Loved this movie.

I've been a huge Elton fan since the 70s when I was in high school. I knew a lot about his background, his success and challenges. Very well-acted and of course the music was great. I would highly recommend this to any Elton fan.

This movie cleverly tells us the biography of Elton John through a combination of acting, singing and performing. Elton, who is played by Taron Egerton, was impeccably done. He also personally sang the songs. His voice wasn’t dubbed. I personally enjoyed it.

THE REVIEW:Little Reginald Dwight pressed a piano key down. Then another. And another.It wasn’t much. But it was enough. His mother and grandmother watched the boy play along with the radio—finger by finger, note by note. From ear. Without a lick of instruction.For one rare moment, Reg felt like he was heard. Seen. His Mom, Sheila, rarely tore her eyes away from her own mirror to look at him. His father, Stanley, was rarely home. And when he was, the cold, hard man took no interest in him at all.But Dad did love music. He had a room filled with jazz records—records Reg wasn’t allowed to touch. The boy was allowed to come in and listen sometimes if he was absolutely quiet. Maybe if he could play music, he’d find value in his father’s eyes.Maybe he’d find value in his own.In a few years, Reginald Dwight would change his name to Elton John. He’d team with lyricist Bernie Taupin and, together, they’d lay seige to the music world: 30 albums, more than 50 Top 10 hits, more than 300 million records sold. Acres of sequins. Vats of alcohol. Tables laden with cocaine. And the singer would, by his own admission, eventually have sex with nearly everything that moved. Marriage. Divorce. Sobriety. Knighthood.But once upon a time, he was just little Reg—a boy pressing notes on black-and-white keys. He’d taken his first step on his yellow brick road, and all the wonders and terrors of his own personal Oz awaited him.POSITIVE ELEMENTS:Rocketman chronicles the formative years, the greatest successes and the most colossal stumbles of Elton John, one of the world’s most famous, most talented and most successful musicians. But the movie also suggests that at his innermost core, Elton’s always been on the lookout for both love and meaning—often trying to find them in the very worst places.As Elton’s odyssey unspools, we can’t help but feel for the guy, especially as a young child when he’s desperately looking to his parents for love and approval. It reminds us that good parenting is critical to every child’s well-being. And when that’s missing, something else—something intrinsic to a child’s soul—goes missing, too. Only his grandmother shows the future Elton John unconditional love and support, and the movie suggests that she, not his mother, was the real rock in the family.Elton looks to fix that broken thing inside him in a bevy of terrible, self-destructive ways, as we’ll see. He has just one real anchor in his life: Bernie Taupin, his lyricist. They hit it off from the very beginning of their partnership (singing “Streets of Laredo” together at a café), forming a friendship so strong that Bernie calls Elton his “brother.” Though Bernie disappears from Elton’s life during some critical junctures, he always returns—supporting his friend during even Elton’s darkest days.And let’s also give Elton a round of applause, too, for getting help for his plethora of addictions and compulsions. It’s never easy for someone to admit weakness and seek help, especially when you’re someone as famous as Elton John.IN CONCLUSION:When we first see Elton John, it’s in a rehab treatment facility. “My name is Elton Hercules John,” he recites. “And I’m an alcoholic. And a cocaine addict. And a sex addict. And a bulimic. And …” The list goes on.So he was. So we see onscreen, often in lurid detail.Rocketman is many things: a celebration of Elton John’s incredible catalog of music, an examination of his success, a surreal festival of song and dance, a cautionary tale about excess.But its essence goes back to little Reginald Dwight sitting at the piano: How that little boy lost himself and, in so doing, lost his way. And how—at least on the movie’s terms—that little boy found himself again.Great Movie...

Nothing else to add the 4k disc is superb as is the film.

moi qui suis un fan de rock anglais et après avoir été incroyablement déçu avec "bohémian rhapsody" pour toutes ses incohérences et son coté edulcoré et bcp trop lisse , sans parler des interprétations a chier partout ... mais je pris le risque ( bien que pas un grand fan de Sir Elton John même si j'aime bien certains titres ) et j'avoue que je fut surpris car Taron Egerton interprète himself les chansons et il y a ce coté comédie musicale sans que cela soit un biopic de base à la con , et cette "déchirure interieure " qui le ronge et ses états d'âme sans détour ni taboo et avec ce coté très rock'n'roll ..... Perso j'ai adoré .... de plus le son , l'image vont de pair et c'est un bien bel hommage a cet homme qu'est Reginald Dwight .... Bravo !!!!

4KUHD + Blu-ray (輸入盤)4KUHD に情報通り日本語字幕、吹替有ります。（もちろんディズニーではないので歌唱部は原語です。） 歌唱部にも字幕があるので日本語・英語の切り替えができます。Blu-ray に日本語は有りませんが、映画を観た方は内容を把握していれば、ミュージカルがメインだと思われるので問題は小さいと思います。映像特典はミュージック拡張版4曲、削除&拡張版10シーン、インタビューやメイキング計44分、シングアロング(色が変わる)13曲分、ジュークボックスなどです。インタビューは日本語がないのでよくわかりませんが、英語は表示できるので皆さんは頑張って翻訳してください。劇場公開は日本は3ヶ月遅れたので、でも待ちきれない人は是非挑戦してください。その価値はあると思います。(後はサイフと相談)

Amazing film came on time xx

El vendedor fue muy amable y rápido cuando le pregunté por los idiomas en los que viene doblada, aunque no supieron decirme si el español era latino o no. Era poco probable que lo fuera siendo una edición europea, pero por si alguien más tiene la duda confirmo que es el doblaje de España.
