This film is wonderful, speaking as a Queen fan. It's fun and genuine, just like Queen were. The music comes across brilliantly and reminds you of how much the band achieved and how adaptable they were. The contrast between the Englishness and normalcy of the band off stage and the scale and power of their on stage presence comes across really well. I went in with a glass of wine and at the end found myself still clutching the stem but with the wine untouched, so captivated was I by the story and by Rami Malek. The only tiny thing is that Malek is physically quite small, more like Prince than the imposing Mercury but otherwise he's brilliant. I suspect the movie will be a bit like Bohemian Rhaposdy the song, panned by the critics as disjointed mumbo jumbo but loved by everyone else.
