It's a BIOPIC, not a documentary... and it's EXCELLENT!!

Rating: 9/10 (11 November 2018)

Have seen lots of negative articles and clickbait headlines about how Bohemian Rhapsody "lies" to it's audience...
Before people start pounding away at their keyboards they should understand the difference between a movie based on a person/group and a documentary...
There are plenty of documentaries out there, some great... some not-so.... you can get all the facts and timelines there.....
Creative license has to be taken to put all of Freddy's story into this movie, so yes, some things are moved around and/or combined or happen at different times to reality.....
This movie is SPECTACULAR! The casting of Queen was excellent, everyone were brilliant (Mike Myers was a little misplacesld, I thought, but in light of Waynes World bringing Queen to a newer audience, I understans why he was asked to be there.
Rami is OUTSTANDING, he put a lot of work into his characterisation of Freddy, it comes across on screen every second he is there.
My only (minor) complaint was the jarring transition from Live Aid to end credits.... I wish they showed parts of the trimphant concert at Wembley the following year and then went to credits, or had it playing over/alongside the credits..
Cannot wait for the Blu-ray release, this will be watched many, many times!!!
