Bohemian Rapsody - 6/10
Going into a movie like this, you know they're not going to stick to reality. Things get spiced up for film, so I'm not judging based on accuracy, just on if it was good or not (I didn't know details about Queen beforehand anyway).
Regardless, it was about what I expected but still felt rushed in parts. They didn't explain or handle Queen's rise to fame very well. Almost immediately they establish a story about how Freddy joined in with Smile which eventually became Queen. You're never really shown them gaining more popularity, you're just TOLD they're selling out clubs. There was almost no transition between up and coming bar band and then all of a sudden they're recording Bohemian Rhapsody. There isn't a lot of solid sense of time progression, and it was hard to know how far they were in their history pretty often.
Apart from that, it was still fairly entertaining for what it was. The cast seemed fairly good, and the concert scenes were on point.
Best part was Mike Meyers playing a record executive trash talking Bohemian Rhapsody
