This movie is spectacular! It gave me a whole new appreciation for Queen and for Freddie Mercury. The acting and singing were perfect.

I felt that the movie could have been "gayer" if that makes sense. Haha. Also, I don't believe that Freddy leaving the band created such a volatile relationship between him and the bandmates. They were actually happy for him and supported him throughout his career.

Wonderful movie!
Rami Malek was incredible as Freddy, it is so good to watch actore perform with this versatility. I think he deserved the Oscars.

I loved the movie! I didn’t really know much about Queen before I watched it (save for Bohemian Rhapsody, of course) and it gave me a new appreciation for the band. It was really inspirational, showing that you don’t need to fit into a mold to succeed.

I loved it, not necessarily the best, A couple of issues here and there, but characters, themes, and directing cinematography were great as hell

I loved the movie, but it felt nothing like the OG Freddie Mercury - the energy and charisma he brought to his performances seem unmatched, though I've only seen videos of those too.
