fantastic for a down-to-Earth biography. Rocketman casts Taron Egerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service) as the celebrated ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ singer in an uncensored story that reveals all the grand highs and difficult low points of John’s five-decade career.
If you were enraptured by Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocketman will take you even further into the stratosphere, as Elton John’s story becomes the fuel for musical fantasy sequences that break the bounds of reality. Dexter Fletcher, who worked on the Queen biopic, directs. Jamie Bell, Richard Madden and Bryce Dallas Howard co-star.

Sabrina Bondi lovedRocketmanRocketman is a strong, triumphant look at the life and times of singer Elton John. Rocketman managed to deliver an authentic biopic that wasn’t afraid to take risks, offering a colorful exploration of John’s illustrious career.

10/10
gabriel lovedRocketman8.9 Incroyable, honnêtement entre ce biopic et celui sur Robbie Williams « Better man » je ne sais pas lequel j’ai préféré. Bien sûr Bohemian Rapsody reste au dessus. Enfait j’ai adoré l’histoire de Robbie Williams dans Better man mais les musiques d’Elton John c’est un vrai niveau au…
Maeva_bry likedRocketmanUn très bon film, que ce soit dans le visuel ou dans l’histoire vraiment bien retracée. Je ne connaissais pas beaucoup la vie d’Elton John et je trouve que regarder une biopic c’est une bonne façon d’en apprendre plus sur cet homme et sur son histoire ( qui est très intéressante)

My favourite film EVER. Before I watched this, I loved Elton John anyway, but this movie made me fall in love with his music in a whole different way. It’s so emotional and eye opening to what his life was like, the struggles he went through. If you haven’t watched it, WATCH IT
irmak lovedRocketmanI love Elton John so this movie is one of my favorites I have seen so many bio films this was the best one

Great movie, but often a sad one, and often because people who think homosexuality is an abomination ARE an abomination themselves.
NFNicole FournierWhat a great movie. Almost as good, but I think better than Bohemian Rhapsody. Music was great and the actors were spot on. A definite must see movie!!!!
TATami AlexanderI have loved Elton John for 47 years; his music is the soundtrack of my youth. Little did I know how much we had in common on a personal level. I am so glad he got his happily ever after.

Great film! Made me tear up! If you’re an Elton fan, must see!!!
MGMichael Gaitherreally good movie if you take out the flash mob song and dance scenes, all they do is distract from the story
SMShawn Macannucobeautiful story. So sad to see the homophobic comments in the reviews, too. This is 2019, get with the program and get your homophobia treated by a physician.

Would have been a great story if all the LGBT sex scenes could have been left out. I know he's gay, but I don't need to SEE how gay. 🤨
AMAutumn MelodyLoved to see the story of Elton John on the big screen!
KEKathy Espositotoo many graphic gay sex scenes

The sheer brute force of Egerton holds it all together. And despite some darker themes, Rocketman is still quite a ride. It plays more as a musical than a standard biopic.

Egerton gives it his all, and there are moments of visual invention, but this largely formulaic rock biopic can’t hit the high notes.
