I know people have commented on it in What's the last movie you saw? but I reckon it's good enough to deserve its own thread. All involved with this movie have produced something very, very good.
Firstly, the subject matter is easy to like. Queen are one of the best and most accessible bands of the last 40 years. And Freddie Mercury one of the most charismatic and interesting characters.
The film makers bring all that to life and more. They have enriched the great songs with the backstory of Freddie and the band, from startup, then success, breakup, Freddie's illness and the Live Aid concert.
The casting was top notch.The actors looked spookily like the band members and were convincing in their personas. But Rami Malek absolutely nailed it as Freddie. The mannerisms and stage movements were spot on.
Whoever did the cinematography and the sound should be nominated for the highest awards.
