There are many things that were changed and omitted in this film dedicated to Freddie Mercury.
Still, I think this movie is pretty good if you're not such a fan of this person.

The movie is a bit slow around the end of the first hour, but it does pickup after that. The Live Aid show is really full of emotions and energy. Love it. The acting is relatively solid. Rami Malek just carry this movie. His performance is amazing. The movie doesn't fall into scenes of debauchery and sex. It is mostly alluded. The music is great but not really presented in a chronological order. I give it 78%. I had a good time watching the movie, even if the middle section wasn't that engaging.… Expand

Comentario película “Bohemian Rhapsody”

Es una película británica, dirigida por Bryan Singer estrenada en el año 2018 con una duración de 134 minutos, protagonizada por Rami Malek de genero dramático, nominada a 5 premios de la AcademiaComentario película “Bohemian Rhapsody”

Es una película británica, dirigida por Bryan Singer estrenada en el año 2018 con una duración de 134 minutos, protagonizada por Rami Malek de genero dramático, nominada a 5 premios de la Academia incluyendo Mejor Película. En la película se relata el transcurso del grupo musical Queen y relata la vida de Freddy Mercury, el cual era muy estrafalario y rompía con los estereotipos propuestos por la sociedad de ese entonces para convertirse en uno de los cantantes mas famosos del mundo. La película nos muestra el notorio avance que tuvo el grupo musical por el éxito de sus canciones ya que no eran muy comunes y así mismo su gran participación en el Live Aid en la que el grupo musical Queen fue participe, liderado por Freddy el cual estaba pasando por enfermedad que amenazaba su vida. Es una película realmente increíble que hasta hoy en día sigue inspirando a la gente y amantes del tipo de música que ellos producían. Se resalta cada detalle importante de la vida del protagonista y así mismo las canciones más icónicas que tuvieron como “We Will Rock You”, “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “I want to Break Free”, entre otras, acercando al espectador un poco más a la vida y el progreso del cantante. Desde el inicio nos engancha en una trama que es imposible dejar de ver pues esta tiene un parecido impresionante a lo que fue Queen y Freddy Mercury en la realidad que es lo que se busca en una película de este estilo. En concreto, es una película muy intensa y para nada tradicional, es muy recomendada para aquellos amantes de este grupo musical y cada momento importante que hayan pasado, incluyendo la producción de sus canciones ya que para nadie es un secreto que rompen muchas barreras puestas en la industria musical. Merece una calificación de 10 en una escala de 0 a 10.… Expand

Not a favourite band of mine by all means, but it is difficult to not understand their importance and appeal. They had some iconic songs (namely "Bohemian Rhapsody", "We Will Rock You", "We Are the Champions" and "Don't Stop Me Now") and Freddie Mercury's immediately recognisable vocals and Brian May's virtuosic guitar playing were always out of this world.

'Bohemian Rhapsody' fascinated me when hearing about it and became most of my most anticipated films for the year. When hearing some negativity for the film, my expectations lowered a little, but saw it anyway because it did look and sound good. It did turn out to be a good decision, it is good to see that others here loved it and don't agree with the mixed critical reception respectfully.

Sure there are clichés (such as what some of the rest of Queen say) , but very few films are not and many are much worse in this regard. Like a lot of biopics, there are inaccuracies that may drive die-hard Queen fans into a frenzy, and the odd factual distortion, but again 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is not the first or worst film to do this and am going to judge it as a film on its own and not on a documentary level.

As a film on its own terms, 'Bohemian Rhapsody' has an awful lot to admire. Getting the issues out of the way, the ones that could have been handled much better was the with the revelation of Freddie Mercury's AIDs diagnosis to the rest of the band, could have been done with more tact and less crass (like saying what it was a consequence of) and revealed too early and at the wrong time, and the implications with the phone ringing off post-taking centre stage that the event was a flop when it actually was a triumph.

Some of the early parts were a touch rushed as well, Mercury's ascent to stardom could have been less breakneck.

However, 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is stylishly film and evokes the period beautifully. As to be expected, the songs are incredible and will be embedded in your brain for a long time, then again it is Queen of course. They are affectionately staged and performed in a way that made me remember what made me appreciate Queen in the first place.

Didn't find the script that simplistic or cliff-notes like, while there is a nice mix of moment of laughter, tension and tears and enough parts that entertained and informed, if not as in depth as it should. The story is never dull and the Live Aid depiction is both rousing and poignant. It's capably directed and while all the performances are fine if underused, it is Rami Malek's outstanding turn as Mercury that will live long in the memory, true to what made Mercury so interesting a person and performer without being an impersonation.

Concluding, impressively done and better than anticipated. 8/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

I enjoyed this film for most of the duration but it was that final scene, the infamous set during Live Aid, that I found really, particularly engrossing and memorable, much like (I imagine) the real life performance.

I felt that Rami MalekI enjoyed this film for most of the duration but it was that final scene, the infamous set during Live Aid, that I found really, particularly engrossing and memorable, much like (I imagine) the real life performance.

I felt that Rami Malek did give a particularly good performance as Freddie Mercury. Freddie's undoubted charisma comes across quite well on screen. Of course there's the fact that (as some critics/others have mentioned) some (sexual related) details were glossed over, shall I say, which I believe was mainly done to allow the film to get the lower 12 rating, rather than a 15. I wouldn't say it entirely detracted from the film - it is perhaps a little sanitised, perhaps there's an element of artificiality about it, a bit but the film is still a decent, pretty solid film regardless. There are some witty lines of dialogue and I enjoyed seeing the group (Queen, obviously) rise in popularity and how Freddie got on (or not) with the other band members and the like. This is a fun film to watch if you want to have a bit of a sing along and its intriguing in terms of the plot. I like Queens music but I can't say I knew much about the history of the group, so I found this both an entertaining and an insightful film. How true it is to the history of the group, I can't really say but as a film itself, its a decent watch and so I'd recommend it on that basis (rock on!!).… Expand

I must point out that it is a movie about Queen and not a biography of Freddie Mercury which is not a criticism (Some expected this and found the movie a bit disappointing because of this). Queen is and was more than Freddie Mercury even when he is the driving factor, a legend and probably the greatest entertainer of his age especially on stage. He is however the most prominent character in the movie (Anything else would be surprising). Also it leaves out some things which is also O.K. because it is an entertainment movie not a documentary. The movie tells the story of Queen from the founding until the legendary Live Aid performance. Sidenote: They added the real Live Aid performance under extras. I recommend to watch it as it is a legendary performance that is always on the top list of all time live performances and entered music history. Back to the movie. It shows the struggles, up and downs and success with its price. There is always some attrition in successful bands no matter the genre, home country or composition. All are just humans with flaws and being penned up on long tours, composing sessions and public relation events has a toll. It is however also not a deconstruction of Queen or its members. It was so great how the songs were integrated with their creation stories like “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “We will Rock you” and “Another one bites the dust”. The “Who wants to live forever” scene is heartbreaking. The movie Live Aid performance is just awesome and I praise the recreation. Anyone who is not touched by this is already dead on the inside. Of cause it tells about Freddie’s illness and sexual orientation. The later is not much shown because many countries are homophobic up to death penalty. Even his home country of Zanzibar which has a museum devoted to him is intolerant. Lets go to the actors: Rami Malek won the Oscar for his performance and rightfully so. He became Freddie Mercury for his role and made a stellar performance. Gwilym Lee is a fantastic Brian May as are Ben Hardy as Roger Taylor and Joe Mazzello as John Deacon. Like in real live they are a bit outshined by Freddie or better said Rami Malek. They still deliver a great performance and I will praise them all. For the rest I will praise Lucy Boyton as Mary Austin, Aidan Gillen as John Reid and Allen Leech as Paul Prenter. A really good to great overall performance. The main star is of cause the music and they made full use of Queens greatest hits. One of the best soundtrack in movie history and I would have bought it if I did not already own all songs. What I should also praise is the style and look of the movie. Everything looks believable and authentic. From small details to the big sets and costumes. Overall this is a phenomenal experience for Queen fans and even non fans. They made so much timeless classics. It was enjoyable from beginning to end but I will give a fan boy warning for myself to be fair.… Expand

Rami Malek does a really good job playing Freddie even though he exaggerates Mercurys slight speech impairment a bit too much. Since the movie as it is is already over 2 hours long, they cut out stuff like finding John Deacon as the bass player of Queen. I hope we will get an extended cut of the movie at some point.… Expand

Freddie defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. TheBohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury. Freddie defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound. They reach unparalleled success, but in an unexpected turn Freddie, surrounded by darker influences, shuns Queen in pursuit of his solo career. Having suffered greatly without the collaboration of Queen, Freddie manages to reunite with his bandmates just in time for Live Aid. While bravely facing a recent AIDS diagnosis, Freddie leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. Queen cements a legacy that continues to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day. Bohemian Rhapsody hits a handful of high notes, but as an in-depth look at a beloved band, it offers more of a medley than a true greatest hits collection.… Expand

They were one of the few rock bands to branch out & incorporate opera, disco...videos in drag in the conservative '80s... and they definitely paid the price for it with critics (especially American ones). There's quite a bit of editing of Freddie's drug use/erratic moods, and it's a shame they couldn't show more of his final years (even though it's terribly sad). Like it or not, the AIDS epidemic played a central role in not only Freddie's life but that entire era. But the actors were REALLY great. Can't stress that enough. If you want a strictly chronological/historical account of Queen or Freddie, there are tons of documentaries out there.

The first scene takes us right to the final moments of the film and sets the tone for the rest of the feature. It takes some artistic freedom and creative shortcuts in its storytelling for everyone's viewing pleasure. In other ways, this biographical extravaganza is much more than just your average biopic. It's the story of one of the greatest rock bands in our times and it has both killer performances and a killer soundtrack. Rami Malek has earned his Oscar, for sure!

The story itself flows nicely, mostly because it goes into the actual Queen phase quite quickly without proper introduction of the central characters. Hardcore Queen fans are surely going to enjoy this movie from the go, but casual viewers will be drawn in by the time the movie shows the creation of Bohemian Rhapsody. The middle part of the movie slows thing down a bit, focuses on Freddie's eccentric side, and tones down the band itself. It's all a build up to the spectacular Live Aid-concert; the 20-minute long closing sequence of the film, carefully reconstructed based on the legendary performance given by Queen in the summer of 1985.

Bohemian Rhapsody is at its peak when it shows the band working together creating some of the timeless rock classics. The rest of the film never really stands out, even if Malek and the rest of the cast manage to deliver some good dramatic moments. I would have wished to see more Queen, more music and simply a story with an actual end.… Expand

The iconic Queen songs like "Bohemian Rapsody", "Another one bites the dust", "Hammer to fall", "Love of my life" etc. (At this point I could name many more songs) were always used in the right place and were therefore very fitting. It was tried to represent the origin of the respective song, which was always very interesting. You have to mention that Rami Malek was very well chosen as an actor for Freddie Mercury. Rami Malek put himself into the role of the legend Freddie Mercury very well and was able to portray everything very detailed. This was especially apparent at the Live Aid concert at Wembley Stadium. The movements of Rami Malek were very detailed to Freddie!

In summary, I can say that the film is a masterpiece for me as a Queen fan. The life story of Freddie Mercury was shown very well. I can recommend the film to every Queen fan and music lover!

To be honest, I absolutely can't understand the bad reviews of "Bohemian Rapsody". Don't be afraid of it, just watch the movie and convince yourself!… Expand

The movie plays like a best off Queen’s greatest hits and achievements, which isn’t a bad thing. The music still has the power to sway any audience and Freddie’s commanding stage presence is excellently recreated by an outstanding performance by Rami Malek. Freddie’s band mates are equally well portrayed, albeit a bit of the card board variety. Brian May is the other stand out, every detail and nuance of his mannerisms has been captured, one could easily be fooled he was the real person. To me the biggest let down was the watered down story. It was competent but without any rough edges. Nothing that ruffles the feathers. It’s a tribute to Queen and a very entertaining one at that.… Expand

This is a terrific film. I have no idea why the so-called “critics” bag on it, but the music and acting is wonderful. If you are a fan of Queen, it is a must-see, if you are not, it is still worthy of your time.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was shocked after watching this film. After Rami Malek got Oscar for the best actor I decided to watch this and I am proud of his acting. Every time I watch films based on someone's biography after watching I start to research what had happened in reality. And this time I was shocked the second time because of the similarity of actors to their real characters. Rami expressed and shared emotions and feelings to the audience. The process of making "Bohemian Rhapsody" was so descriptive and I feel like I was there near them and was a part of that great process. After all, I watched Live Aid concert and was shocked the third time. I was crying because of the fact that how a film can be so similar and can share the inner spirit of the past event. It shows not only the biography of Freddy but also a biography of Queen at all, as a band as a family as friendship. It was dynamic.
The music, actors and overall scenario were awesome and despite the fact that there were some minor points which were not the same in reality, the movie is a masterpiece.… Expand

But I really enjoy this movie and I think it is pretty great. Rami Malek does a tremendous job portraying the late great Freddie Mercury. I do agree that it is pretty much a movie of Queen's greatest hits which is why I really liked it. Watching this movie and listening to the greats such as We Will Rock You, Hammer to Fall, Radio Gaga, Fat Bottomed Girls, etc. is part of the experience. An issue I had with the movie is during the live aid sequence, Rami Malek's performance looks a little strange. He moves a little robotic like, especially when he opens his mouth. A problem I have with it is not only does it look strange, but it also looks like he's not even singing. I understand he wasn't actually singing during that sequence, my problem is that it doesn't look like he was really singing. Overall, I really enjoyed the film, it has some issues, but I think the performance by Rami Malek, and the hits by Queen are definitely the selling point.… Expand

You'll find out when and why Farrokh Bulsara changed his name and when he determined he was bi. You'll also learn that when Freddie makes a firm decision, it's final. You'll also see the beginnings of their hallmark title song but interestingly it's never fully played, kind of ironic. In many ways, the film is very similar to A&E's "Behind the Music" documentaries. What it doesn't show, though, is actual footage of Freddie/Queen, nor does it show Freddie's death/funeral, both of which I found a bit disappointing.… Expand

Rami Malek saved this film 200% and that was the only thing I needed to be sold on. This is how Freddie would've wanted to be remembered. It's enough. If audiences want a more realistic depiction of the studio sessions and other stuff, I'm sure there will be a documentary in the works for that. Else there are several videos on Youtube (Behind the scenes of studio sessions). I would call this a biopic on Freddie Mercury rather than on Queen as a whole.… Expand

Please, please, read until the end. They always lacked a deeper, more intricate meaning in their music, insight, they are all about externalizing themselves; but if this is a problem when it comes to their music, it works magic in film.

Director Bryan Singer gets this. 'Bohemain Rhapsody' is visible in lacking insight or bravery into Freddie Mercury's life. When he confesses to his lover, Mary (Lucy Byonton) the fact that he is bisexual, she is like--damn, sucks, bro. And he is like--yeah, i know, right. That's about it. But this is not a documentary. This is an artistic film. Like Mercury himself, Singer gives the people what they want--an extravagant, elegant, virtuoso exodus embodied by the march of Rami Malek's career-defining performance. Seriously, he was astounding as the legendary lead singer.

If the late Freddie Mercury was alive, he would approve of this. Throughout this formulaic biopic, one thing managed to stand out, though, albeit it was not that obvious--Mercury's devotion to his fans. "I'm a performer, darling!" Even after discovering his incurable disease, his sole focus was on putting on a nice show. I admire this about him and I admire the film for at least trying to portrait this. And while I am not a huge Queen fan, damn it if Freddie Mercury is not the greatest performer ever.

The first half had its moments of tediousness, mostly due to its straight-forward basic Wikipedia-style of standard biographic presentation. But the ending performance at the 1985 Live Aid was so explosive, cursive that when I looked at the time left and saw less than 20 minutes, realizing it was not a full recreation, I was a bit frustrated. Still, the glory was there and, I admit it, I like Queen a bit more now.… Expand

Bohemian Rhapsody isn't perfect but it hitsA thrilling pseudo-biopic that follows one of the most significant bands in history and the frontman that helped take the band to new heights all the while losing control of himself in the process. Bohemian Rhapsody isn't perfect but it hits so many of the right notes with casting, flow, music timing, and it gives people a look behind the curtain (even if there is some artistic license used and the events might not have occurred in the succession seen in the movie). I felt like I watched Freddie Mercury reincarnated from the grave which is a testament to Rami Malek's acting chops and film directors Bryan Singer and Dexter Fletcher for getting so much out of the cast. Bohemian Rhapsody might at times play the like a rock star cover band but it's no Rock of Ages where we just get a series of great tunes for kicks - this is a solid artistic product that feels so Queen it might as well have been all of us in chairs watching this unfold right before our eyes. The movie could have just given us a little more of the rest of the band's story because as the movie points out, these guys needed each other to be as great as they were and while Freddie was the fame the band wasn't just the Freddie Mercury show.… Expand

I think the negative critic reviews stem from the fact of.....well we live in a PC word and delving into the topics like that seems to be the necessary trend to make critics happy. While they do admittedly walk on eggshells with this movie in that regard, it is necessary. This is a movie about Queen, not just Freddie Mercury. This is a story about the band and how they became one of the most powerful and influential forces of the culture they inhabited rather than a singular story about Mercury's demons.

Brian May Score(5/10) He drew some exquisite tones from his guitar. It seems to me that should have been a bigger part of the story.
I’m in Love with My Car Score(0/5) “Told my girl I’ll have to forget her, Rather buy me a new carburetor” That’s a great lyric and was better than the dissing it got as a possible single release
Kansas Score(0/5) Totally biased perspective here. Ever since I saw “A Star is Born” I’ve been thinking we need a movie about Kansas. They made a career of doing songs like Bohemian Rhapsody.

However, I think the movie does a great job of telling Freddie Mercury's and the band's story. While watching the movie, I found myself cheering for the band and hoping for their success, even though I'm not really a Queen fan. I think Bryan Singer was trying to make a film that was fun to watch, and he succeeded admirably. His direction is quite good. Perhaps people were looking for a darker, more serious examination of Freddie Mercury's and the band's story. Also, perhaps critics derided the movie because of Bryan Singer's questionable conduct in his private life. Regardless, if you are looking for a fun rock biopic, I highly recommend Bohemian Rhapsody. Oh yeah, one last thing - Rami Malek is fantastic!… Expand

I felt like I was at a Queen performance and it had me hooked. Unfortunately some of the forced humour and moments of the band's personal life was lost on me. It felt almost hollow. I expected a lite more drama or grit to their movie, and from what I hear they took some huge poetic licence liberties with it. Could have been a lot stronger, but as I said, the music holds it together and it's a movie about music, so worth a look if that's your jam.… Expand

Storytelling is very good, don't let the bad reviews fool you. I cried, in both times that I've seen it. If you love Queen music, you will love this movie.

What I expected to see was more of the true Freddy - how he got into music, why he was passionate about it, reveal of his family and so on. As Biography the film fails, but as Music experience and Drama Bohemian Rhapsody nailed it.… Expand

It's not a masterpiece by any means but it plays very well on the nostalgia factor and it's a good viewing experience. It's very good for what it is. I just have to say that, if you don't like Queen, you're probably not going to like this. Even if you're neutral and just not familiar with the band, it'll be pretty hard for you to get into this movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Bohemian Rhapsody" is much like Queen itself: soaring transcendent music at times and questionable thematic choices at others ("Fat-Bottomed Girls," really?). The shame is that there's so much material to work with and Director Bryan Singer (best known for the X-Men series) does so little with it.

The most egregious oversight is any thoughtful exploration of Mercury himself. Mercury had a long-term, apparently heart-felt, relationship with Mary Austin (who inspired “Love of My Life”) before embarking on a series of relationships with men. While there is the broad suggestion that Mercury’s sexuality was considerably more complicated than a simple “coming out,” the topic remains unexplored. In general, Mercury’s emotional life, much like his rampant alcohol/drug abuse, goes unremarked in the screenplay. Director Singer seems to justify this choice by offering a scene where Mercury defends his privacy against a stereotypically prying press corps. Like the scene itself, it’s all a little jumbled and out of focus.

Even the Mercury vocals represent a curious choice. In fairness, it would be nearly impossible for any actor to replicate Mercury’s unique vocal style. However, when album tracks are not used, the creative team has used isolated master tracks of Mercury in the studio mashed up with tracks from Canadian Christian rock singer Marc Martel and, perhaps, others. It is unclear what Rami Malek, who plays Mercury, contributes. In one interview, Malek charitably describes the result as “an amalgamation of a few voices.”

Worst of all, this screenplay reduces a potentially fascinating story to an exercise in paint-by-numbers. The arc of the story is totally predictable: star rises from humble beginnings, achieves great success, becomes an arrogant jerk, has a flash of self-awareness and a moment of redemption just before the final credits roll. In service of this trope, several facts are omitted or alternative facts created. SPOILER ALERT: The screenplay depicts Queen’s 1985 participation in Live Aid at Wembley Stadium as Mercury’s act of final redemption following his diagnosis. Inconveniently, Mercury was not diagnosed as HIV+ until well after the event.

Having said all that, when the music rolls, wow! It is majestic, sweeping, moving, transcendent. Queen offers a soundtrack of the 70’s and 80’s. “We Are the Champions,” “Somebody to Love,” “We Will Rock You,” and so many more. The catalog is lengthy and this show does them full justice, even occasionally offering insight into the creative process behind anthems many of us have hummed for decades. The director and performers take full advantage, making these musical numbers well worth the price of admission.

Malek is riveting in the leading role. He fully commits to this character, even to the point of wearing a dental prosthesis throughout the film. Because of Malek’s skill, the general impression of his character as Mercury is, at times, eerie, particularly the scenes on stage. Malek’s ability to convey emotional distance yet accessibility, so clearly on display in Mr. Robot, serves him admirably in this role.

The CGI of some of the concert scenes, particularly Wembley Stadium, is extremely effective, giving the moviegoer an acute sense of the size and passion of Queen’s following around the world. One would hope that these effects are put to good use – the closing credits for CGI personnel seemed to number in the hundreds.

Bottom line: If you want to watch the soundtrack of an iconic band, portrayed compellingly, this film delivers in full measure. “Bohemian Rhapsody” is a whole lot more than a tribute band. However, if you want a thoughtful examination of the human condition, Freddie Mercury’s or anyone else’s, you’re in for a lengthy disappointment (running time is 2:13).… Expand

This film is so underrated by the critics. I can't believe they gave it 4.9. The user score is much more realistic, the film is completely fantastic and I love every minute of it.
