We saw it last night

Liked it. Some of the backstory leading to the creation of A Night At The Opera felt a bit rushed. Mercury's character seemed gay from the beginning, just taking awhile for him to be open about it. Later timeline deviated from reality for dramatic effect. By now most know about Mike Myers' cameo, but there is another related cameo that goes by in a split second, but is very noticeable (and funny). "Paul" is perhaps overplayed as extremely malevolent, but just may be a composite of several people around the band at the time. Someone derisively commented that it felt like a big budget VHI behind the music- scrappy young kids achieve sudden success, then excess, then falling from grace, then seeing the light, then redemption. Maybe so but the story and characters are compelling, and the music is the music. I am glad they used original tracks where possible. Malek about nailed Mercury's charisma and vulnerability. We saw it in Dolby enhanced, but the volume seemed a bit low. I wish it were louder- at least for the music. And we do have an IMAX in town- so may see it again in IMAX.
