Takes a few liberties with the facts (songs out of place, AIDS diagnosis timeline) but does a good job of telling the story of both the band and the singer. Malek will get an Oscar nod.

Wife and I saw it last night. Acting was good and music was great. I think a lot of poetic license was used to add to the drama of a two hour movie. For example Queen was not broken up when Live Aid was announced and they did not need a lot of rehearsing to do the show. But very good nonetheless for a Queen fan.

Great flick, felt like I read at the show during the concert scenes. got a little dusty in there during the live aid set.

I read that the live aid crowd was real footage with a few digital alterations to remove some banners etc |

Wow, saw it last night and we really liked it! Had some goosebumps moments for sure. Great acting, and music!

I'll always remember when I went to go see a Billy Squire concert and Queen was the other act. Never heard of them. Freddie and the group blew me away. I was hooked.

I thought this was about as good as a music career biopic could get. I'm so glad Ali G turned this role down. I'm also happy he forced the issue and told the band that their script wouldn't work. The film does really well showing Freddy in decadence but spares the audience from graphic depravity.

I think Sasha wouldn't have been right either, but you're backwards. he quit because Queen wanted THIS movie, not a more salacious one. |
At the theater waiting for it to start.

Well, that was awesome. Definitely lived up to expectations. Malek was amazing.
Didn't realize that Joe Mazzello was in it - he played John Deacon (bass player). Malek and Mazzello on the right: https://peoplesbalitashowbiz.files.w...0&h=768&crop=1 Malek and Mazzello as Snafu and Sledge in The Pacific: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/95/e1...d192d38177.jpg |
I saw Billy Squier in '82 and he was blown away by the opening act, but it was only Saga doing the World's Apart tour. I was suppose to see Queen in St. Petersburg at the Sunshine Speedway May14, 1975, but when I was getting ready to go they announced the concert was cancelled because the stage wasn't big enough and strong enough to support the band's equipment, per the Fire Marshall. Our local Tampa/St. Pete rock station played Queen's first album a lot, especially the song "Liar" so they would of had a good size crowd. I gave the movie 10 Stars!
