It was well done.

Rating: 9/10 (12 November 2018)

I know there has been some controversy around this movie since the project was started. It was a long road to produce this biopic, but it did turn out really well in my opinion.
I like Queen and i thought it was a really good movie. It didnt focus on any one thing about Freddie but instead showed us the many sides of the person and that made it feel more real. Rami did an excellent job and getting Freddie's mannerism down. Honestly when Rami finished the scene at Live Aid, i nearly gave a standing ovation. It felt that real.
My wife is British and a huge fan of Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody( the song) is her favorite song. She absolutely loved the movie. She said "It is rare to have a movie that makes you either laugh of cry and i was laughing at some parts and crying at others. "
If you are a true fan of Freddie Mercury , it is a film that will move you and i would not be surprised if Rami collected an award or two for the role.
There are two reasons i did not the film a 10. Well three actually. The most important being that i consider a 10 to be perfection and the film was not quite perfection.
There were some timeline errors which were done no doubt to create dramatic effect and progress the story. I would of liked them to preserve the timeline and facts but i understand why they didnt. The movie is still one of the best written and directed movies i have seen in years.
The second is this movie covers about 15 years in a bit over 2 hours. It really only briefly covers each of the pieces of Freddie, sort of like a well written "Cliff Notes" on him. This could of easily of been a 4 hour movie or a trilogy, who knows maybe someday it will be a trilogy.
Overall the movie was very good and Rami was phenomenal.
