In neither category anywhere close to Oscar material

Rating: 6/10 (21 February 2019)

Bohemian Rhapsody is not a bad movie but it's not an exceptionally good one either. Never for a second I had the feeling that I was looking or listening to Freddie... Malik is simply trying to hard, especially in the first half he and also the band show some really bad cases of overacting and at several points you are not sure if this is supposed to be a parody or a biopic. Still it's not a bad movie and in the end saved by the fantastic musical legacy of queen. The Wembley concert scene at the end of the movie makes amends for the weaker story parts. The dialogue scenes sometimes are badly superficial and full of clichées.
