Bohemian Rhapsody Vs Rocketman

Enjoyed your 1917 v Dunkirk and the Hollowman v Invisible Man articles, but this one is of no interest unfortunately. I’ve avoided both films as I’m not a fan of Queen or Elton, although still recognise their talent.

Any plans for future vids?

Me too

I like my tunes with an Indy slant so neither artist appeals to me at all.

However after much nagging I watched Rocketman with the missis a couple of weeks ago and it was alot better than I expected.

Having been pleasantly surprised by that I'm now building up the strength to give Bohemian.R a go.

Not seen Rocketman, but I did go to the pictures to see Bohemian Rhapsody.

I hardly ever go to the pictures but some films really benefit from the big-screen experience, and this is one - the music and the energy and the sense of 'being there' for the Live Aid set just can't be replicated at home. Thought it was a great film even though the film-makers made some quite questionable decisions regarding the order in which things happened.

if we are getting serious then we cannot discount Eddie and the Cruisers.

Rocketman for me.

Didn’t even finish Bohemian Rhapsody!

Dig! was grate!

Not watched Dig have read the book and its an excellent read but heard the tv adaption was naff. Almost famous is superb , wasnt it loosely based on Free?
Thought Bohemian Rhapsody was a great movie, well made and loved the srycronicity of the end.
Not yet watched Rocketman its on the list.

I started watching rocket man but then it went into musicals mode so I turned it off.

Well that's fine, but I bet the other people in the cinema weren't very happy with you
