Bohemian Rhapsody Review
Bohemian Rhapsody Review
I am not the biggest fan of Queen just off the start, I like their music but just think they were up themselves too much. Bohemian Rhapsody sounds something Genesis would record and in my eyes that says it all. However, for the most part, I thoroughly enjoyed this film and I would recommend it to most.
First of all, let's talk about the characters and the actors involved. Rami Malek is superb as Freddie Mercury and I understand all the Oscars buzz, he is receiving. There was a nuance to his acting and he steals almost every scene, he is in. I'm writing this the day before the Oscar's, and I think he is going to win best actor. There's controversy over Bryan Singer, which shouldn't deter from his performance, and also the overall quality of this film. However, seeing as the Academy nominated it for best picture then the answer is clear as to their opinion on this. Aidan Gillen is a top tier actor in my eyes and I believe he deserves a bigger part in bigger films now. He was great in Sing Street and Game of Thrones for all who have seen it, know how good he is in that. The rest of the performances are pretty bland except for the actor who played the dastardly Paul. He is depicted as a weasel of a man and I very much did not enjoy him as a person. Lucy Boynton and Ben Hardy were alright but nothing of any note and the rest are forgettable as their names to me. Mike Myers cameo was cool but it was just a small little cameo.
As memory serves there was one scene that I did not like which involved Freddie crying and it was just laughable, to say the least. The Live Aid scene, on the other hand, was one of the best scenes this year in movies. My nan worked at Live Aid with my aunt and the gig took place near to my home at Wembley, so the gig is quite unique and special in my eyes.
In summary, Bohemian Rhapsody is an easy watch of a film and although bland in places, does a decent job of portraying Freddie's life. I even recommended to my Queen hating father, although that was met with rapturous laughter. I'd score a very good 8.5 out of 10 and would sing the film's praises.
And that is what Jenka has to say
