I'm going tomorrow to see this, I'll let you know what I think after. I'm going with an open mind. Of course my friends want to go and are expecting me to be really excited. I'm not really excited, I'm a bit reticent, but we'll see....

I've seen it twice, soon to be three, and although the poetic license, inaccuracies, and outright fabrications substantially distract for the loyal royals, it's an enjoyable film. It is Brian and Roger's version of history, with Deaky's OK apparently. I liked it because BH gives some scope to the pathos of Freddie as a private man. It would be cool to see Rami go on stage as Freddie in the silver glitter leotard, if he gets to accept an Oscar. It would have been cool if Deaky attended the premiere, and kindly correct me if my facts are wrong. I got the impression that the narrative structure of the movie in some way mimics the structure of the title song. Lucy Boynton was totally fabulous and gave her role such depth and compassion. imho Mary ought to invite her to the mansion for a proper British tea -- Earl Gray Twinings, two sugars, milk. Gwylim really got Brian spot on. "Not the coffee machine!!" love it...Agree with Zebonka about the script, and change of directors midway through seemed to affect some of the dialogue. The ost shows the range of Freddie's styles in particular. I also like the fanfare from Brian and Roger. The movie portrays John as nearly mute and the script may have benefited from emphasizing Freddie and John's relationship. The genesis of the AOBTD riff, lack of more Japan tour scenes, South America -- but of course nothing on South Africa. The funny facial gestures from Joe M., and especially at Live Aid. All in all I had a really good time at the movies. The new version of Doin All Right can be played loud to great effect. And because of that, recently when I listen to Queen, so do the neighbors!!!

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. [/QUOTE]
I never said they came off totally clean. The point I'm making is that Freddie is portrayed the boozing, drug taking partier of the group whereas, aside from the odd glimpse of Roger's womanizing, the other three appear far more meek and mild towards drinking and partying.

You've actually contributed nothing in two posts. You've just decided run through the traditional boring keyboard warrior list of supposed insults, and that's about it. Is there more to you, your vocabulary and basic conversational comprehension or are you just that fucking boring?

" the other three appear far more meek and mild towards drinking and partying. "

the fact that the rest of the band had 3 or 4 line in the hole movie to make room for other shit. didn't hit your observation, did it?

I was thinking the same...The only thing they did positive for John was show he wrote Another One Bites The Dust...everything else looked like they were making him look like a nobody...I hope he's writing a book.

In that sense I wonder, but I was thinking even more on how Freddie was portrayed. I think it’s fair to say John and Freddie were closer than Brian/Roger are.
I wonder if he’s hurt with the portrayal during the 80’s “breaking up of the band” fable and the insults Freddie threw specifically to John during that fight. Even though I wasn’t there, I truly can’t imagine Freddie putting down John like that.

On point...that was low of them showing Freddie put down John In that way...Freddie always lifted John up and encouraged him too grow as a writer...Then praising him stating "his songs keep getting better and better" In the movie Freddie talks like John is a nobody. Not cool.

Screenplay is trash. Directing is mediocre. Highlight of acting is the good impersonation of May.
Overall, the movie is a tasteless bundle of crap sprinkled with glitter that can, and apparently did attract and daze masses.
congrats lol

You seem very upset at the fact that I'm new rather than trying to engage in any sort of rational conversation. Do you not like new people where you're from?

Right on Shvili.....and it felt incomplete. First indication of that was the computer rendered item (i think it was a Mic) blocking out presumably David Bowie in the opening scene. It seemed as if certain clearances weren't met and certain drafting was not done and that many scenes were cut. ....it was a mess of a film and left me wondering "THAT'S what they did with this film?'
High point: "Fred's ostensibly bitchy line "VILLAINY""
Low point: all that expository "dialogue" ....
"We're going to be the best the biggest we'll take chances do opera do classics ....we'll reach out to those nobodies in the back seats and tell them they're somebody!"
Etc.
