Default Bohemian Rhapsody The Movie

Guys, have you seen it? The wife and I loved it. The music for the movie was just incredible. Both Freddy and Brian May actors were absolute dead ringers for their roles. I understand the producers took some "artistic interpretation" on certain facts, but it was all in aid of moving the movie along in 2 hours. I also understand that Brian May and Roger Taylor approved all of it and were very involved in the film. We saw a preview of the Elton John movie coming out next Summer... it looked very interesting. Have a great weekend!

Saw it today and really enjoyed it. They overplay the reconciliation due to Live Aid and some other details are blatantly wrong but on the whole it is very enjoyable, if somewhat tame.

The studio and live sequences are incredible and the Brian May character is spot on. The sound at our cinema was slightly out of sync which was unusual and it REALLY annoys me when you can see that an actor isn’t playing exactly what you are hearing but there are minor niggles as I said.

Great movie and great spotlight for the legendary Ovation Pacemaker that saw so many great stages.

Now the guitar has been retired in the mid 90s but still is occasionally played by Brian privately:
