That's an incredible story,I mean at that time frame of popularity Queen was no doubt the headliner.

I assumed MahiMike must have been pretty young at the time for him to know Billy Squire, but not Queen.

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.

Yeah, I agree. I'm kind of puzzled by the criticism I'm reading from some (not here necessarily) that it didn't go far enough into the darker side of his life. I guess I don't feel the need to know all about the details of Freddie's life of "sex, drugs, and rock and roll."

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.

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).

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!

I'd wager that Malek wins best actor and Lady Ga Ga wins best actress. She was amazing in A Star Is Born.

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.
