Pg 13 version.Flat and safe.

Rating: 6/10 (15 March 2019)

It was nice. It was touching. It had a great actor. But it was flat and safe.
It was a portrait of saints. The band had no real conflicts, only Freddie had problems.
The story has many lies also. The conflicts we see is Freddie's ego against hamble and cool band members who the only do the right thing.
They didn't party, they didn't drink, they didn't do drugs. Lol.
Also Freedie was a struggling homosexual, but he had a wild life. His lifestyle was crazy. Malik does the best he can do with the pg13, safe and family oriented material to create a more in depth character and in a way succeeds.
But other than his performance and the great music their is nothing else to remember.
Nostalgia is a bad advisor on criticism.
Watch it you will have fun. But definitely it is not the masterpiece everyone is writing and as time goes by and the hype is gone the truth will be this. A mediocre movie, safe and flat with a great leading actor.
