Not perfect, but still awesome!

Rating: 8/10 (10 December 2018)

This film was one of those films where I fall between the fans who say it's the best thing ever, and the critics who say it's nothing special.
It has some interesting stuff. The cast seemed great both in talent and especially appearance. The cinematography was fun. The story of Freddie is interesting. Particularly the segment where he fails as a solo artist because he doesn't have the support and criticism of his bandmates.
Most of the story seemed pretty accurate, although I was able to spot a few continuity errors. They showed the band playing a song off the Jazz album in a concert prior to A Night at the Opera which came first. I'm pretty sure the rest of the band didn't know about Freddie's diagnosis prior to their Africa Aide concert. Although It seems true that Freddie himself knew about his condition and he told his bandmates something similar to what we see in the film prior to telling the media about having HIV.
I felt about 10 minutes could have been shaved off the runtime too. But overall it's a great film. Definitely worth seeing, even if you aren't a Queen or classic rock fan.
