If you are a fan of Queen then make sure you see Bohemian Rhapsody. My brother and I saw it today and it is awesome. Make sure to bring some tissues, you may need them.
Rami Malik was incredible as Freddie and the rest of the actors looked very much like the rest of the band. Same with the Bob Geldof actor, he looked very similar to the real Bob. In case you aren't aware, the actor playing John Deacon is the same actor that was a child in the original Jurassic Park.
I saw the trailer a while back. They definitely got the right guy to play Freddie.
It looks good. Thanks for the review, Kim! I love Queen... saw so many concerts in my younger days but never saw Queen, I'm sorry to say.
My son and his gf saw it Saturday night and really enjoyed it. You get a little story (the important parts) and lots of music. I plan to go see it soon.

I saw my very first concert in '84 when I was 14. Since then I have seen some 100+ shows, unfortunately Queen was never one of them. I did watch Live Aid when it aired and was thoroughly blown away by Queen. I had massive chills while watching them perform "Radio Ga Ga" (all those people clapping in unison.) They were the best part of Live Aid. I watched from 8:20 am until 2 something AM that day (mostly on MTV).
When we saw the movie, the theater had the sound so loud you felt like you were at a concert. Usually the main sound isn't quite loud enough but this time it was a tad too loud.
I saw the movie yesterday, a great movie well worth seeing.

I found a 25 minute clip of Queen performing at that concert for anyone that's interested. There's a lot of people crammed in that stadium ..
That's great~! THANK YOU!
You're welcome! tumbsup.gif
That's the full show they did that day.
I found this today SPOILERS for the movie if you haven't already seen it.

Here's Freddie Mercury in Hungary in 1986. The quality of the video is amazing for being over 30 years old.
What a colorful man! So much talent. It was such a shame to lose him so early.
What surprised me about the video is that you really don't see much security when he gets off the boat.
true! I can't imagine having that huge crowd of people screaming for me. Unreal.
1991 today he died. November 24, 1991 to clarify. crying10.gif girls18.gif 6_6.gif
