Ratings and reviews

A poorly constructed doco mostly filled with nutty opinions from two completely irrelevant commentators who are experts in nothing but self importance. It uses mobile phone footage for one performance, footage from a Wham! concert while talking about an Elton show from 1975, and interviews that don't align to the narrative of the content. It congratulates Nancy Reagen for her role in dealing with the AIDS epidemic (!) and apparently the drugs Elton was addicted to came in blister packs! AWFUL!

I Love the Movie Rocketman an intimate look at the life of Sir Elton John. Portrayed Beautifully by Taron Egerton, Jamie Bell...the entire cast & crew did a Masterfull job. I have seen it touch people of all ages. Elton Thank you for your Bravery, honesty ... and support in bringing Rocketman to us! Not forgetting Dexter Fletcher wow!

I thought it was a great movie telling the story of Elton John in his early years and becoming the star that he is today. The actor that played Elton John did an awesome job. A must-see movie for all who love Sir Elton John.
