What a performance

Rating: 9/10 (6 May 2019)

If Imdb had a performance rating - well Remi Malek would have gotten a 10/10 from me. Now still let's adress the elephant in the room: is this correct in all of its portrayal when it comes to Queen? No it is not. There are quite a few things that are ... let's call them artistic freedom changes. So if you are not hardcore about those things and can accept these things, then you will be treated with something really amazing.
The performances are great and the story is quite incredible. Yes some things seem like cliches, but that's how stories go. Well probably except the one about Elton John coming in 2019 (Rocketman), which I also look forward to. But this is about Queen and as controversial as Mercury was, almost everyone knows the songs he and Queen created - I guess there might also be some questions about who came up with what song and not having Mercury around answering those questions, the remaining band members answered them - do you believe all of them? Whatever the case, it should not ruin the movie going experience for you. Sit back and just let the movie and (not so much accurate) history take over! Marvelous, splendid and quite extraordinary!
