Poorly Executed Bio Pic Camouflaged by Good Music

Rating: 5/10 (1 March 2019)

I agree 90% of pearldiver's Nov 2018 review.
Rami Malek is a rising TV film actor but his physique and trademark acting mannerisms are not suited for the well built and dynamism of Freddie Mercury.
Nevertheless, Malek made a valiant effort to play this pivotal role.
As for the movie, the script is poorly and loosely written. It went all over the place but offered no drama or substance.
The direction is uninspired and pedestrian at best.
Some of the acting borders on caricature and cringe making
while the makeup is horrendous.
The music of Queen saved the movie.
