Reviews
Rocketman received mixed reviews from critics upon its release. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a modest approval rating, reflecting a divide between appreciation for its imaginative premise and criticism over its narrative execution. Some reviewers praised the film's visual style and ambition. For example, a reviewer on Rotten Tomatoes noted, "Rocketman captivates with its stylish visuals and imaginative world-building, though it occasionally falters in pacing." IMDb users gave the movie an average rating of 5.3/10, highlighting inconsistent character development and a convoluted plot as key drawbacks. Metacritic scores similarly indicate mixed or average reviews, with the film earning around 45 out of 100. Critics commended the performances, especially highlighting the lead actor's commitment, but many felt the story lacked depth and cohesion, preventing it from fully resonating. While fans of fantasy and science fiction may find elements to enjoy, Rocketman was seen as falling short of reaching its full potential, delivering an uneven but occasionally engaging cinematic experience.
