inaccuracies aside, did you find the movie interesting

it bored me to death but to each their own

i forgot to specify im talking about bohemian rhapsody lol

No, not really but not for the same reason as you.

No I didn't like the movie...

I loved it.

I watched it quite objectively (as you can see in my live commentary thread) and largely disliked it. Some bits were good, others terrible. Some of the inaccuracies 'worked' for the sake of narrative so I was OK with them. I can see why the casual punter would like it but all the praise it's got has pushed me further and further away from the good will I had when first watching it.

Apart from money, I just don't know why it was made, and at the core of my thoughts, why it was made so badly.

I can understand why it was made and the fact that it's brought in a WHOLE NEW GENERATION who are now all over youtube etc enjoying Queen music and making adorable noises for Fred is A Good Thing.

But the movie was kinda boring and all the lies bugged me no end.

Full disclosure: I only saw it on my xfinity app. Didn't want to go to the theaters for it, BUT I'm thinking I just might before it completely goes away. Just not sure it's worth it.

I'm glad I've seen it, but I don't think I will ever watch it again. Take it as you will. But thanks to the movie so many TV stations have opened their archives last year, so...

"WHOLE NEW GENERATION who are now all over youtube etc enjoying Queen music and making adorable noises for Fred is A Good Thing."

I think that's where we differ. This place has definitely dipped significantly since the newbies came along. That's not me being a snob because I'm probably the worst poster on here anyway.

I like the movie a lot and love many of it's subproducts and the attention it brought to the band.

I have "only" watched it 8 times up to now, due to lack of available time, unfortunately. I just bought the Blu-ray, so I hope to see more of it. My kids love it, by the way, and that is priceless.

Me and my whole family went to the opening night, as well as some friends and their families. A historical family moment, with a great cover band playing a full gig in the theater hall afterwards. Did I mention the vocalist was a childhood friend of mine? You get the picture. The second time I watched it my kids went again and also both my parents. How about that?

On the musical side, the opening Fox Fanfare by Brian and Roger is fantastic and I was very emotional when I first heard it. The Smile + Queen version of Doing Alright is fine and I am really glad that Brian and Roger still bother to record together. I don't care about the new Don't Stop me Now version, but, still, if that is what moves them to record in a studio, bless them. The surround sound of the songs and of the movie is overall fantastic and warrants as many trips as I am able to make to the movie theater. And what about them opening the Oscars?!?! Wow. Wow.

Watching it on planes and seeing most people doing the same is also something I am going to treasure for a long time.

Cheers,

You will treasure the memory of people watching the film on aeroplanes?

FML

Well, yes! LOL

i thought the movie was full of straight washing and toxic masculinity

TOXIC MASCULINITY??

You mean, the kind that makes babies?

It annoys me how Roger keeps his 70's hairstyle during the whole movie.

Also on the LP picture sleeve of the BR soundtrack, there is an 80's picture of each bandmember. Only Rogers picture is from the 70's....
