Bohemian Rhapsody Will Rock You

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2018)

By now, you've probably read a bunch of reviews from professionals...many of whom have ranted and whined about the timeline and conceptual errors that supposedly completely ruined the movie and destroyed Freddie Mercury's legacy.
Well...guess what? Brian May and Roger Taylor, two of the founding members of Queen, worked on the movie. In my opinion, if a movie about Queen is authentic enough for the members of Queen...it's authentic enough for me.
Personally, I cannot wait until the pretend job of professional critic no longer exists.
I rate movies on a pretty simple scale based on how much I enjoyed watching the movie. I really enjoyed this movie. I didn't give a rat's butt about them playing with the timelines. Its not a bloody documentary...it's a movie...and this was a fantastic movie.
I grew up with Queen. I love their music. They told a great story, played a lot of great music and I enjoyed every second of the movie.
They dealt frankly with Mercury's sexuality but didn't dwell on it. What made him great is that he did everything his way, music and his life.
Great acting, excellent directing and lots of Queen. They expertly manipulated my emotions and kept me in the story from start to finish.
Go see it...you'll be glad you did...unless you're a professional critic. In that case, don't, and if you do see it, for everyone's sake, pretend you didn't.
