Really did "Rock Me".

Rating: 9/10 (3 November 2018)

Wow.
No really. Firstly what about the critic reviews? I can see the thoughts but think they miss the point. The feeling. I have heard:
"It didn't go as far as it could"
"It's like a trailer for the film"
"It wasted an opportunity"
Then there are the public reviews at 8.4 out of 10 as I write this. If you like Queen music (who doesn't) you are onto a winner already.
I felt moved on numerous occasion. Rami Malek was superb. He took some growing into those teeth, but a performance that made me think at times I was watching Freddie. The rest of the band and "supporting" actors were excellent, and as I expected them to be as characters.
Yes I think the story was somewhat "cleansed" as it would be. These are Freddie's "family" involved in making this, directing it. But a great story, sensitive and left me missing Freddie, emotional and taken on roller coaster of wonderful, nostalgic Queen music. The "Live Aid" is sensational.
I loved it, and recommend it highly. 9/10
