My Review
As will all of my reviews I will not go into the plot
Rami Malek was amazing, and he made the movie. Bohemian Rhapsody is the vehicle that will make Rami Malek a star.
Rami fell into the role of Freddie Mercury completely and killed it.
Bohemian Rhapsody would have been an A+ if not for the editing. The editing was so cliche, and the cliche took away from Rami's great performance.
You can see the editing problems in the last scene which was Queen's performance at Live Aid. It looked like a low budget made for TV movie.
The hard part about doing a movie like this is that it encompassed such a long time period from 1968 to 1985, and it went from the beginning to the comeback.
Rating - B (Worth the price of the ticket and a popcorn)
