Bohemian Rhapsody


Rock You it Does!                                                                 3/5


Biopic
     The Film is simultaneously a retelling and embellishing of the sensation that is Queen

Standout
     I echo what so many others do, Rami Malek as Freddie makes this movie everything it is

Musical
     Well kind of...at least this is more a Musical then Star is Born so I guess that counts.

Crowd Pleaser
     An A on Cinemascore, and applause from the audience I was with.


Rotten Tomatoes 59%                                  Cinemascore: A

Bohemian Rhapsody is just as fun as the trailers made it out to be. Rami Malek crushes it and runs away with the movie as the legend Freddie Mercury. The film does suffer from some pacing issues most noticeable in the later half of the second act and into the third; the script lets down some of the film's bigger moments surrounding Freddie's personal life. However if what you wanted was a greatest hits homage to Queen, or a peek into the life of of the infamous Mr. Mercury, Bohemian Rhapsody is stuffed with more then you could ask for.
