Wife and I went tonight, was pleasantly surprised about how good it actually was.
He did an awesome job portraying Mercury, we have watched some interviews and videos.
The man had if nothing else an amazing voice and lived for the stage.
If he portrayed the torment correctly you sure feel for Freddie.
I would give this movie a 92/100

We were flipping between that and A Star is Born last night and opted to see A Star is Born, which turned out to be fantastic. I'd not seen any of the previous 3 versions but recall the soundtrack from the Streisand version in my Mom's vinyl collection as a kid. I highly recommend it, I figure some Oscars are already reserved for it. Its not often I go see a movie and then spend the next day re-watching bits and interviews about it online, but that's been today for both my wife & I. Make sure your wife or girlfriend has plenty of tissues. My lone tear must have been from dust in the HVAC system, what an odd time to change the air filters...

I've been waiting for this movie for a few years to come out Bohemian Rhapsody ,just a side note Elvis was offered the part in the Barbra Streisand version of a star is born and turned it down.

Sorry for the 2nd post hijack, I just thought it could be a recent movie thread instead of starting another one

No trouble at all pal!

I had no interest in the Gaga Cooper flick, my daughter went and said it was great but just not my thing.

Rhapsody was a tear jerker for sure, you could hear the entire theatre trying to be tough.

Movie? Ya ok! Maybe I should watch and I will for sure. But I can listen to Mercury's voice for hours, amazing. His octave range is there with the best that have ever been. Did not live long enough

Wifey said that a lot in the movie was not true to life, just did not happen but for the most part was true to the band. They have to add some to make things more exciting of course. Or maybe not to upset royalties, etc.
