Great acting but.....

Rating: 7/10 (26 October 2018)

If you've never seen any Queen documentaries then this film will not disappoint, the performances are fantastic, the sets superb - I get it, there is only a certain amount of information that can be squeezed in to a film, but with all of the documentaries and books 'out there' it is clear that poetic license was used by the barrow full.
The timelines are out all over the place, the majority of which have been documented, but another one is the splitting of royalties four ways no matter who created the song. In the film we see this occurring before Live Aid, however this agreement only saw the light of day on 'the miracle' album, with most songs on A Kind of Magic (all except One Vision) being credited to their individual creator.
This all said, it is still a great film that leaves you with the general jist of what happened over that 15 year period.
