Amazing performances, and an AMAZING story!!

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2018)

Being a die-hard Queen fan, there was never a question if I would see this movie. The question was would I like it? I have seen many biopics about well-known people, and frankly, most of them were disappointments to one degree, or another. However, that is NOT the case for this one!! The reviews from some of the critics out there had me worried, too. But honestly, they must have watched a different film, altogether.
The actor's performances were AMAZING!! Especially Rami Malek!! His representation of Freddie was flawless. Gwilum Lee, Ben Hardy, and Joseph Mazzello were likewise flawless in their depiction of Brian, Roger and John, respectively. I definitely think that there should be an Oscar or two in the future here... They EARNED it!!
This could not have been an easy film to make, trying to take 15 plus years, with one of the greatest musical groups of all time, and stuff it into a little more than two hours... I admire them for even trying. But this is SO much more than I was expecting!! It was an incredible glimpse behind the curtain, at the lives of the men that became legends, and those that were close to them, for better and for worse. I laughed, I tried not to sing along too loudly, and I cried... Ugly cried. It was a beautiful journey. Personally, I can't wait to see it again!!
