nzoner 936 Posted November 3, 2018 They replicated the Live Aid performance perfectly. The movie is great entertainment, Malek plays Freddie wonderfully. I walked out of the theater pumped, great flick Not to be too critical (it was an amazing movie) they did leave out two songs from Live Aid. My only other criticism was the timeline of two of the hits as they were way off in the story when those songs were released and do not understand why they did that.Overall though Rami Malek nailed Freddie and I thought the movie for being two hours felt like it was a lot less.I realize only so much can go into two hours but wow there is so much more that could be told. I will also say if anyone is going try and see it on IMAX as the sound was incredible,hell we even stayed until the last credit rolled just to take in the final two songs.

nzoner 936 Posted November 3, 2018 Is it more a rock star movie than a bio pic? No it's a bio pic and IMO Malek deserves mention with Busey as Buddy Holly,Foxx as Ray Charles etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dain11279 926 Posted November 3, 2018 SPOILER ALERT (even though you know what happens anyway) : I was happy they ended the movie after the concert was over. And didnt show Freddie in his last days. That would have really been a bummer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would have really been a bummer Personally I wish they would've spent a little more time with the origins of the band. Have you ever seen the documentary Days Of Our Lives,it's almost four hours and a must watch for any Queen fan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dain11279 926 Posted November 5, 2018 ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Hits Higher Note At Weekend B.O. With $51M Opening Nice And, I already knew this anyway, but fock critics. Stop dissecting everything about it and enjoy it for what it is. I read one yesterday who said "the worst movie I've seen in years". Must be a blast at parties.

Big Guy 1,400 Posted November 7, 2018 I saw it yesterday, It was fantastic!!! I think it ran 2 & 1/2 hours, that extra half hour was the ghey stuff. It would have been a much better movie if it were just 2 hours long. Also......remind me to never cut my hair short and wear a mustache. Remi as Freddy was as good as it gets! 10/10 Bryan May's actor 9/10 John Deacon's actor 8/10 Roger Taylor's actor 2/10 I didn't think he was a bit like Roger. For me the movie was surreal since being a major fan since 1974 when less than maybe 1% of the World knew of Queen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBayXXXVII 2,105 Posted November 7, 2018 I never thought Queen was really all that special. I like, literally a handful, of their songs... I think the rest are quite crappy. I have 0.0% interest in seeing this movie and can guarantee that I never see it. That said, if you peeps are interested, I hear it's great, I hope you go and enjoy it!!

Adam1010 0 Posted December 4, 2018 I am not a fierce fan of Queen, but I know many songs and I think that this movie is something I must see (like other music-bands related movies) because they are a huge part of the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,940 Posted February 17, 2019 Finally caught this on PPV Glad I only spent $5.99 on it. Yeah, the lead guy looks and sings like Freddie, and it was mildly interesting to learn how some of their songs came together. But overall, the movie is just a choppy, uninteresting mess.
