Well to start off I was never really a Queen fan, my music was a tad earlier. Hendrix, Cream, Doors, Iron Butterfly, Steppenwolf, Led Zeppelin, Mountain and others. But I give this flick good marks. Rami Malek does a pretty good job looking like Mercury. Heck of a part! FYI he was in The Pacific miniseries as Cpl. "Snafu" and played a pretty Creepy little guy. If you're a Queen fan at all you owe yourself to watch it.
Here's the Real Deal!

Absolutely LOVED this movie. A few of the details weren't accurate (he didn't tell the rest of the band about his having AIDS before the Live Aid concert, it was much later that he told them) but the concert itself was spot on. I had to come back and find it on YouTube, every movement was captured perfectly.

I'll check it out at some point but I don't like that his life has been whitewashed by the surviving members of the band who had the final say and scrubbed clean of his sexuality and zaniness.
This sounded like a much better and more accurate movie when Sascha Baron Cohen was slated to play Mercury and include a lot of hijinx but from what I have seen and heard Malek gave the best performance that could have been given.
