Is anyome interested in this movie?
I never was a huge Queen fan, but I think this one could be a lot of fun.

Seeing it this weekend. The critics say that the guy playing Freddie does a really good job. Hopefully the movie will be as good as the trailer makes it out to be.

Is this:
Gay Out of Compton?
Instead of STRAIGHT Out of Compton
I enjoy some Queen music and love Freddie Mercury's voice. But, I have no interest in the movie. Maybe some buzz will get me to check it out. Likely, not.

I love biopics but was discouraged at the PG-13 rating as I don’t think these types of movies could be good under those restrictions. I don’t understand the need to make a movie like this family friendly, when people 25 and under don’t know who the hell this is
That being said, I will absolutely Hulu this in about a year

for years Sacha Baron Cohen tried to make a Queen movie with himself starring as Freddie. it would have been a real deal, heavy biopic. drugs, orgies, sexual identity issues, ect.. but the band hated it and felt the movie should focus more on how they carried on after freddies death.
so i can only assume this movie is prob a lazy puff piece.

How y’all was Freddy? The guy plying him looks scrawny but pics and vids of the freak Freddy makes him look over 6 feet.

I was interested and I think Rami Malek was a good choice, and reports are that he was really good
But after seeing the trailers its looking like a movie ill just rent on demand a few months from now

I have no urge to see this movie. It looks like they just made a 2 hour montage of his most iconic moments.

My prediction is that no matter what faults the film has, there will be people claiming that Borat would've done the exact opposite.
We're looking forward to it. Tickets for tomorrow night in hand.

Holy hell. Just got out.
If there's a better movie in 2018, I don't know what it would be.

Man, I remember where I was when they performed at Rite Aid.

Funny how the tide has turned. A truly awesome movie in A Star is Born was in the middle of its run and people were looking a month ahead to this fluff piece.

Very good to almost great movie. I can see Malek getting an Oscar nom. Some layers of cheese but they didn’t pull many punches when it came to Mercury. The band comes off pretty sympathetic. Mercury is by far the main focus.
The singing and lip syncing were amazing. Great work by Malek and the editors.
None of Ali G’s dire predictions came to pass.
Some tweaks in the timeline for dramatic effect as is usually the case with biopics. It doesn’t pull you out of the movie.
The music was, of course, fantastic.

I enjoyed the movie. Like I always do, I go back and read up on the real story of the subjects.
The main thing I picked up is that Brian May is a genius. He give a really good interview.

Never a queen fan, but movie was solid. Enjoyed it

I haven’t read this thread but I came to say that anyone who misses the chance to hear Queen in the theatre is making a big mistake. The movie was somber and a bit depressing, but worth it to hear and see those performances. I had chills and goosebumps multiple times.

Saw it last night and I loved it. Singer did a great job directing the scenes about the creation of some of the iconic songs. My observations:
--Loved the reference to the tape almost being literally worn out from the overdubs on BR
--when they get back together in Miami's office, Freddie says "I need you and you need me". That would be eye-rolling cheese wrt to almost any other band. But I LOVED the movie made subtle reference to the fact that all 4 members WROTE a #1! That is why they are arguably the GOAT.
--the father wasn't made into a cardboard cutout of a needless foil (they unfortunately did this - ahistorically - to JR Cash's dad in Walk the Line)
--the final scene when they walk off the stage at Wembley - shown from the perspective of the drummer - which goes into slo mo just gave me chills for some reason. I think it was the look on Freddie's face
--I understand the narrative choice to frame the movie as a lead up to Live Aid, but I actually was hoping it would carry into 1990 when they recorded Innuendo and he was on his last leg. They at least gave a hat tip to this by playing The Show Must Go On right at the end.
--It was unbelievable to me how much May and Mercury actors looked like the real thing - especially May. The kid from Jurassic Park and The Pacific was awesome as Deacon as well
--Loved the We Will Rock You composition scene. That percussion riff is such an embedded part of life, that it blows one's mind to realize they actually had to conceive of it and write it!

Loved it because I love Queen. The people who hate it hate it mostly because it doesn’t go deeper into Freddie’s personal life, as if his privacy is their toy to play with in movies. Pish posh; Queen will rock.

Saw the movie. I’m not a huge Queen or Freddy fan but I have enjoyed their music and still do.
The best thing about the movie for me was that even though it was nearly a biographical movie and I knew where it was heading, it never got slow at any point of the 2 hours.
I don’t have a major sound system at home so I enjoyed the theater sound experience for the musical performances.
While the wildness was obviously toned down for a broader audience, you still got a good feel for his life as a rock superstar.
