I do kind of wish they had stuck with the true history when it comes to when he was diagnosed with AIDS, breaking up the band, etc., but if their main goal was to just give people a way of understanding what Freddie was like, I think they did a fantastic job. And, as others have said in the thread, Rami's performance was fantastic. I also really liked how they blended in Freddie's vocals so seamlessly. I expected that to be more jarring, but you almost couldn't tell when it was Rami singing and when Freddie's voice came in. |

From what I've read, if they couldn't match Freddie's voice to the image they used the Canadian singer Mark Martel. He's the singer on the official Queen Extravaganza touring show. He's pretty good. I think Rami's voice was used only when he sang up close in the studio or in the alley audition, something like that.

Saw it last night. Great movie. Felt like it was more about FM than Queen. But that is ok.

Just saw the movie a little while ago. Came home in a much better mood than I left, it was a lot of fun.
Most everyone in the theater weren't born at the time of Live Aid, but pretty sure they experienced Freddie's charisma and the excitement of the music. Or so I like to think. I'm ready to quit my job and start a band. |

Finally saw this movie. Fantastic movie. Excellent writing, acting and direction. Avoided being cliche. Highly recommend.

I just came in from seeing it. I loved it! It was excellent! Some very funny lines too. I cried in the end though. Very sad.
What a BIG personality Mercury was. Had no idea his family were Indian and were Zoroastrian. Or about Mary Austin. |

Going to catch a nice buzz and take my firework girls to see this.They have yet to see it and are in their 20's,so I'm hoping it gives them a little appreciation of why the old man raves about certain music like I do.

I saw this Saturday night with Mrs. B. I thought it was terrific. I have several musical bio pics I like: Buddy Holly Story with Gary Busey, La Bamba with Lou Diamond Phillips, Ray with Jamie Foxx, Get on Up with Chadwick Boseman, and this one with Rami Malek. While I was watching the movie, I kept thinking about the guy cast as the bass player and kept thinking, "Where have I seen him?" He's Joe Mazzello from the WWII series "The Pacific." He played Sledgehammer, and Rami Malek was Snafu. So cool that they're in this film, with lead and supporting roles reversed this time. Also the guy who plays the EMI record exec who says Bohemian Rhapsody would never be a hit is Mike Meyers, who brought the song back to a new generation in Wayne's World. Also, the original director bailed out on the movie and the guy they brought in, Dexter Fletcher, played Sgt John Martin in the WWII series "Band of Brothers." I thought that was cool. Malek was unbelievable as Freddie. I think he deserves an oscar.
