Overrated

Rating: 5/10 (2 February 2019)

This movie is a disappointment. Maybe the aggressive media campaign and the oscar nominations raised the bar too high, but the movie is just another movie about rise and falls and a narcissistic main character and his path to redemption.
Much energy was spent in accurately reproducing recorded moments of the bands life and in carefully mimicking Freddie Mercury, but in regards of feeling, acting and directing is a big letdown. The acting is mediocre and not only because of the actors but because of the screenplay and directing which fails to give acting any chance.
As a biographic movie it is ok and the fans of the band will enjoy it but as an artistic movie it is dull. It almost seems as a reconstitution like ones done by the police in crime investigations.
