Among the worst movies I've had the misfortune to see in a theater in about a decade. It's a joke. And offensive on several levels. I'm not even a Queen fan and I cringed for Freddie Mercury, reduced here to a caricature.

I heard the movie was bad but still wanted to give it a try. Besides a Queen fan, I am also a huge Beatles fan. I am the kind of dad that gives his 10 year old kids 'The Story of the Beatles' in comic version as a present (and must read for 'general education'). This movie felt like I had just read the story of Queen in comic version. The wikipedia page of Queen translated in Disney style pictures on the white screen with a tribute band and a dental prosthesis as lead actors. Awful!… Expand

Rami is awesome. But this movie is trash. Scattered, sugarcoated, and UNTRUE. Half the events in the movie are edited or totally made up. This is NOT a movie about Queen. It's a movie about a fake band based on Queen. Poor cheap writing.

Shockingly, insidiously, profoundly homophobic. Freddy's sexuality is presented as the central tragedy of his life, and his illness as the inevitable outcome of it. Simply disgusting.

The movie tries to make a caricature about the image of Freddie Mercury, treats him as a steric person and a totally different person than he was. The performance of Erick Malek was medium but in no way should he have won the Oscar.

I was so disappointed... and i am not even a big queen's fan.
The movie is full of very bad dialogues, and also editing is not so good.
Rami Malek's freddie is somehow caricatural...

However, this PG-13 version of Freddy is a very bad movie. There was no exposition. There was no intensity into it. The only good thing about this movie, besides the Live-Aid parts, is the performances. Rami Malek is perfect. Singer is a good director, and he does well for this movie as well. However, the script is so weak. At the end of the day, I do not find this non-R-Rated movie interesting at all.… Expand

Awful putrid, badly directed film. Singer as a director is over. He made a great men a miserable worthlessness. Looking at it is physically painful.

An incredibly boring film with little plot or conflict. One of the biggest disgraces to Freddie Mercury, painting him as an entitled, stubborn, and flamboyantly gay man instead of the genius that he was.

One of the biggest disgraces to Freddie Mercury, painting him as an entitled, stubborn, and flamboyantly gay man instead of the genius that he was. Giving no insight into the band or anything that inspired one of the greatest discographies of one of history's greatest bands. The movie has nothing to say and plays more like a high budget Lifetime movie than a film that has earned accolades at award shows. Rami Malek embodies Mercury and is the only thing worth salvaging from an overall dreadful film.… Expand

I nearly fell asleep. How could they do this to Freddie? Its so by the books and lazy! Where is the celebration of Queen and Freddie's music? Bryan Singer needs to get his act together!

It bears little resemblance to history, with characters, events, and drama fabricated and chronology utterly ignored in an unsuccessful attempt to make history follow Freytag's pyramid. Even to somebody like myself who was completely unfamiliar with the history of Queen, the movie felt like a work of fiction similar to The Greatest Showman. It's a sinking feeling that comes around the 20 minute mark and gets stronger as the film wears on with ever-more convenient plot points. But taken as a work of fiction, this film is simply weak. It's predictable and lacks any meaning below the surface level, and its attempts to elicit emotion are as annoying as they are contrived. The only redeeming quality is the performance of Rami Malek, but who cares? High-quality acting can be witnessed in countless films every year. What matters is the content, and in Bohemian Rhapsody there is little to be found.… Expand

I don't think this did the band justice. I really wish they got different directors.

A special film about the life of a single Freddie Mercury band member. The film has a mounting concern. Interrupted between abysmal slowness and minimum acceleration for a 20 minute end in concert. Problem 20 minutes to fill the gap is longA special film about the life of a single Freddie Mercury band member. The film has a mounting concern. Interrupted between abysmal slowness and minimum acceleration for a 20 minute end in concert. Problem 20 minutes to fill the gap is long and what reason to push the director to leave this part as it for a "Biopic". The biopic is a story of a man who tells and counts a life. A concert is another style. The music is nothing transcendent we know the music queen or at least if we are interested we can listen. Next to the scenario started very quickly, the meeting between the members of the group is looped in 15min, the rise 15 minutes, the fall 1:00 approximately and 20min of concert. The result is a sad movie that you do not want to see again.

Un film particulier sur la vie d'un seul membre du groupe Freddie Mercury. Le film possède un souci de montage. Entrecoupé entre lenteur abyssale et accélération minimum pour une fin de 20 min en concert. Problème 20 minutes pour combler du vide c'est long et quelle raison à pousser le réalisateur à laisser cette partie telle qu'elle pour un "Biopic". Le biopic est une histoire d'homme qui raconte et compte une vie. Un concert c'est un autre style. La musique n'a rien de transcendant on connaît la musique de queen ou au moins si ça nous intéresse on peut les écouter. À côté le scénario démarré très rapidement, la rencontre entre les membres du groupe est bouclée en 15min, l'élévation 15 minutes, la chute 1h00 environ et 20min de concert. Le résultat est un film triste que vous ne voulez pas revoir.… Expand
