Fails as an honest biography, feels like glamourized Disney version

Rating: 4/10 (29 January 2019)

What a waste of time this movie was!
Every single scene is a fökking cliché and all the conversations are painfully artificial.
Spoilers below (hint, Freddy dies!!)
Example: Everyone except bassplayer (nobody ever knows their names) and Freddy; "I hate disco music!" Band starts fighting. Bassplayer sits down and starts playing this stupid disco bassline. Fight brakes up. Everyone says "wow that's actually pretty cool". Everyone hugs.
The guys playing Brian and Freddy are really spot on, but it's like the producers spent all the casting money there, and the dude playing Rogger looks like he's 15 throughout the movie.
And why the fökk did the director think anyone wanted to watch a complete remake of their Live Aid concert? I can watch the original on youtube. And then the movie just ends, on a high note of course, not going into what could have been interesting details of how Freddy fought aids and of course unfortunately lost that battle. And the beginning is just as absent as the ending, with Freddy walking up to the band saying he likes them, the band saying they just lost their singer 75 seconds before (how convenient) and Freddy bursting out in song with the rest of the band harmonizing out in the middle of a parking lot. WTF is this?? A Disney musical?? And less than 15 minutes in the band is already touring the US. What about telling people parts of the story that they don't know already?
And WTF is up with Mike Myers as a comic relieve? I can see the events leading up to that unfolding: Movie Producer: "Sorry Mike, but no, we can't do another Austin Powers with you in some crazy makeup doing silly British accents, but we'll find you a role in something else". Producer calls his assistant: "What movies are we shooting right now? Only Bohemian Rhapsody you say? Well that will have to do! Mike, how would you like to play an eccentric record label boss?" Mike: "Only if I can do my bonkers British accent!"
P.s. they should have made a disaster movie about Duran Duran at Live Aid. Mike Myers would have been awesome as Simon Le Bon!
