As for the performance, Jamie Bell’s Bernie Taupin was amazing, Bryce Dallas Howard as Sheila Ellen (Elton John’s mother) was impressive, Richard Madden as John Reid was shockingly good while Taron Egerton is the one who leads the show. Read more

It’s a spectacular portrait of the glamour, pizzazz, and substance fueled eccentricity of the musical icon that is Sir Elton Hercules John. Read more

Pompous in the presentation, Rocketman is not perfect, but had enough nerve to show Elton John flying during a performance at London’s The Troubadour. He didn’t need any plumed pair of wings for that. Read more

Rocketman is likely to provide you what you want and expect out of an Elton John biopic. It has flair. It has pomp and circumstance. It has ornate costume design. It has all the hits that you’d expect. But the film also throws in a surprise or two in its pursuit of musical fantasy that livens things up a bit. It’s better for it. Read more

In jukebox-musical formaat wordt Rocketman tot leven gebracht. Herleef Elton John's grootste hits, zie alle kleurrijke kostuums en weet dat hij na afloop nog steeds met volle trots overeind staat (I'm Still Standing). Read more

Hij heeft tot op heden slechts in twee biopics gespeeld, maar na zijn zeer geslaagde vertolking van Eddie Edwards in het sportdrama Eddie The Eagle mag Taron Egerton in de huid kruipen van ’s werelds meest kleurrijke artiest Elton John. En hij doet dat fenomenaal!

Egerton klinkt weliswaar niet exact zoals de bebrilde zanger, maar kwijt zich desondanks bijzonder goed van zijn taak en heeft zichtbaar plezier met de vele muzikale intermezzo's. Read more

Rocketman is voor de echte Elton John-fans onder ons, maar verwacht geen Vinyl, A Star is Born & Bohemian Rhapsody. Read more
