A brilliant homage to the greatest performer and rock band in history!

Rating: 9/10 (31 October 2018)

I have so much to say about this movie. They did a great job to cover so much in such a short space of time. To get the reason why I dropped one star off the rating out there quickly - I would have loved to see more intricate detail around why each song was made but hey, that is me being an avid and picky Queen fan wanting too much, and all of that can be found elsewhere anyway.
This biopic gives an incredible insight into the many different dynamics of the band - from the highs and lows of song writing and politics, to the intricate relationships held between each member. Rami Malek had a big, big challenge ahead of him and whilst he will no doubt have his critics, as everyone does, he should be proud for absolutely smashing Freddie Mercury's mannerisms and stage presence. The only people who know what Freddie was really like off stage were those around him, and if Malek has done a good enough job for Brian May and Roger Taylor, then it's more than a good enough job for me!
I grew up listening to Queen from my mother's influence and it gave me goosebumps throughout to watch how each song was created and performed, and if anyone can say a bad thing against the recreation of the Live Aid '85 performance, they're a crook.
What a fantastic whirlwind of a story beautifully portrayed by each and every individual involved in the film, all of whom should be proud.
