Went to the
cinema to catch this Freddy Mercury / Queen biopic and did not regret it. Rami
Malek really filled his role as Freddy. He was totally committed and
particularly the on-stage scenes came across really well. I enjoyed his band
comrades as well. The friendship they had was beautiful. Also: Aidan Gillen!
Woohoo (got his weight under control again, too). The movie made me realise
just how many Queen songs I actually know (and it's quite a lot) and that I
ACTUALLY like one or two! They really were an inspirational quartet. I thought
it was nice how they portrayed everyone's input into the creative process, too.
Nicely done. The drama aspect was a bit lost in the lengthy wanderings, though,
and the plot failed to tighten properly. Some of the subtleties were lost in
the editing as well, which was - overall - much too fast for my taste.
So, yeah: visuals could have been better. Rami's face lends itself to lighting. Shadow is his friend. That's about all. The edits were too fast, the balance between close-ups and wide-angle didn't work,... I think this could have been even better in the hands of eg. Ron Howard.
All in all, a good film, though. A watcheable 3/5
