Even More of a Queen Fan Now

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 2019)

Rami Malek is incredible. That's what the consensus is on this film. The rest of the movie has been debated. I believe this was a fun frolic of a summary of the band Queen, but mainly Freddie Mercury, because although the band as a whole is great, Freddie is what we all came for.
Some say the movie took a too family friendly approach to the story; however, they did delve into Freddie's personal issues, but maybe not as deep as the movie enthusiasts that crave depressing themes desired. This did not bother me in the slightest. I found the movie to be a genuinely exciting experience watching the band form and develop their beloved music. The concert scenes were so well done that you truly believe the actors portraying the band members were born to be rockstars.
The acting all around was excellent with the obvious stand out and scene stealer being Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury. This film was definitely one of my favorite of the year and a left the theater with a big smile on my face.
