They wanna do a sequel which focuses on the latter years and his struggle with AIDS. I don't remember reading anything about a sequel. But yes the film ends in 1985 with Live Aid.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 So the movie won't have Freddie's death in it? I saw some more previews on AXS and it does look like Freddie is telling the band he has AIDS. I really want to see this movie with my parents. My mom and dad are huge Queens fans. I'm not anxious to see Freddie's death because I know how painful it will be for my parents to watch it. Anyway, the movie looks freakin awesome! Long live Freddie and Queen!

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Okay found out this movie is rated PG 13, so I assume we won't see any explicit sex scenes or any of Freddie's private life. How much does that suck? I probably will still see it, but I don't think it'll do Queen or Freddie justice. Guess it will focus mostly on Queen's music and not their private lives. Oh well.

Rated PG-13 for suggested material and drug content. So we may see Freddie do some coke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope it does Freddie and Queen justice. He was one of a kind and changed the voice of music back in the 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wished his sex life to remain private. So his bandmates respect that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I wonder if reviews will be out for this soon. I'm not excited at all from everything I've seen so far. I'm going to have to see some amazing reviews first to get me to the theater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Aesthetically the movie looks really sharp but... I don't know, it also looks sort of dumb and pedestrian. Some of the lines in the trailer make me roll my eyes. There's that and Sascha Cohen's eternal comment that the Queen guys see this as a vanity project for themselves, which doomed his involvement. I get that feeling at the point in the trailer when they tell Freddie he's a legend and he tells them "we're all legends." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Sascha Cohen trying to act serious would've doomed the movie from the start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Not long back from seeing this. I won’t say too much, but I enjoyed this a lot more than I first anticipated. A few inaccuracies and glorifications on certain events, but it’s to be expected in only 2 hours of footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I think I’m most looking forward to the recreation of Live Aid. Based on the soundtrack track listing, we’ll get a fair bit of the performance. It’ll be fun to see it in a cinematic light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I like Queen but I cannot say I have much interest in this. If you want to know Mercury just listening to the man's recordings or watch Live Aid. Why watch some naff biopic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the only bands who generally get biopics are massively famous ones in which case there's loads of footage out there and documentaries that are more rewarding to watch than some two bit dramatisation. Unless its some seminal cult band with fuck all out there about them like The Germs, their biopic had some curiosity value but bands like Queen, The Doors, The Beatles, why do you wanna watch some phoney shit some twat cooked up by reading the same kinda books you could read if you'd bother too. Or watching the same documentaries/gigs or listening to the same albums. The ones I like are the ones with like an 'inspired by' preface, like the movie Last Days by Gus Van Sant, because they immediately cancel out the 'well this ain't accurate' gripe so you can just enjoy it as a film. Queen though, fuckin' hell, there's probably miles and miles of film out there about them, documentaries, live gigs, books, a wealth of information, do Queen need a fuckin' shite film with some bucktooth bellend who looks vaguely like Freddie Mercury? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Control was fuckin' brilliant but that kinda fits into the thing I was talking about with The Germs (who also have a biopic) in that there ain't really a wealth of film out there about them for fans to turn to, I mean there's some, a lot of which has been bought to the fore due to the release of Control but it still ain't a lot, I mean they made two albums and were barely around long enough to become world renowned. Control is a fantastic movie though, one of if not the best pure biopic I've ever seen, since Last Days by Gus Van Sant is hardly a pure biopic.

RussTCB Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Reviews are starting and as I very much expected, they're bad:https://consequenceofsound.net/2018/10/film-review-bohemian-rhapsody/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/oct/27/bohemian-rhapsody-review-queen-biopic-will-not-rock-you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Freddie goes in to be tested for AIDS, and is given the bad news, the film sets all this to the band’s Highlander theme, “Who Wants to Live Forever.” A directorial, musical misfire. The angelic, golden-lit lugubriousness of it is now under consideration for new camp. Uggh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
