This movie is the hardest thing for me to watch. I cant get through it without crying immensely. I identify with everything I'm even a musician but I'm not famous. Gay, substance use problems, anger and it goes on.
So in May 2019, NPR ran an interview with Elton about his final tour and my dad heard it and mentioned how he’d always wanted to see Elton in concert. I knew next to nothin about Elton but the movie was coming out in a month, so I went and saw it in theaters. And that’s when I decided to take my dad to see Elton and man, that man puts on a CONCERT!! It was beyond INCREDIBLE. Best decision ever 🌈💖🎶
Well, I usually don't go negative on You Tube, but I can see why this movie made the jump from theaters to You Tube so fast. When I tuned in I was looking to see a good biopic about Elton John. What I got was a musical that is so historically inaccurate that I had to turn it off even if I did pay money to see it. It is a mess. Yes Elton says he loved the movie. What else is he going to say? He hasn't had a hit in over 20 years. This movie puts his name back to the fore front. For starters, John made his USA debut in 1970. Why was he riding in a 1975 Lincoln? Not to mention Crocodile Rock hadn't even been written yet. I could go on and on and on….
If you like “across the universe” then you will love this film.,… I HATE across the universe, this isn’t as bad but I wanted a story, not a fucking musical. I’m 20 minutes in and pissed off I spent $5 on this rental but so glad I didn’t see it in theaters like I wanted to. I HATE MUSICALS.
I kind of laugh everytime I see the scene from when they arrive at the Troubadour, because I went to Whiskey A Go-Go several years ago (which is very close) and thought the same exact thing! "This place is so small to be so FREAKIN' famous!" My friend's band was playing there… it was cool, but… I don't know, kind of a letdown.
This film astounded me. It truly brings something new and totally creative to a biopic. Haven't purchased a DVD in years, but I am going to buy a hard copy of this film.
When you realize he sang every Elton song… his own vocal training for this movie and no song over like it was done for Rami’ Freddy act. This is such an amazing inspirational movie.. 😱😱😱💙💙💙
Phenomenal! The story I'd like to see is Elton's REAL metamorphosis (psyche-wise) after he met David Furnish. I'd just love to see how they met and how, after SO many letdowns with love, he finally let David "in". Trust must have been really hard for him, especially with no alcohol or drugs to "hlp him along". Once again, kudos to this masterpiece – !
I will watch this every single day of my life. Sir. Elton John, I have been in love with you since I was ten years old. I eventually went off to college with all of your albums (which I still have) praying you would find someone to love you. I know, crazy, right? You're not going to read this. Taron Egerton,'s performance was absolutely beautiful. So sweet and tender. 💗
I love most all this mans music but this movie was so bad it was painful to watch it till the end
This is a movie that you can’t get tired of!!!
33:11 I would pay for a full cover of Sad Songs (Say So Much) from Taron

Taron deserved an Academy Award nod for this, he played Elton John better than Elton John!

I am way too obsessed with this movie and Elton's fascinating life!

I have loved him since I was 10! Crying my eyes out watching the pain of his life. Elton! <3
2020
Ha Ha the only Rocketman i know is Soldier TF2
I absolutely love Elton John!
If you listen to the lyrics of the last scene I'm still standing it makes a lot more sense on how it goes with his life
I know the first 15 scenes by heart and I intend to learn them all
Me watching this movie for the 15 time be like: oh, it’s 6:00 am already
Apparently NYC has only one taxi and it was mad in 1957.
I have to say it was a great picture i especially like your song call it the blues crocodile rock.
i just bought this and it said i cant watch it cause its age restricted. Then why the hell would you let me buy it

Elton I can relate to but to be honest the movie sucked
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Just watched this for a second time after coming home from his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour. He's truly talented like no other!
Painful to watch!
