*Spoilers & Plotholes

Rating: 5/10 (10 March 2020)

What's with music biopic movies that never makes them good?
Too many years to squeeze in, I guess.
I enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody. Rami Malek gives us a convincing Freddie Mercury performance. Music is good and humor is there. Timeline of some events was changed for theatrical effect.
Good.
But the movie never feels that any of the characters have the struggle to overcome. Freddie Mercury joins the band 15 minutes in and he's an instant celebrity. The rest of the movie is about his celebrity status with his band in the background.
Where is the conflict?
I'm sure that the longest argument in the movie lasts only 2 minutes before they give in to Freddie Mercury. He resolves a long issue with his parents with a quick introduction of his boyfriend. His antagonist gives him up with ease. Everyone, in the end, agrees with Freddie.
The band never faces a real crisis and everyone gets back together without fighting. Exciting.
Even the antagonist doesn't give a convincing performance. His evolution is not understood or shown in the movie.
The ending is ok but doesn't make sense.
2.5/5. I know these music biopics are never good but I keep watching them. Am I a sucker for pain?
