No fun allowed. Every time you notice something's off, scream at the top of your lungs.

Stand up and shout "Khannnn!" in the middle of the movie. That will confused everyone.

Every time there's an error, shout 'dee doh day day'. Every third error shout 'I don't have no time for this monkey business!'

Haha, well I enjoyed the film! I know artistic liberties were taken, but it makes the story work. Overall, I'm relieved and happy with it. They, especially Malek, did Freddie justice.

I just saw the film - indeed the casual fan and the fan who has read at least 4 different biographies and countless articles on Queen has drastically different reviews. I must say while there were liberties that I found hard to believe (Jim Hutton as a waiter, AIDS before Live Aid, etc.) it was an enjoyable movie nonetheless. Rami Malek was great.

Saw the movie.
Regret to say,but it was bad. ..daytime soap-opera bad.
Guarantee, Malek is not getting nominated for anything. He was laughable as Freddie.
I'd suggest waiting till it's streaming on Netflix, which shouldn't take that long considering the poor quality.

I’m excited about seeing the movie tomorrow.
I’m just going to enjoy it for what it is.
I wanted to mention how impressed I am with Rami Malek just based on all the interviews and clips. I like the way he sometimes refers to Freddie as if he is still alive. It is touching.

Rami was ok but way off awards. The movie was a retribution of Brian may and his jealousy towards freddie. He came across as inscure, non reliable dick., And for the scene where he is begging them to get his job back Brian should be punished.

Most die hards hate the movie, but causal fans seem to like it...I know I would have done it different, but I'll still watch it, and hoping It does well at the box office. It's good seeing Queen getting so much attention again..Just wish the movie was brilliant.

I agree with an earlier comment that the film would have made a better tv series. They were never going to be able to cram everything into a two hour film.
The actor playing deaky had a great look and sound to his voice but alot of his stage moves were cringeworthy.

Now, I have a deep-seated HATRED for the Daily Mail, but this is funny:

Most fans are casual fans. Brian and Roger don't care about so-called die-hards. They've gotten our money and plenty of us will still give them money even if they made a 60 minute video of Adam Lamberace taking a shit if it had Queen music as a soundtrack.
Brian and Roger have been all about new money and new fans and re-writing history for nearly two decades to these newer fans. It'll work too. The general public/surface fans will have the Brian/Roger version of events but thank goodness for the critical thinkers who will preserve the truth even if it takes effort to find it. It's only entertainment in the end. They don't owe fans anything. Yeah it'd be cool even this was a fan-friendly band but it's not. Hey no one forced anyone to patronize the band for it's goods. I've been satisfactorily amused and entertained. I've gotten more than my money's worth because the band is just extraordinarily great.
While I'm annoyed about what these two clowns have done to their legacy and how they used Lamberace and this flick as opportunities to elevate themselves at the expense of Freddie it really has nothing to do with all the genuine Queen albums and video I enjoy. This movie just won't be an addition to my collection. The movie is for the easily-impressed and the quick to forgive crowd. I will not begrudgingly go and support this thing just because. I can't come up with a good reason to go see it. I've seen and read more than enough to know it's the kind of simplistic, MOR drivel I don't enjoy no matter what it's about. It's clear the recreated performances are the only true special thing the film has but I have the far superior originals so...hey maybe when it's on Netflix or something i'll watch it but I'm in no rush.
QUEEN FOREVER (oh because of recent events I have to define Queen. Queen is Freddie Mercury/John Deacon/Brian May/Roger Taylor ONLY)

You’re confusing Brian (who was jointly responsible for the soundtrack) with the director, writer script editor and producer, who were the people responsible for the film). Is it the make up artist’s fault that the costumes weren’t truly accurate?
