Entertaining as a movie, offensive as an biography

Rating: 5/10 (17 February 2019)

When I first saw bohemian rapsody I did enjoy it. The second time I saw it I could only enjoy Rami Malek's performance (which was definitely worthy of the praise). The film is an insult to Queen and Freddie's legacy. It takes an interesting and explicit story of an iconic rock and roll band and its larger-than-life frontman and turns it into cookie cutter Hollywood trash. Do Brian May and Roger Taylor realise a film doesn't have to have a grade school structure? Especially not an biographical movie. Probably not, as they were too busy making sure they were portrayed as angels in the movie. Did anyone else notice Freddie and everyone else was responsible for all the 'conflict' (half of which was purely fictional) and the other band member were merely the victims of his promiscuity? Completely insulting. Other than Rami's performance the only good thing about the film is the music, which is thanks to Queen, and no credit should go to the movie for this.
