Magnificent Movie, a must see for 2018

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2018)

So recently a lot of films I see have lackluster acting, poor scripts, badly written characters. Not all but an awful lot, far more than in previous decades. This however stands out not only for being an excellent movie in its own right but for being a key example of the exact opposite of all of these things.
The acting was in every single actors case excellent, not a single person does a bad job in this movie. The script had believable dialogue and portrayed the characters in a way which made them very clear and recognisable. The music was Queens and so given its one of the greatest bands in history is of course magnificent. Its a wonderfully produced and moving movie.
The only gripe I would have is, yes given the actions we know Paul Prenter took he has been villainised and it seems with some legitimacy. Still given he has died and cannot defend himself I am not sure its fair to portray a person without their own perspective in this way. Its understandable though and the reality is you cannot talk about Freddy Mercurys life without discussing him so they had to do something.
Wonderful movie though, an absolute must watch.
