Plain plot, lots of factual errors

Rating: 5/10 (20 July 2019)

I started asking myself "who's the audience of this movie?" since first half an hour of watching. I've got no answer yet, after watching it completely. The movie doesn't tell neither the story of Queen, nor the story of Freddie Mercury. It's very vague, everything goes smoothly, and there's no real story of the band to remember. On the other hand, the movie has too many factual errors for any Queen fan to watch it without crying out "whaaaat?" every now and then. Nor is it a biopic, as it's rather a caricature of Freddie Mercury, which becomes especially visible during ending credits, when real footage of Freddie is shown. And obviously, it's not a strong movie to marvel, as the plot is quite plain, and none of the acting is convincing.
So, if you want to watch Queen in action and listen to their music, watch their live videos or Greatest Flix. And I don't see any other reason to watch the movie. 5 stars only because it's Queen's music, an attempt to tell a story of the great band, and it's not outright awful.
