Bohemian Rhapsody is the best flick I have seen in a long time.

Rami Malek is larger than life in this. The Oscar was certainly deserving. Playing Freddie Mercury, the greatest front man of all time, and Malek making himself that way for this role, the greatest of all time, had to be the toughest act in the movie biz.

Otherwise, this film was panned as being long, predictable, and tedious. I think that criticism is self-serving. This is a semi-historical presentation. There weren't many faces in this that anyone would recognize. It appears that the actors were chosen for their resemblances to the actual people. This was the story of Queen as much as it was about Mercury.

I'm not a huge fan of Queen's music, but it really carried forth here, showing the tremendous popularity of the band. Powerful stuff. Mercury's tragic end, and the pathos and broken relationships leading up to it, were portrayed with dignity. A lot of sorrow was laid out for witnessing.

For a non-enthusiast of their music, and for a formulaic presentation (it is a history) of the band's and Mercury's lives, I really got pulled into it. I think it's worth the cable fee to see it.
