Review of Bohemian Rhapsody

I have seen the film Bohemian Rhapsody, and I enjoyed every moment of it.

The film follows the story of Freddie Mercury and follows how the band Queen began to one of it finest moment, the LiveAid concert of 1985.  Being born the year after Freddie Mercury died of AIDs, I grew up listening to Queen, and the film allowed me to see how Freddie managed around his sexuality, how the band created some of their greatest hits and how Freddie manages to get Queen on the Wembley stage at LiveAid.

Rami Malek, who portrays Freddie Mercury, did a good performance, so good that when he performed the songs, I couldn't tell if it was him, or a voice-over recording of Freddie.  Gwilym Lee and Joseph Mazzello as Brian May and John Deacon respectfully certainly had the looks.

I find it sad that Freddie Mercury was lost to the terrible illness at the age of 45.  If only he could only knew the influence he would give to singers like Robbie Williams, Adele and Kate Perry.

I look forward to the release on DVD, then I'll be able to watch it all again, let the music Rock the house, and know that Freddie Mercury, and Queen, are the Champions of the World.

Here's a link to Queen's YouTube website for their songs and insights of Bohemian Rhapsody.

I hope that you will come, see and enjoy at Eden Court.
