If you enjoy their music and have not been to see it or you are not sure, you will love this. The casting is very clever, the music is brilliant and now I have Night at the Opera playing in the background.

I think Queen are a band that are impossible to put into any genre and that is perhaps their biggest quality, I mean what other band could have a back catalogue full of music as diverse as We will rock you, Somebody to Love, All Dead, All dead, Fat Bottomed Girls, Radio Ga Ga all the way to the Flash soundtrack.Kwacky wrote:I wouldn't call Queen hard rock.
Neither would I.....but that song alone is definitely hard rock & pretty much embodies what most hard rock bands are trying to achieve - or any mainstream artists are trying to achieve for that matter.Kwacky wrote:I wouldn't call Queen hard rock.

You hear that song just one time & you'll never forget it.
Unlike a lot of songs, which are gone in a....
Flash! Ah-aahh!!
Fwiw almost everyone that I have heard from who have seen it have (like TC) loved the film.bb41 wrote:I saw them many moons ago when Freddie did his last tour . I was bit concerned whether the film would be a bit too whimsical as Freddie was OTT in everything he did and this film may gloss over the true events .
I actually haven't been to the cinema for years and will have to wait to see it.
Most people who have gone seem to enjoy it though, but I wondered if it's not totally biographical only just the good bits.
He was going to but him and Brian May apparently had a big falling out over it along with the original directors as they wanted it to be the Freddie Mercury story and Brian May wanted it to be the Queen story.StMarks wrote: I heard a few years ago that Sacha Baron Cohen was going to play Freddie.. Although I think he would have been perfect in many ways for the part, his association with the film may have detracted attention a little.?
I guess I'll have to invest a little time & effort, and get myself to a cinema then.T.C. wrote:...I usually wait until a film comes up on the telly as well, but this is a movie where the cinema actually enhances the experience ...
Always respect your opinion TC, even on those occasions when our views are "slightly out of sync" mate.T.C. wrote:...... just my personal opinion for what its worth.
Sorry bb41, I did come across rather "preachy" didn't I.bb41 wrote:St Marks.. I just didn't want to be a little disappointed , although I probably wouldn't go to the cinema to watch it.
Many docs particularly Freddie are pretty outrageous so I presume as TC said it's just a good watch with good music .
Brian May can say whatever he wants, and to be fair he's stuck between a rock & a hard place.....but Freddie Mercury WAS Queen.....he was the frontman, and that's that.... Just as Debbie Harry was Blondie, Jim Morrison was The Doors, etc.Cavetroll87 wrote:
