It was nice to hear Queen songs. Probably would have been better just to listen to an album.
This was really the Freddie Mercury story not the story of the band. Brian May, John Deacon, and Roger Taylor just seem to be afterthoughts or even bit players in the story of Queen.
It was a very choppy narrative. Here's how we got the name Queen. Here's how he became Freddie Mercury. Here's how the band got together. Here's why we wrote We will rock you. There wasn't a lot of flow to the story. Just a bunch of snippets of how things happened.
I think it really got going towards the end when Mercury's life is in crisis and the band is breaking up and they are getting ready for Live-Aid. But it still felt lumpy.
And why be proud about a complete recreation of the Live Aid set? Why not just show the original with the actual Freddie Mercury? Another question I kept asking was Rami Malek who plays Mercury a great actor or just a great imitator? Or is there a difference? I'm thinking this story would be better served as a documentary rather than a dramatic movie.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
