Mediocre Film With Great Cinematography and A Compelling Performance

Rating: 5/10 (26 May 2019)

There's nothing new here story wise. Freddie Mercury is portrayed by the talented Rami Malek and he is truly magnetic on screen. However, there isn't enough characterization or craft to make this movie memorable besides the musical performances. If you take the performances away, you get a bland, half seasoned biopic about Queen (I mean, Freddie). Disappointed in the story, but impressed by the music.
