When Mercury's increasingly wild lifestyle starts to spiral out of control, Queen soon faces its greatest challenge yet – finding a way to keep the band together amid the success and excess.

"How many times do we need to teach you this lesson, old man?"
Abominable. Chickenshit exploitation of queerness and public persona, in addition to being formally inept. Every single element of this movie is subpar, lacking in nuance and a solid foundation of existence. All of the reaction shots are gold - everyone is lost: in geography, character motivation, respect of authenticity or even some semblance of cinematic coherence. Nothing is even remotely aware of its functionality. The film is honestly surreal in its dumpster fire hubris. Rami Malek's prosthetic teeth have an agenda of their own, I swear. I would say this is like a modern SNL sketch, but at least they're trying. The fake wigs and cheap…
maybe movies were a mistake. one of the most astonishing, eccentric performers of all time and this is the insipid, formulaic garbage you give him? any interest in the nuances and artistry of queen takes a backseat to making their lives and works fit into a Greatest Hits rise and fall biopic; watch as a painfully self-conscious performance stumbles through a barely dramatized wikipedia overview in between montages of songs you like being simplified into little digestible, lowest-common-denominator origin stories everyone can pat themselves on the back for knowing. are we so far removed from Walk Hard that people once again buy these clichés that were tired even before the mid-2000s? we're talking about a movie that opens on the "cough…
Everything you need to know about “Bohemian Rhapsody” — a broad, frivolous, and uselessly formulaic biopic about an inimitable band of misfits — can be surmised from a graphic that gets plastered across the screen in big letters when Queen embarks on their first American tour: “Midwest USA.” Not “Cleveland,” or “Detroit,” or “Kansas City,” but just “Midwest USA.” There’s not even a comma. That’s the degree of specificity in play here.
If not for Rami Malek’s feral posturing as one of rock history’s greatest frontmen, a deep roster of killer songs, and the long shadow of his band’s iconic 1985 performance at Live Aid, this movie could effectively be about any musicians, at any time, rolling through any part…
almost knocked it down half a star cause they didn't include when roger taylor locked himself in a cupboard until freddie mercury agreed to make "i'm in love with my car" the b-side
I can't believe they made a remake of Walk Hard but left out all the jokes.
best picture showcase: film #3
“don’t you see what you could be?”
the only allure here for me is that queen’s music is pretty good, and it also acts as the glue that haphazardly holds it all together. the first time i saw it i was charmed by the musical scenes (and also had no idea about the numerous controversies the film has surrounding it like a wasp hive), but over time i realized this has almost nothing else of value or substance to offer: the dialogue is cheap and fake, the plot is so poorly paced and the editing is incredibly embarrassing when focused in on. you can easily guess that members of queen had a part to play…
Hm. It wasn’t....HORRIBLE. But yeah. From my general knowledge of Freddie, as well as what this movie is saying, he was the epitome of pushing boundaries and thinking outside the box and this movie is literally the fucking box. Straight Outta Compton and this felt so similar in how they were shot and told and they are about two COMPLETELY different groups. That’s an issue. Everything besides Rami’s performance and the cinematography was just okay. That being said it was watchable and I guess I did stay entertained throughout it’s entirety. But when you look at what exactly this film means and the man it surrounds...Freddie deserves better, or maybe nobody should make anything about him in general being how unique his approach is. Also how is nobody talking about the GOD awful editing. It was like an Edgar Wright film that wasn’t paced well or cut right which is THE WORST POSSIBLE THING.
is this the real life?
is this just blasphemy?
and by a landslide,
worst film in eternity...
close your eyes
or look up to some other screeeeeen
it's just a poor movie, it needs no sympathy
because it's poorly paced, poorly done
lots of lows, zero fun
any way his teeth grow, doesn't really matter to me...
fuck this movieeeee
(yes the rumors are true i fell asleep during the live aid sequence because this was the worst movie of the year)
We could talk all day about how this represents or fails to represent Mercury's queerness, the desperate biopic formula, the factual inaccuracies, the general not-enoughness of great Queen songs, Malek's impersonation-not-performance. It's a bad movie for a lot of reasons but the biggest reason of all is no FLASH GORDON, like zero. I mean what the actual fuck.
