Wow...
Genuinely surprised by how good that was. I can see why the critics seem to be less than enthusiastic about it, but I really don't care about them. Ok, it's not entirely accurate but overall, and it's really a of a bit sugar coated version of Freddie's life, but I really enjoyed it. All 4 of the guys who play the members of Queen are excellent. Freddie and Brian are the standouts though. At points, I forgot that it wasn't Freddie on the screen. Rami Malek is that good. Mike Myers caused a few laughs with his role,
The music is as expected, excellent. They got the roar of Wembley Stadium sounding about right as well which is fantastic. Also the cinema I went too has recently had an audio upgrade and the volume was certainly adequate.
But the bit that surprised me most was that a large percentage of the audience cheered and applauded at the end of the movie... Never actually had that happen before.
I'm off to see it with a friend next week at the BFI Imax. Can't wait.
