Why such rave reviews?

Rating: 2/10 (16 January 2019)

What the hell was this? It was like Straight Outta Compton, a movie to promote a band with 2 hours of musical montages. The story was secondary. It was just peppered in. It was basically behind the scenes of Queen's music.
Someone, for the love of God, explain to me why the girl was the "love of his life?" They looked at each other once after a party and then she was the only one that "got him." No reason was ever given or shown of heir relationship.
Let's forget the winking into the camera overacting for a minute by Rami. Did he ever bother to see how Freddie actually behaved? Not even close. It was a caricature of Mercury.
One scene after the other was filled with cliche after cliche with the obligatory "Freddie first performance" was a mess to the record label "fighting" them. We've seen it a million times before. Like the disapproving father, but in such as overly written bad way.
It's like they tried to shove 2 years worth of history and data into each scene. They missed a chance to do an actual great bio on Queen, which should have been about Freddie Mercury.
And did we really need the full 20 minute concert when you can goon youtube and see the original version with the actual band?
Glam over substance, which in the end, leaves me dissatisfied.
