Clearly, he thought the whole thing was schlock.
I don't disagree with him, but I still enjoyed it.

Me too, I agree with him and all his points, but I liked It more than he did.

Even though Freddie Mack comes across a little excessively cool, I value his comments. He is probably „a little“ biased, but his critic does not give any hints of him being snotty. If it is true (and it seems like it) that most of the input for the script came from May, than my suspicions of him having become increasingly angry grow even wider. Why would anyone even consider to re-write his or hers own history? It's a daring imposition. But if your history frustrates you, you might feel the necessity to do just that. FM had been the most important driving force in Queen. Period. May, Taylor and John Deacon have had their muso-/songwriting-moments in Queen, but FM sold the show. I couldn't believe the bullshit they have attached to his story. Him presenting Hutton to his parents in that way... that could have only come from a straight person. Trying to normalize Freddie is like trying to make sense of Donald Trump - it just doesn't work. But obviously it pays off again and again and again...

Freddie Mack didn’t have any contact to Brian, Roger or even his other godfather John since he had been a little kid. He said so in an interview, that he gave to the German press, when he moved back from LA and rebuilt his band here a few years ago.
He’s known as Freddie’s godson to a good deal of rock fans over here. That’s why some people go and ask him about things related to Queen. And he really likes to talk about it.
But his opinion about the film is as valid as anyone else’s. He has no insider knowledge about how the script came together or how much input Brian or Roger had. It’s his personal opinion. And of course that’s biased. And that’s ok.
Fans should just keep in mind, that Freddie Mack doesn’t know more about the film, than anyone of us.
He’s just one of those people, who simply don’t like, that Brian and Roger carry on working under the name of Queen at all. He stated that a few years ago in that interview.

At least one of John's children loved the movie, according to his Facebook post. He also approves of Q+AL.

Kinda wanted to avoid all things related to the film until it dropped off because, hell...even if the film is an amateurish wank shit......at least it's bringing *SOME* Queen music to the fore.
I didn't emote quite as much as he does here, but the flick was clearly a sloppy mess. I read posted rumors (its the net, obv could be bullshit) that the budget was spent.
The film shoot wrapped
And
The rushes were bad
But the notion was it either gets released or canned.
I'm as shocked as some that it succeeded. It was pretty haphazard and the script was by far the worst I've heard since an Ed Wood flick or a film deliberately trying to be "odd"
Thanks, Freddie Mack.
I'd totally forgotten about the name. I was shocked to have even seen MACK in the credits because I was hoping to see him.
However....with a large budget it really seemed as if nobody thought to do ANY location shooting and that everything involving the band was relegated to SELF PRONOUNCING STATEMENTSA *in the same fucking office.
I'm glad someone else recognized how poor a film it really is/was.
Amateur stuff. Plot and character wise, I DO feel bad that I didn't take the lack of emotional weight as homophobic. ....but the STRUCTURE truly was.
It denied Jim's place in his life. But as a viewer on an early Sunday, I was just USED TO IT by that point that the film was a mess.
This is why I didn't talk trash about TCR much either until many months later.
Who knows what is ultimately the truth. But it is a truly IDIOTIC film.

Succeeded Is an understatement, It's breaking records...Good film or not.

While I agree with most of the review, in the end it's a movie, not a biography, so I don't expect it to be accurate, it has to be entertaining.

QPL urgently need to pay him and then he will start to talk differently.

Nah. People who knew Freddie speak up regardless, out of a loyalty and HONESTY. (Which the films does not have)
There are few merits to the crap film
