Brian's ego is painfully obvious through the script. Roger comes off as an arse. John is made to seem like an absolute nobody. Freddie is disrespected by implying he "begged" the band to take him back after the "failure" that was Mr Bad Guy.[/QUOTE]
I have seen a lot of reviews on QZ with this theme.
I would have liked to have seen this movie, but it seems it is not worth the aggravation.

Until this time, i admired the band which was known around the world, yet was never mainstream. Now, after this crap movie is braking movie viewing charts all has changed. You can stick the spice girls version of Queen up your ass. Thank you for all the great music and joy you've brought us, but i for one am out. Enjoy few extra millions Brain and Roger.

Truly amazing how Facebook everyone loves the movie, I come on Queenzone 95% Of fans hate it...By the way, I was the first too mention how this movie disrespects John...nice seeing others noticed that as well...Freddie and John were pretty close, Freddie taking him under his wing, but you would never know that after watching this film. John gets the basement. Still, some good bits in this movie If you don't take It so seriously.

The misinformation is spreading already due to the movie. Now people assume Freddie didn't know Roger and Brian until after Tim quit the band.
"One night in the early 1970s he stumbled into a conversation with the members of the unknown rock band Queen just after their lead singer left the group."
Jesus Christ.
Freddie is the one who came up with the damn name!
Also, that article makes it sound like they made Bohemian Rhapsody immediately after their first album.
Oh, and it also claims that Freddie married Mary Austin.
"Singer also gets fine performances from Lucy Boynton as Freddie’s wife Mary, Allen Leech as male lover Paul and Gwilym Lee, Ben Hardy and Joe Mazzello as Queen’s other band members."
Queen's other band members have names, you know.
Boy, what an awful article. Just dreadful.

Oh, jeez, and also Paul wasn't Freddie's lover. Missed that one.
What a load of crap.
"Bruce Chadwick lectures on history and film at Rutgers University in New Jersey. He also teaches writing at New Jersey City University. He holds his PhD from Rutgers and was a former editor for the New York Daily News."
What in the everloving fuck? Is this a joke? There's no way that article was written by someone with those credentials. It reads like a fourth grader's book report. What is going on here?

It's common in many articles right now.

"He falls in love with a young woman and marries her. He is then attracted to men, lots of them. It breaks up the marriage. He can’t let his wife go, though, and has her move into a mansion next door to his mansion. One of his male lovers moves in with him and ruins his career by keeping him way from his friends and getting him to leave the band."
"The movie is a primer in music history of the ‘70s and ‘80s. You learn a great deal about how the music business worked then. I loved the story of the secret deal in which an American music company stole Freddie away from the band."
East coast American journalism at its finest ...

The audience i saw it with laughed a lot. I had intended on taping the entire thing to figure out my take on the Freddie versus Marc Martel thing. (*it's clearly Marc in damn near everything except the bbc stuff and the obvious). There's one where Freddie's voice is spliced in as a double mix until a bit later. I forget which live song it was.
It was mixed badly though and sounded crappy for that splice.
I don't think my recorder caught it.
The fabrication of non TRIDENT recording sessions on down time was a huge disservice to their credit and character. It never seemed like QUEEN of the film ever got and CLIMBING going on and very much of their performance was downplayed. (Maybe for the better. Some of their moves were terrible)
I never thought it came off as anti Homo. .. it is just that very many of the rifts and troubles the band THOSE GUYS THAT BARELY GET TIME were never mentioned they were largely omitted and it seemed like this makes the others character better ... i disagree i just think it was a poorly written script
They were all admittedly fucked up in Munich. The script is bad and avoids the band's pitfall for a cheap substitute

This forum has so much hate for what is supposed to be our favourite band. (Or one of... for the pedants). It's a good job there was no internet when Hot Space came out. Seriously some people need to take a chill pill. To misquote Freddie... It's only a bloody movie.
Queen are going to sell a shitload more albums, downloads or whatever the kids are doing these days because of this film. And that's a good thing.
Some people will join this forum because they enjoyed the movie and want to find out more... I pity those poor bastards.. they're really gonna suffer on here.

I love Hot Space more than any album Queen did in the 70’s.
