This has the chance to be fantastic or another ambitious swing and miss. I'm typically not a fan of bio-pics because you can't illustrate 30-80 years of a life in two hours or less without leaving out most of the real story. I thought that "Ray" and "Walk The Line" were two of the best because they dealt honestly with the subjects' failures and shortcomings. "I Feel Good" and everything on Lifetime and BET have been less than impressive, IMO.
I'm looking forward to this movie because Queen were one of the most unique bands ever and I hope it rises to the challenge. The movie that they're making about Elton John looks like it's going to lay an egg, though.
And there's a soundtrack album available from the movie as well:

The film was directed by a child molester, I wouldn't watch it just on that purpose.
Same here, and I'm pissed about it because this looks like its going to be so good. And I'm certain Rami Malek is going to make an excellent Freddie Mercury. But there is too much smoke around Bryan Singer for my comfort level.Quote:

I saw the movie the other day and thought it was really good.
I streamed it the other day as well, it is good. Probably will get a few nominations.Quote:

That said, I saw "Bohemian Rhapsody" on the big screen this past weekend and I was blown away. I had previously seen Rami Malek in the remake of "Papillon" and I foresee a fantastic film career for this actor.
How did you stream it? Where can I stream it?Quote:

Nile used a lot of drugs.......Quote:

It was also glossed over that Mercury was pretty much convinced by Michael Jackson to take a shot at the Disco charts...
I watched this on blu-ray last night and was extremely disappointed. Rami Malek's depiction of Freddie was utterly unconvincing and the whole treatment was extremely inaccurate and superficial. The only thing that saved this wig & teeth show was the amazing music.
