'Bohemian Rhapsody' movie reviews & impressions

I enjoyed the movie for what it was; a semi-biographical piece that wanted to be a blockbuster movie rather than the factual story it promised to be. There are a lot of things that are incredibly wrong with the movie, fortunately, I don't have enough patience to sit here and write an essay, but I'll address my biggest gripes.

I'll never really understand why they depicted the group as four people who didn't really like each other but decided to make music together. Freddie and Roger's friendship is nonexistent in the film and that's incredibly disappointing, to be honest. If not that then they could have shown the relationship between Freddie and John. Speaking of John, the fact that he barely had any impact at all in the movie seems like a big ''screw you, John'' from May and Taylor.

Changing WWRY's timeline and ignoring the fact that Taylor went solo first also left me squinting in disbelief. However, what annoyed me the most was how they wanted to portray Freddie as the only one living a particular lifestyle. It's very evident that May and Taylor wanted to preserve an image of themselves, of sorts.

Nevertheless, I have seen it twice (once on the opening day and the other with the Mrs) and, as I said, enjoyed it for what it was.

Yup, You summed It up nicely.

Let’s put in this way. What was Freddie unforgivably guilty of? The lost for Queen of their US status and market. Why did this happen in the band’s opinion? Because of Freddie’s sexual misconduct and bad advisers. When did the band regain fame and respect in the U.S.A.? The first step happened by chance when B.R. was featured in a scene of Wayne's World (1992). Since then, the Queen’s legacy (!) has been remastered for two decades And so,what a better occasion than this biopic to clean up worldwide the band’s image and get it ready to be consumed by all kinds of audience as just a fancy and creative pop group with a legendary (ok) frontman and singer but considered as a very nasty boy even by his own band mates? And what a better revenge on Freddie’s leadership then a product which, not featuring the eccentricity of the Queen’s magic, has grossed only in the U.S. nearly 100 million dollars in one week! But beware my friends: NO SEX, NO HUMOR, NO PARTIES!

I actually thought The I'm In Love With My Car bit was funny....Had some Humor, and the partying scene was in the movie...Did you want all drugs and sex without any music?..If any member was disrespected In this film It was John...He got no love here..Even Roger has no personality In the movie...On the other hand, they were on point with Brian..

They should have shown the 'bromance' between Roger and Freddie at the very least.

Maybe you should tell us what kind of particular depraving lifestyle had the rest of the band?
Or you or just talking stupid shit...

Allegedly ...

John photographed with stripper doing a lap dance and bought her a Mercedes.

Roger dumped his girlfriend when she got breast cancer.

Brian bedding a subordinate of QP and breaking up her marriage.

Good Job! None of them were perfect.

>>And Freddie is the bad Guy (no pun intended!)

Considering that Freddie's dealing with accusations was usually self-mockery in songs/in concerts/interviews, may be the song Mr Bad Guy and its irony is the perfect explanation of the band's inner dynamics during the time)))

GREAT POINT !!!

Mr. Bad Guy may have been conceived just a moment before he was definitely aware of his HIV-positive condition. The next step was, instead, the Great Pretender. What a true creative diary of his own life story !

I mean, if you actually believe that the rest of the band remained mild-mannered and scarcely partook in getting shitfaced/joining in parties etc (as is the case in the movie) then you're either naive or incredibly dense.

The movie does seem pretty clear on Roger being very much a ladies man and not necessarily a good husband. He's definitely the fall guy in a few scenes, so I don't think you can say they all come off as totally clean.

I finally seen the movie for the first time tonight! Overall,I must admit I enjoyed it,although some of the innacuracies made me want to stand up and address the rest of the audience like a teacher addressing their class with a pointer,and say "what actually happened was..."!! I had to bite my tongue several times! But overall I thought it was good. The film has however left me with an overwhelming urge to invent a time machine,travel back to the late '70s,and strangle Paul Prenter.
