Bohemian Rhapsody

Wow, I really enjoyed this film! The casting was perfect and there was a good balance between the band members and showing what they contributed. Although this film obviously focused largely on Freddie, no one ever felt overlooked. While I think the film could have been done a little better in some areas, Rami's performance as Freddie Mercury is exceptional and now I can't imagine anyone else playing him! There were some flaws but this film was a lot of fun to watch and also very moving. I couldn't help but smile even through the first opening minutes, which I loved, as well as there being moments that were very emotional. Also, that ending blew me away - I'll definitely be watching this again!

Absolutely perfect! Exactly what I hoped it would be: An affectionate, but objective biopic about Queen and their music. I'd heard about it being an emotional rollercoaster, and I must admit, one or two tears did roll down my cheeks. But I was quite relieved that it didn't dwell on the aids too much, as that's not what Freddie would have wanted. He kept on "fighting 'til the end", and the main focus of the film was their music. Outstanding performances by all members of the cast, and whoever did the casting, make-up and costumes deserves an award. You really believed Gwilym Lee was Brian May, Ben Hardy was Roger Taylor and Joseph Mazello was John Deacon. They all looked spot on. Needless to say Rami Malek was just phenomenal as Freddie. Nobody could have played the part better. The amount of work that has gone into the making of this film is absolutely mind-blowing. They have set the standard high for all future biopics to compete. I've never known anything like this film.
