For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.See BoRap 4 times now - which probably tells you i'm a complete Queen freak - but have yet to watch Rocketman. Will most likely watch it this week. I do like a lot of Elton's music but it will have to be a special film for me to choose it over BoRap. And not just because of the music. Rami Malek does such an excellent job of portraying Freddie Mercury that it will be impossible for any actor to follow should anyone ever think of doing another 'Queen' based film.
I found Remi Malik completely believable as Freddie Mercury, but for me, Taron Egerton neither looked or sounded like Elton John at all.
I was able to gloss over the inaccuracies in the Queen movie, but I thought the portrayal of Dick James in Rocketman was dreadful - making him a Cockney spiv, when the real Dick James was a gentleman, who spoke and behaved like one.

I've always been an EJ fan and have seen him live several times and he is always brilliant. Unfortunately I never saw Queen live but have always been a fan of their music. Having seen both films on balance I prefer Bohemian Rhapsody worth seeing just for the Live Aid recreation, but really enjoyed both.
