I don't care what the critics say. I had been waiting for this since I was a little girl and in all honesty, this film met up to my expectations. I loved the cinematography and the acting obviously. I definetly see a nomination for Mr.Malik and he made you believe he was Freddie Mercury in everyway. He brought someone back to life that has been long gone and reminded us how he lives instead of focusing how he died, especially during the live aids scene! People go see it!
