Fantastic Queen Music. Weak, bland TV movie quality film

Rating: 4/10 (2 February 2019)

Queens music was, is & always shall be fantastic. The late great Freddie Mercury was such an incredible talent & is still sadly missed to this day by his friends, family & many fans.
Sadly this film is very low production quality. Its more of a Lifetime TV movie of the week than cinematic story. The direction is terrible & very disjointed. So is the confused editing. Story is very weak & the screenplay is utterly appalling. It gives the actors nothing to work with & makes the 4 Queen band members appear as bland 1 dimensional impersonations with zero charisma.
Freddie Mercury was an incredible talent but here he is depicted as a selfish & unlikeable diva. The actor playing him is pretty weak & unconvincing to me.
Brian May is another incredible musical talent & is given literally nothing to do in the movie despite being at least 50% of Queens success story.
Same for Roger Taylor he comes across as a very unlikeable serial womaniser. The real Roger is nothing like that!
John Deacon is given so little to work with & depicted as a dumb buffoon. The real John Deacon is a highly skilled musician!
I am shocked May & Taylor allowed this movie to go ahead its not flattering to them & just serves as a music company promo docudrama rather than a proper tell a story about the band cinematic movie event.
Massive letdown for me as a lifelong Queen fan.
