What a mess

Rating: 4/10 (27 January 2019)

After seeing all the user reviews I have to say, were some people watching the same film?

Pacing was absolutely horrible and while I give it points for trying hard, they tried to do too much at all once

Editing: who the hell edited this thing? A lot of the writing structure was absolutely juvenile and made it look silly

Historical accuracy: This is a biopic FFS. I get that it's going to be stylized for Hollywood but they couldn't get some of the smallest details right and swept right over a lot of the things that people needed to know

The biopic basically ignored like a decade of their career not to mention the fact that Freddy is literally the only one that gets any character development in the two hours

Freddy's struggle with the cultural identity and his disease was skated over

Bands conflict with label over the direction of their music was ignored

Music fans in general and those easily entertained will love it and while the acting was spot on, this could have been so much better.
The studio very obviously changed this from R to PG13 in order to make it vanilla and pander to the lowest common denominator
