"Fuck you all the way to the bank"? A few Weeks ago May told the press that they had not seen one $ in return from the movie. Damn hippocrite. MAylor have become the Simmons/Stanley of Queen. But those two at least don't hide that they are money hungry. Maylor have desecrated the Queen legay with this atrocious movie and with this tool on the microphone with whom they pretend that they are still "Queen" which they are clearly NOT!
The movie was successful because of the great music ONLY. It was full of lies and whitewashed May and Taylor. May has a huge ego problem since day one and he was always jealous of Freddie. I think he got off on that scene where the movie-Freddie is begging him to get back into the band. I hated this film and this scene especially! And I am a Queen fan since 1980.
Roger has become as annoying like his guitar playing sidekick. A real grumpy arrogant twat

If your mega rich it makes sense to play down your wealth otherwise you would have people asking you for money all the time.
Like what if someone who works for the band ask them for a "loan" for 10k. How could they say no when 10k is nothing to them.
It would be like 10 pounds or 10 penny's to a normal person.

"Roger has become as annoying like his guitar playing sidekick"
Who on earth is this?
Secondly, I recall Roger's Fun In Space album had some reference to "if you don't like this album, sod you" while Freddie dedicated his solo album to his cats. So I don't think Brian has sole right to 'arrogance'. Brian and Roger have been involved in Rock scene for well over 50 years. Let them enjoy the ride. Roger has never hinted at any reluctance to to bathe in the rock star lifestyle, so I see no hypocrisy.

I think Peter Hince has said it... it’s Hollywood entertainment. It was so easy to get the stage right but they screwed it. Wrong piano, deacon guitars, deacon amps, drumkit. Pfff

I would expect that Roger is referring to the amount of money that the movie grossed rather than money he himself has (or hasn't) earned from it.

Queen has always been loud and proud, I'm not sure why this is continuing a shock to some fans.

@Theaterpup - I have seen your name in several queen and queen related you tube videos, in the comments section. Are you the same person?
Welcome to QZ.

The movie sucked @$$ and Rami's portrayal was borderline comical... but there were like 2 good dramatic scenes. The wigs and props were pretty bad though... never mind the completely changed story/scenario. They don't even show how hard the band worked.
Freddie as a tone deaf... "higher! higher!" (louder isn't higher, nor is it a pitch.) God, that movie stunk. I was expecting it to be campy bad.... Aww... why'd you remind me of the movie again? LOL

@Queen Fan MS Oh yes that's me, lol. Thanks!
@matt z They're not saying he's tone deaf, they're saying he's a perfectionist. And the audience isn't thinking about whether it's louder or higher, it works because audiences have always wondered what the heck the song was about, it's funny to see the band doing it too. A lot of the movie is like that, appealing to the public's shared impression of Queen over the years. That's why it was so successful.

It was the biggest shit I ever saw in a theater. And I watched it two times with friends because I already had tickets (once the original version and then the german version). Hated both with passion. Worst thing was that everyone seemed to like it and cheered after the movie. A real WTF moment after Freddie was humiliated in this crap flick. EVen worse than QAL and that says something

I do not think ANYONE saw Freddie as an unreliable prick always late in the studio begging Saint Brian to get back into the band. NEVER!

@runner_70 Here's something I've been curious about: If you think the depiction of Freddie was so unflattering, then what exactly is your impression of people who did like the movie? Do they enjoy seeing Freddie look bad? Do you think they just don't get it somehow?

I actually liked the movie for its unintentional comedy.
Of course a movie primarily pushed by Brian is going to have a virtual clone playing him on the screen, but Freddie gets a guy that looks like he just got stuck with the virus from Resident Evil.
