In the movie, "he" is so serious - almost boring (what happend to Never make me boring?).

The biggest mistake, I think, is that there are almost only milestones, not many small situations with normal conversations...

The movie wasn't about Freddie. The movie was about how Freddie joined Brian's brilliant band and how Brian worked quietly in the background to mastermind queens success while Freddie basked in the glory, did drugs, got drunk and started fights.

Sacha Baron Cohen wanted to make a film about Freddie, and he got fired by Brian. I think that says it all.

Also let's not forget that Brian wanted Freddie to die in the middle of the movie and he wanted the second half to be about how the band went from strength to strength with Brian at the helm. Presumably most of the second half was going to feature Adam Lambert.

Whoever managed to talk him out of it is a bloody genius of persuasion. That's for sure.

Brian and Roger would've had very little say on the movie content. It was down to the film companies to do it.

At the end of the day, Brian and Roger signed off the movie as did John and Mary Austin - if they hadn't then the movie won't've been released.

Just accept that the "movie" not the "documentary" got released to your disliking and there's nothing you can do about it.

It's clear that you are Freddie fan and in no way a Queen fan because I've never heard you say anything negative about Freddie or anything positive about the other Queen members.

Yeah, right . The movie companies wanted to make Freddie looks like a bumbling idiot while glorifying Brian. They also for some reason wanted to make a movie about Freddie where Freddie only features for half the movie and then it's about how Brian continues to mastermind queens success without Freddie.

How stupid can you people get?

Did Sacha Baron Cohen leave because of differences with Brian....this is what I picked up from the media

Is Jim Beach a producer on the film?

It looks like the remaining Queen organisation had at least had a veto or influence on the content.

According to Cohen he left because a certain band member (Brian May) did not like the amount of focus Cohen wanted on Freddie to the detriment of the other band members.

And yes, Brian and Roger, had veto. More than that they had input into the content of the movie and the general direction of the movie.

The movie is bad and his character is not done well, looks like some caricature.

@Invisible Woman I agree they poke fun at Freddie with the way they used the teeth and the way Rami Malek pouts trying to get his mouth over the teeth,
all very rude and nasty and to be honest it looked more like Mick Jagger than our Freddie.

Everyone to there own opinions then yeah !
