Surprisingly good

Rating: 7/10 (24 December 2018)

Very good movie in all: absolutely loved the directing, great job with the cameras and the "timing" of the movie and the types of scenes, all very well done to provide us with a very entertaining movie. The actor was amazing, Mary was quite well too for a kind of part that is hardly ever well played and the rest of the band did very well actually.
On the bad side, there was waaaay too much cliché lines, catchphrases and things you would expect to see in a lame romantic comedy ("I don't look back, only forward" ; "We believe in each other" ; "I want you out of my life" ; "I need you", etc etc etc): they went way too far with it especially with Freddie's lines, more than half were clichés and it really diminishes the realistic character of the (biographical) movie. Second, I think that the way they told the story of Mary going to Munchen and tallimg to him for 2 minutes and then he suddenly changes all his life was quite far-fetched... They should have explored it more and make it more understandable.
All in all, very good movie, an absolute delight to see, even if you're not a devote Queen's fan
