A fantastic film and fitting tribute to Freddie Mercury and Queen

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2018)

Despite being a Queen fan and seeing them live at Wembley a year after Live Aid, I was initially put off of going after listening to the film review on 5 Live. However, my daughter persuaded us to go after seeing it and giving it rave reviews. After watching the film I really wonder what criteria these people use to rate a film as I thought it was one of the best movies I had ever seen. The film is entertaining, moving ( I have not cried so much in a cinema for a very long time ), funny and informative. The acting is fantastic and you forget at some points that you are watching actors rather than the real band. The recreation of the Live Aid concert is truly stunning and took me right back to watching the real thing all those years ago. If you like Queen you will love this film and even if you missed them first time round give this film a go. Congratulations to everyone involved on creating a real masterpiece !
