If you're not a fan of the film I wouldn't worry about it - you don't need to buy it, and nobody is demanding that you do. If you liked the film you can buy it. That's that.

Why on earth would anyone get excited about or want to see a recreation of Queen's performance at Live Aid, when you can watch the real thing? I don't understand how some fans are reacting to this film as though its as good as any of the many factual documentaries that have been made over the years.[/QUOTE]
Well, no one's saying the movie is brilliant. But the film is not so bad, could be better of course.
And no need to compare documentaries to feature films-they're different things, you know.
I doubt that there is any other Band which ist as much pointing out their "legany" as Queen is. So why are they mixing things that much up? We, as die hard Queen fans know the truth, but other people take the story in the movie for truth.

Exactamundo.
No better than watching an average tribute band (Queen+) and then telling all your friends that you've been to see Queen and forgetting to mention the plus bit.
Just a desperate attempt to get everyone to buy the Blu ray/dvd. I'm sure most people will buy it anyway. Utterly pointless extra.
