Don't believe the critics

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2018)

This is one of the best movies I've seen in years.
Ok so they might have skewed the timeline on certain events to suit the movie, but in the end who cares. It wasn't a documentary, it was a film. Most who would have seen the film know all about Queen and also Freddy Mercury and what happened in his life, this was more a celebration of that a charismatic and talented person he was.
Rami Malek I'd not seen much of before, but his portrayal of the greatest front man of all time in Freddy was seriously fantastic. Totally did it justice.
The movie is all about apexing to Queen's performance at Live Aid to close the film, a 20 minute scene which they absolutely nailed.
The guys who played the rest of the band were fantasic, especially Gwilym Lee, who played Brian May, he was the spitting image of Brian.
All in all, if you want another dour documentary which focuses too much on Freddy's aids battle, this ain't for you. If you want a film which celebrates the genius that was Freddy Mercury and Queen, have a good sing along and walk out with tears of joy, watch this film.
Don't believe the critics, this is a fantastic film.
