Truly entertaining, fast paced and with a kick that will leave you happy in your movie seat theater. Rami delivers in my opinion an award wining performance here. He is the heart and soul of the movie. However, we're talking about Freddie here, and if we we're talking about Freddie then i must say the movie comes a bit short. The music is there, it will make you jump from your seat when "tum tum ta tum tum ta" starts just like Queen's music does, but when it comes to Freddie then you feel like something is missing. The most outrageous, eccentric, exciting musical genius of all time fails short in the movie and due to, perhaps, Singer's lack of balls in delivering a more crude, raw, real version of Freddie, because Rami was perfect. Still, I think anything would fall short when speaking of Freddie so let's just enjoy!!… Expand

He deserves an Oscar nomination for his performance as the lead singer. He brought real depth to him like he made him seem like an average person that everybody can relate to. Some people can even relate to his struggles that he goes through during the movie. The film also showed you not just the ups of the group but also the downs. Not a lot of biopics will do that and I’m really glad this one did. I also really liked how the film made it seem like you’re a fly on the wall during the events. It took you into their process of making the famous songs that we all know and love to this day. One thing that I want to know is how much time and effort went into making the costumes in this film? Cause all costumes looked like the ones they wore in real life. If they don’t win for best costumes then I’ll be really upset. Now, this film only had a few issues for me. For example, in a few scenes, the pacing was off. They rushed through a bunch of different things that were kind of important to the plot or at least so we can better understand how the songs were created and the main relationship. But I can understand cutting some scenes short seeing how the film is already 2 hours and 15 minutes long. This is just me being nit-picky here but I also wish there more songs in the film. In the end, Bohemian Rhapsody is a pretty good film for people who are fans of Queen, heard of them, or who just want to see a good biopic movie.… Expand

But considering everything that happened during filming, the overall result is not bad. I couldn't take my eyes off of Freddie...I mean RAMI. 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

Ultimately, the audience is looking for entertainment, at which point review scores are thrown out of the window.

Bohemian Rhapsody, to put it bluntly, is probably my favorite theater experience in many, many years. And I say "experience" because that is very much what the film is about: watching it on Blu-Ray will never capture the magic of watching it alongside fellow filmgoers at a cinema. I'm not a Queen fan, but ever since watching it I find myself singing Queen songs over and over and over. Right from the get go I knew the movie was going to be something special. And it didn't disappoint, and vastly exceeded my (cautious) expectations.

In my experience, these is one of those rare films that only get better and better, and sadly end a bit too soon (the ending of the film, however, is more than appropiate). It could have lasted another hour and I would have eaten that up like a Queen fan at a Queen concert.

Don't let critics fool you. It is a must see, if only because changing your mind months or years from now will have missed you an unique opportunity to watch this on theaters, where this film shines the most.… Expand

And by that it points out again clearly like a reminder that it was one of the best bands that humanity ever had, which it truly was. In a way, the movie catches the grandiose nature of Queen and the rebel and visionary that Freddie was. If the intention of the movie was to reignite the spark of Queen in the people that were contemporary to the band and spark curiosity in the minds of the young generations that did not saw them live and just heard their songs, it definitely succeeded. And yes,I know the haters will say that it may left behind certain details and bla bla but **** that. I saw this movie twice and absolutely loved it! :D… Expand

I found the film fascinating, emotional, uplifting and memorable. It’s one of the best music films I’ve seen - though it has to be said the bands fantastic songs give it a head start! The actors are all excellent, you only hesitate a few moments before believing that they ‘are’ the original band ... hats off to everyone involved. Yes, it’s a movie adaption, edited to fit into a two hour film, so excludes much of the bands history (and many wonderful songs), but it makes for a compelling and hugely entertaining evening at the cinema. Dedicated Queen follower or just curious - go and watch it - I think you’ll be a fan afterwards!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Funny how just like the song originally, critics don't seem to get why this film is so brilliant. They're upset for what they didn't see, that it didn't challenge boundaries, when in actuality, it shows the frailties of a brilliant musician and his progression as a man. The music tells a story, at least in the important moments. From Love of My Life, to Bohemian Rhapsody, to We Will Rock You, to Another One Bites the Dust, to the brilliant recreation of Live Aid. It moved me deeply, as it also did many others. The only thing that disappointed me was that The Show Must Go On wasn't played in the main part of the film. That song in my mind is a brilliant send off to a brilliant musician, being the last song on Queen's last album before Freddie's death. But regardless, the film was brilliant, and I am very satisfied with how the film turned out.… Expand

Live Aid Score(20/20) They kicked out the jams, no doubt.
6 Minute Single Score(20/20) Way to stick to your guns guys.
Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll Score(20/20) Unlike some movies(I Walk the Line, Ray) this movie realizes that there’s more to the story than these struggles. They’ve got their place but the whole movie doesn’t have to be about them.
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.
Somebody to Love Score (20/20) Freddie seeks what we all do, to love and be loved. May we all choose wisely.

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

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

For me as a big Queen fan, the film is simply a masterpiece. I can well imagine that Bohemian Rapsody also likes non-Queen fans. But as a Queen fan it's just a different feeling. 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

Knowing this, I feared that this film would be just another Philadelphia, and I was hesitant to see it. That is until the reviews of Rami Malek's career defining performance were released. To my surprise and delight this film wasn't just about Freddy Mercury's lifestyle nor was it about the way he tragically died. Bohemian Rhapsody is a film that not only parallels the life of Mercury, but it also shows everything that goes into making a successful band. From their humble beginnings to the process of how music is made, what it's inspirations are, what goes into making an album, and finally to the internal conflicts involved with the different personalities in a band. Bohemian Rhapsody illustrates better than any film I have ever seen, what it truly means to be part of a successful band. As for it's star, Mr. Robot's Rami Malek proves in one foul swoop that he is so much more than simply a TV drama star. His performance was far and away the best I've seen all year, and even though we're a long way away from Academy Award nominations, if Malek's name isn't at the top of that list, it will be an unmitigated outrage. Not only does Malek nail the performance, but he is Freddy Mercury right down to his mannerisms. To be honest, if Freddy Mercury were still alive and starred in this film, I don't think even he'd be as convincing as Malek was. The film is truly a performance that will be talked about for decades, but what about the film itself? Being that music is a huge part of my life, I found everything to be very interesting and informative, but others could see it as slow moving and somewhat boring. Some of the choices Bryan Singer made could be questioned, such as showing the entire Live Aid performance, all twenty minutes of it. Yes, it is an important part of the Queen story, but to show the whole thing in a feature film? Overall, I thought this film was terrific and even if you aren't into the music and aren't a fan of Queen, you need to see this film for nothing else than the performance of it's star. Performances like this one are what gives films the title of classic and are talked about and studied forever.… Expand

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

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.

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

There are curious chronological flaws which must be intended but are not ultimately acceptable, and like other rock band biopics such as "Straight Outta Compton" this liberally rips off Oliver Stone's "The Doors" in formative origin plotting, style and even directly steals an entire scene!

It's not perfect, but it works both as an entertaining film and as a study of the legends, gladly in more ways than just a Wikipedia article turned to a movie script type.

Rami Malek gives an Oscarworthy performance as Mercury in this fast stylish film about how Queen came to be and eventually gave a remarkable performance at "Live Aid". It's a film that will mostly be remembered for its terrific studio- and concert scenes that were all loud and entertaining. The concert scenes have probably the best sound mixing out of all music biopics. The hard bass and drum sounds in the cinema definitely made it feel like a real concert. Not to mention that the music itself is some of the best rock ever made and still to this day sounds completely timeless.

But the movie also has to have something else than just music of course. And that's where it kind of succeeds but not really. The scenes stay colorful and stylish for the most part, but I couldn't help but feel like I'm more or less just waiting. The dialogue is pretty good and funny, but the film's pacing is all over the place. Sometimes it felt like the film's moving at goddamn light's speed, cramming all these different events in that are fighting to get screen time. It all stays very surface level since the movie has so much to say and sometimes it skips over events completely. The director also seemed to have some sort of ADHD when it came to the visuals. An interview scene uses a ton of fisheye lens and vibrating camera to the point of it being distracting. It compliments the point of the scene but it does not compliment your eyes. Also there's a concert scene that has these colorful city names flying to the screen, indicating how wide their tour was. That scene is a good way to get epilepsy even if you don't have epilepsy. Although I can safely say that I was never bored. There are a couple more "quiet" moments that are more of a slow burn which was nice, but the majority of the movie is yelling and people talking over each other. Maybe that's what rockstars do.

For those who want an entertaining film of four legends and good timeless music are going to be satisfied. Despite apparent historical inaccuracies, the movie at least feels very "movie like" so it was always fun to watch and especially the "Live Aid" concert scene at the end of the film is a great one.… 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

Telling the story of the creation of one of the best bands of all time, Queen, from the point of view of Freddie Mercury, facing the difficulties of lack of trust of others and needing the cretivity to develop songs and clips. With time they will need to face the lack of stability of Freddie and find a way to deal with sucess and disagreement. Directed by Bryan Singer and Dexter Fletcher, written by Anthony McCarten.
This movie provided me one of the most unforgettable experiences in a movie theater that i have had in my life, i'm gonna jump right at the ending, where it happens the Live Aid show at the Wembley Stadium, they reproduced almost the whole show at the movie and i gotta say that it was fantastic, one because of how great Rami Malek portrayed Freeddie Mercury, his gestures and grimace was done with maestry, you can watch the real show and then the movie to see how carefully they did it, reminding of details and small things that happened in that day, and two, i was born after the Freddie death, the movie together to my session in the theater made me have the most close sensation to be in a Queen show in my life, it was phenomenal how Rami was able to make the audience go on into the show, the crowd start singing together with the film, clapping together with the audience from the movie, that was an memorable experience for probably everyone in that session.
I gotta say that this ain't no perfect movie, the script does have some flaws, that doesn't compromise it all but it is needed to be mentioned, the structure of the story is very familiar, a ascension from below, than a situation that makes it go down and then an final rise, it isn't innovating and don't present anything new or different in this construction. The script goes in some loop after some moment, where they compose a song, or make a instrumental and then it got cutted into a montage of they playing it in shows and behind the scenes, it is nice because it is queen and the songs are fantastic, but from a narrative point, it is repetitive. The way that they explored Freddie personality was good, i think it was less with words and more with attitudes, showing how he had up and downs, sometimes being kind and generous, in others arrogant and lost, i think they did a good job in here, it could have been better, they could have switch more moments from music montages into this, but still, they didn't forgot about this.
The montage of the music being made were mostly really nice, the making up of Bohemian Rhapsody for me was a lot of fun, funny, connecting us to the movie, the subtlety into some moments just made the movie musically, the We Will Rock You one as well was really nice and easy to make you connect with all that, there were some others that wasn't really interesting to see again, but for sure was a point to add for make it right to the queen list.
Beyond Rami Malek with his great performance, with his maneirisms and subtleties in gesture, way of talk, and some really good monologues with a touch of different emotions and light, we have Gwilym Lee as Brian May, he do a great job, he convinces and looks so much with the original Brian May that it is funny. Ben Hardy giving a lot of personality to Roger Taylor. Lucy Boynton as Mary Austin, she did a very nice job, she was delightful at first, and she totally convinces in her sadness or believing into something, and even in a possibly fear. Mike Myers and Aidan Gillen are also in this movie, and they are very functional, both did a nice job.
I think this movie approaches in a good way the depression, it is like that Jim Carrey quote "I wish that everybody had fame and money for them to see that this isn't the asnwer" i'm not sure if it is exactly like that, but even after Freddie got all that money and all that fame, he still nedeed to give his partys to a bunch of people that he don't even know, doing that most likely just to feel something, i could feel the lost in some of those moments in the movie.
I think they did have approached the sexuality of Mercury in a wholesome way, i don't know exactly how the story goes, but in here it was natural, it was simple and good, they did it with calm, a little by a little.
This movies ended up being more a tribute to the band and it's great music than anything else, but considering this, they did a very good job, i agree that they could have explore different aspects, involve more mental subjects in the script and morals, but in here they did a good job with what they intended to.… Expand

Bohemian Rhapsody. His Royal Majesty! Awesome music and an equally awesome movie. The actors are well chosen and the final Live Aid was filmed 1: 1 like the original concert.

Instead of following the actual timeline of events, the movie shifts around and makes up some of the events for the purpose of movie drama. I took no offense to that and enjoyed the movie for what it is: A celebration of Freddie Mercury and Queen. 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

Bohemian 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. 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

Tackling a story like the story of Freddie Mercury is no easy task especially when the icon’s legacy lives on, and there are new generations of listeners keeping him alive. Yet, for screenwriter Peter Morgan, tackling this story is exactlyTackling a story like the story of Freddie Mercury is no easy task especially when the icon’s legacy lives on, and there are new generations of listeners keeping him alive. Yet, for screenwriter Peter Morgan, tackling this story is exactly what he did when crafting BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY – and ensuring that the film would be a celebration of the music as well as carrying on the legacy of Queen and Freddie. The film is built around who Freddie was – his background in Zanzibar, his coming to London as an immigrant, the prejudice he dealt with growing up, his shyness and insecurities about his looks, how he battled on so many different fronts, his brilliance as a songwriter and musician, how he found another family in the band, his reinvention as a larger-than-life performer.

Although the screenplay entertains and does have some masterful moments, it does lack in giving other moments enough time on screen in order for them to land with the intended punch. This is most likely due to the fact that the narrative covers a lot of events in the span of the film’s running time.

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY does deliver some colorfully hilarious moments, and the snarky dialogue uttered by the ensemble of characters is too good to resist.

One cannot talk about this film without mentioning the brilliant performances of the entire cast.

Emmy award winner Rami Malek’s spot on embodiment of Freddie Mercury induces goosebumps, and he gives it his all – not only honoring Queen’s leading man but also solidifying him as a force not to be reckoned with.

It was not in his moments of grandiose flamboyance, but in the subtleties and nuances where Malek’s strengths take center stage.

This is not anyone that Malek is taking on, but a man that is respected as a legendary talent and loved for his kindness and unforgettable nature.

The narrative does its part in balancing both Mercury’s ingenious nature as well as his flaws – and handles it in a way that is respectful towards Mercury’s legacy without shying away from truths.

Lucy Boynton who plays Mary Austin, the love of Mercury’s life, and her performance becomes the soul of the film paralleling her character’s effect on Mercury.

Gwilym Lee (Brian May), Ben Hardy (Roger Taylor), and Joe Mazzello (John “Deacy” Deacon) are the cherries on top of the already delicious sundae. Each brings forth their own interpretation of the band member they played and do so genuinely.

Visually the film uses a lot of 80’s inspired montages – and overall does a solid job at keeping the audience engaged.

Unfortunately, the Live Aid sequence at the end broke the audience’s suspension of disbelief due to the Live Aid audience quite clearly being completely computer generated.

Many critics seem to have been disappointed by the film and sought something more – yet BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY was as loud and flashy as it was sincere and heart-breaking; and witnessing it will not only remind you of how inspiring Queen was, but how one should never be afraid of their true voice.

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY is the second film this year that looks at the lives of performers and exposes the darkness that lies within it – it almost feels like Hollywood is trying to get people to turn away from an already over-crowded industry.

It’s been over 25 years since Freddie Mercury’s death, yet the music lives on. Freddie redefined and transcended stereotypes, just as Queen’s music refused to be slotted into any traditional genre. Perhaps that’s why the band is such a cross-generational, multicultural and global phenomenon, and BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY honors that.… Expand

As a guy who's been a Queen fan since I've been a music fan, this movie has given me mixed emotions. On the one hand, It is an incredibly entertaining movie with fantastic performances and a, needless to say, fantastic soundtrack. The endingAs a guy who's been a Queen fan since I've been a music fan, this movie has given me mixed emotions. On the one hand, It is an incredibly entertaining movie with fantastic performances and a, needless to say, fantastic soundtrack. The ending made me shed a tear, and I left the theater with a sense of joy, and made me want to rediscover Queen's music all over again. On the other hand, some timeline issues and historical inaccuracies made me question some of the decisions taken in this movie. I did react to certain songs being played before they were chronologically made in the movies timeline, and certain decisions to sacrifice historical accuracy for the purpose of storytelling were questionable. However, these things didn't take away from my full enjoyment of the movie. It isn't an accurate and truthful biopic about Freddie Mercury and his private life, instead it's a joyful celebration of Queen, their music and their legacy. It tells the story with great humor and on many occasions, I was dying of laughter for some of the unexpected jokes in this film. It is a wild ride and a fun show, just like Freddie would have wanted it to be.

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

No biopic is 100% accurate or covers EVERYTHING but this one was relatively entertaining & informative. I thought the focus on the whole band would be boring but it wasn't. The actors sure do look true to who they're portraying. And I like how they showed the band's range by doing the whole "Queen is whatever we say it is" thing. 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. This one is for the casual fan who wants to get her feet wet & enjoy some classic chunes.… 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
