What a sad depiction of a legend

Rating: 5/10 (20 December 2018)

Sadly, I was not impressed with the film. The lead actor Rami lacks charisma and I was baffled with the choice of cast for such a force of nature that Mercury was. Even his body features simply do not resemble the real deal, and I was bothered throught the entire film with Rami's very distictive eyes and small body that was utterly different from Mercury. The script itself was not too bad, but alas, was superficial and often seemed like some pop propaganda packed with no.1 hits and singles from Queen, instead of allowing the viewer to really immerse with the story of Mercury as a person. I would say that most viewers will enjoy this as a musical drama film with the occasional comic relief, but fans of the band and perhaps people with higher expectations shall be quite dissapointed. A film about a remarkably interesting and great artist, managed to be so shallow, that is a talenet in itself.
