Lots of potential, majorly underdelivers.

Rating: 3/10 (31 January 2019)

I don't understand the hype around this movie. I was hoping that film would be made similarly to Straight Out of Compton...where you are taking through the background and progression of the group but that is not the case. The movie doesn't talk about any of Freddie's childhood, where he learned to play instruments/sing, what got him interested in music, what shaped him to be the person he is.
NOPE! Instead we are dropped into the night that he meets the band it just goes from there. The director spent so much time talking about his sex life that they almost forgot that he was in a band. There is no progression of how the songs were made or anything. Instead, they briefly introduce the name song and boom, its already written and perfectly performed. The best part of the film was the final scene where they perform at concert, that was pretty epic (and the only reason that I am giving this any stars).
Overall: Worth a watch if you have absolutely nothing else to see or do.
P.S. Can we get a redo of this film with a different director?
