Critics just don't get.

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2018)

Ok, the first time I heard Bohemian Rhapsody was in the summer of '76. I've been a Queen super fan since. Yes there are some chronological inconsistencies, but all of the events did occur. I'm not sure if critics understand that the film tells a story. If this were a sheer documentary film, then the events of Queen and Freddie's history would have been recounted exactly as they occurred, and the film would have been rather boring and educational.
Fundamentally the intent of the film is to entertain, tell a fact based story(more or less) and introduce an entirely new generation to the band, the members, the music and the social landscape of the time. If you want to know the all the details of Freddie's lovers you are better off consulting the micro fiche at your local library (tongue planted firmly in cheek) for tabloid news from the 80's.
The film delivers in spades, it entertains, it touches you, captures your imagination and generally makes you feel good. I took the film in at a 10:40 PM IMAX screening with my 23 year old son and 13 year old daughter. Each of them had interesting perspectives on the movie about real music, passion fighting for your belief and society.
Ok, I'm rambling. Queen fans, music fans unite. Watch this film, take it in, be entertained. Critics, don't over analyze look for fault in the script's simplicity or over analyze events put into the movie to enhance the story telling and or dramatic effect. Take it for what it is and what is meant to be. ENTERTAINING!!!!
