An amazing celebration of Freddie Mercurys legacy

Rating: 8/10 (28 February 2019)

As a Queen fan, I was skeptical going on over whether this movie would be worthy of thr legacy of Queen. Luckily I think they pulled it off nicely.
First off, Rami Malek WAS Freddie Mercury. The casting was perfect and he really nailed the role. The rest of the cast all gave great performances as well. The sound in this movie is out of this world, the Live Aid sequence in an IMAX theatre was truly mindblowing and they really make you feel like you are there.
I think the movie touched on his sexuality and his personal problems enough for it to make a narrative impact but also not take over the tone of the movie.
Overall I think this was a great celebration of Freddies legacy and if you are a fan of their music or just a casual listener who recognizes some of their songs, you will find lots to enjoy here!
