A beautiful tribute to Freddie

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2018)

I can understand where the critics were coming from... this movie definitely grazed over the true depth Queen and could have gone deeper into the full story of Freddie and the band, their rise and struggles, and the aftermath of Mercury's death and the impact it had... But all in all, it was a beautiful movie with a brilliant cast. Malek's portrayal of the iconic Freddie Mercury was, without question, one of the best performances I have ever seen. At times I thought I was watching the real Freddie, and for that matter, the real Brian, John, and Roger. As a lover of Queen's music, I was immersed in the story, singing along to all the songs, and felt all of joy and sorrow that you should feel when remembering an epic musician that perished far too soon... Though I was left wanting more, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie from the first line to the closing credits. It is the Queen we all know and love, and it was a beautiful tribute to Freddie. I wish he was still with us today... And, if he was, I believe he would absolutely approve of this movie! If you love Queen then you will love this movie! It may be a watered down version of their story, but the story is still amazing.. and worth watching time and time again.
