Do not underestimate the spectators!

Rating: 3/10 (20 January 2019)

I am quite disappointed from this movie.
Firstable the story itself is quite intresting, which is quite favorable for the director. At the moment the movie begun, I was sure of what we will see at the end. I would even say that it underestimates the spectators. The movie tends to explain some details of the life of Freddie in a very artificial and appropriate way, for instance - "I have a big mouth, my voice cover 4 octaves", the initial game with the mic stand etc.
We all know that the band insisted to show the peak of the career, but with such an artist like Freddie I feel quite offended of the quality of cinematic art presented there, I would say that the movie rely on the glory of Queen and thats all. Another suspicious scene was when Freddy announced to the group that he has AIDS - they hug him right away. During the 80's there was no that much information for AIDS, so I really doubt that people with families and kids would hug a HIV positive person, no matter what. Freddie, giving a press conference was the only moment when the director used some effects and it was really bad, it can't be compared to what Gaspar Noe could have done with that scene showing that Freddie is high.
Malek tried his best but could not save the whole movie and to be fair, Cohen could handle this role the better.
The make up and the artificial teeth gave a caricature image of the whole character and in some moments it was much close to parody.
And to be honest, Life Aid is not the best moment of Fredfie and Queen, you can see so many people there, but come on, this is Queen, its not enough for Queen.
Lets also not forget that Freddie was intentionally contaminated with AIDS, this topic is not at all in the movie.
We all know that the members of Queen insisted on how to present the story, but its too old, too boring, there is nothing original in it, it is censured, so I really doubt that Freddie would have enjoyed such a view.
