Really Captures Freddie, Both In Looks & Mannerisms

Rating: 8/10 (4 November 2018)

I saw "Bohemian Rhapsody", starring Rami Malek-Mr. Robot_tv, the Night at the Museum movies; Lucy Boynton-Murder on the Orient Express_2017, Law & Order:UK_tv; Gwilym Lee-Jamestown_tv, Midsomer Murders_tv and Ben Hardy-Only the Brave, X-Men:Apocalypse.
This is the story of the rock group Queen-the title of the movie is from one of their most famous songs-and Brian May is a producer. The film covers how Freddie Mercury meets and joins the group and then leads up to their Live Aid concert in 1985-FYI: Freddie Mercury died of complications of AIDS in 1991. Rami plays Freddie and he really captures Freddie, both in looks and his mannerisms. I wasn't sure if Rami was actually doing the singing-it looked like he was-but I read that they used a mixture of 3 voices; Marc Martel, Freddie Mercury and Rami Malek. Lucy plays Rami's girlfriend, Gwilym plays Brian May and Ben portrays Roger Taylor. There is a nice cameo from Mike Myers-you probably will not catch it because of his make-up, but listen for his voice. The performances really look and sound good, so if you are a Queen fan, you should enjoy the movie.
It's rated "PG-13" for suggestive material, drug content and language and has a running time of 2 hours & 14 minutes.
I am a Queen fan-I was lucky enough to have seen them in concert, in fact I took my soon to be wife-so I might be biased, but I loved it and would buy it on Blu-Ray.
