Rami Malek's British accent

Rating: 7/10 (24 July 2019)

No one seems to have caught this but Rami's British accent was more like British aristocracy than Freddie Mercury's true speech. It ruined the movie for me because I kept hearing the Prince of Wales instead of Freddie's working class speech patterns. It was very distracting. I watch a lot of British TV and have learned something about various accents. Rami sounded like someone from
"Downton Abbey" more than Freddie. Listen to interviews with Freddie and you'll hear the difference. On the other hand, the music was great and I ordered a CD of the soundtrack.
