A kind of Magic

Rating: 9/10 (2 November 2018)

Its rare that the hairs on my body stand on end, or i have to hold back a tear, in any kind of movie, as i see it as just that - A movie.
This one was different, probably because Queen were a large part of my growing up, and his death was untimely, and shocking. I watched, having heard how good Rami Maleks performance was, but i was also happily amazed at the visual and vocal similarity of Brian Mays portrayal.
The film touched upon freddies Shenanigans, and it didnt need to dwell on them. The flamboyant parties, the drugs, the sexual references were all there, and it didnt need to make a large issue out of them. Just seeing them in passing was enough to understand.
I left in the mood for more Queen, but happy the movie stopped where it did, on a high. Absolutely bloody brilliant - watch it in the Cinema, and enjoy the sound of Freddie and Queen.
Oh, and enjoy the Fox logo at the start - it set me up for the movie ;-)
