Review Tuesday: Bohemian Rhapsody 2018

  

 

Bohemian Rhapsody

2018 

The story of Freddy Mercury and the band Queen.

If you listen to rock music at all you have to like Queen. They were a very ve4rsatile band, playing all sorts of styles and types of music. The members were excellent in their roles. While I don't think I have any Queen records, I would never turn a Queen song off on the radio. With that established, when my BFF asked if I would be interested in watching BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY with her, I had to say sure!

 

I won't bother discussing the plot. It's a docudrama about the band QUEEN from the perspective of Freddie Mercury. That is the way it had to be because the flamboyant front-man is the member who captures the imagination of the fans. It starts from the beginning with Freddie joining up with the band and their journey up to Live Aid. The ups and downs.

 

It's extremely well made. Rami Malek nailed the role as Freddie. It's warm, it's sad, it inspires you, and it's pleasing. I enjoyed this movie. Two plus hours of this docudrama moved very quickly and time well-spent.
