We don't know how the movie will play out, of course.
So why try and censor negative interpretations of what we have seen so far?
It's good to have a discussion, isn't it?
(I don't know what has come over me today! - You should see my postings on Queen On-line!)
It's not about censoring. It's about not insulting Brian and Roger and making wild claims like it's certain that they've done this or that.
One could very well see the last person to post on a certain thread was runner_70, hit "reply" and go "Oh, this idiot again, there comes more Q+ bashing" without even reading his post, and maybe, just maybe, that one time he wasn't talking about Q+.

It seems to me that Voice is supporting Happystar's right to have an opinion.
Maybe Happystar's interpretations can be considered "negative", and Voice is asking people not to censor Happystar.
As for me, I am only concerned about Brian's line in the movie that encourages other band members to be more creative. However, Freddie did not need the encouragement in my opinion. The Fairy Feller Masterstroke has a freaking harpsichord ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=322KWlXv02k
I am no longer outraged that Fat Bottomed Girls appeared in a phony 1974 set list. It is certainly better than "Jesus" or "Someday, One Day" being played at the beginning of the movie and half of the "common-folk" at the theatre walking out 10 minutes into the movie mumbling "WTF".

I mentioned that earlier that it worries me....Not only the Black Side, but My Fairy King was Freddie thinking outside of the box more than the others. I hope Brian doesn't rewrite history here. Smile were a basic blues Rock band that everyone was doing at that time...Freddie came in with a different vision. Do you not agree?
Someone said we have to wait to see the movie before we can criticise it, yet we can praise the movie before seeing it.
That's what I was trying to draw attention to.
It's about wordsmithing, I guess. One thing is to say it looks like it's gonna be good or bad. Another thing is to make solid assumptions based on vague clues and guesswork and from there on spread the word that Brian and Roger are doing this or that and insulting them over it.
People got so used to say pretty much anything to insult one another on the internet they seem to have forgotten how serious it is to go around throwing accusations with no solid evidence.
And all of that can be avoided by literally waiting a couple of months and watching the movie. It isn't difficult to limit ourselves to "this and that scene on the trailer look great" or "this little thing looks like they're belittling Freddie" and how our "they're definitely painting Freddie as a Joe Nobody because mean old Brian who's never contributed jack shit to the band's legacy is dead jealous of him!" until the movie is out.
It also amazes me how people are so quick to remind us that this is QUEENzone and moan that people enjoying post-Freddie projects are "disrespecting" him or his legacy, or even John Deacon, yet those same people seem to have no trouble insulting the other half of the band in pretty much every thread they join. As far as I know, Brian and Roger are QUEEN too.
You're right! Besides a few worries the movie looks good in my opinion. Bring on November 2nd...and Brian should show how Important he and roger/John were. I also think they get lost in the whole thing at times, as long they do it the right way....we'll see in a few months.
I agree (at least partially) that all of this topic's posts in the last 24 hours have been insightful and enjoyable. However I am too tired to try to explain my vague opinion. Maybe tomorrow ...
This is going to be a historically accurate movie. Therefore, I think they're looking at the TARDIS, wondering how it can be bigger on the inside than the outside.
Now that we've heard all four band members speak, I have to say I'm very impressed by the actors for Brian, Freddie and John. Their body language and accents are very good. Judging from the short clips we've seen, I think Roger is the least convincing, but still good.
