A die hard Queen fan who can suspend Belief to enjoy what it is

Rating: 7/10 (25 October 2018)

Well, what can I say, as a die hard Queen fan since 1981 when I was 12. The Movie was brilliant! Has it all, the music, the story, the laughs, the tears, there were one or two for my youth! The wife was a blubbering wreck by the end. I wasn't far off. You forget sometimes what a powerhouse Freddy Mercury was.
They don't hold back on anything, the story is honest and leaves you in no doubt as to FM's likes and dislikes.
The casting is freakishly good, Malek is perfect, a little on the thin side but you forget about that 5 minutes in. The rest of the band, down to Brian May's voice are perfect.
A bit of poetic licence taken with timelines but only a die hard like myself would notice. The story is woven together perfectly with a brilliant heart-stirring finale. Bring the tissues.
All in all, what I expected and lots more. See it on the big screen. ASAP. This will sell out fast, if it hasn't already!
