@@jasonlewis9240 hell nah
@@jasonlewis9240 Rocketman was depressing
The worst part for me was all that "Freddie is the bad guy, but we (Brian and Roger) are his saviours" feeling it gave me.
Yep, Freddie didn't sack the manager,, and didn't go solo and break up the band.
It’s how the Brits think they always come to save Indians.
@@Capitaldoc White people in general adore the "White Savior" narrative.
@@SamanthaGuttesen ummmm Freddie did actually solo he even have solo songs
@@mochiyomi7464 I think you've misunderstood what I said. I know he did solo stuff, BUT, he did Mr Bad Guy between Hot Space album and The Works, then released it in 85. He didn't leave Queen, especially to do it.
As a teacher, this is what I always told my students during story-writing lessons, 'Make sure you are writing a story not a report. If I can turn your 'story' into a report and copy down the facts easily on a piece of paper in a chronological order, it's not a story, and I am not accepting it.' By God, my grade-4 students wrote gripping stories and characters that made me cry. They would write a better script tbh. Also 5:18 was utter cringe. Not how Freddie would have said this.
Made me cringe so hard.
It's as though they wrote the script based on a couple of Wikipedia articles while playing the Queen Greatest Hits I and II CD's
And who’s to say they didn’t?
The literal band members made the movie and they were happy with it and obviously not as many people would have watched the movie if it was full of their more obscure songs like "great king rat" and "in the lap of the gods"
@@ShhmiaASMR I don't like arguing just for the sake of it, but I honestly think that *real longtime Queen fans* would have loved hearing such early obscure tracks in the film. Moreover, their inclusion would've captured the spirit of the 70's of which Queen were most representative of. Yes, the 70's, not the 80's! This movie was obviously done for commercial purposes only, mostly to attract potential new younger fans/buyers. The fact that *half* the band members were involved in it doesn't change that fact.
Also they have said "we are happy" with the film because they were promoting the film? What good promoter would say "yeah our film aint that great"
No true queen fan would be happy with this film
If it was done by Wikipedia at least it would have been somewhat accurate
the one thing that PISSED ME OFF about this movie is how the crowd at live aid looked. every single person "dressed for the 80s" looked exactly the same and they look like they came from a decades party. not every in the 80s wore the same thing.
Exactly lol, many 80 people were dressed as now
Well said.
The movie is just very superficial...that's what bothers everyone, it doesn't go deep into the bands history, it doesn't go deep into their music(a couple montages here and there), doesn't go deep into the bandmate's lives, we could say it KINDA goes deep into Freddie's loneliness and sexual orientation but that's it. Also it wasn't even close to accurate in terms of the bands history in the last third of the movie. Rami Malik was EXCEPTIONAL AS FREDDIE BTW. The guy rocked it and the whole band too, but there is no substance or depth to this movie.
This!
@Tom Sacks That's because the film changed the history of the band and made the Live Aid performance a reunion where Freddie was out of practice when in actuality they had toured during most of the previous year. If you watch the movie and actual concert side by side there is no hesitation at all with Freddie like in the movie.
Y’all need to know it was loosely based on em. It’s not a damn documentary for fucks sake
@@hugeclockowner7949 That isn't an excuse for bad storytelling or trivializing a man's dying years just because the audience is made up of seals that nod their heads at everything.
Yeah superficial is the word, I got a bit bored towards the end and just wanted it to finish.
....and the truth is completely chopped and changed to the point that the movie is fictional
GOD DAMN IT IDC IF ITS REAL OR NOT ITS STILL GOOD
Me: sees title
Also me: dear god I hope he’s talking about the movie
Thank the lord it was the movie.

Endgame and infinity war
This is really accurate. I am a very big Queen fan but as you said the only casting was the only thing I liked about it. Queen and Freddie deserved way way better. It is so nice to see another person understanding it and agreeing with me on it
Same. I wanted a 3 hour movie that showed how the band coped with Freddie’s death and the while the credits rolled have Gwillym Lee, Joe Mazello and Ben Hardy recreate the No One but You video
Since you say Queen deserved way better, it's sad that Brian and Roger were heavily involved in this movie and the final product was like this. It ain't a bad movie, but it could've been so much better. They play it way too safe with Freddie's life, i swear this should've been Rated R
What do you mean "Queen and Freddie?" Freddie is in Queen.....not with Queen like Paul Rodgers or Adam Lambert
There are a lot of issues I have with this film despite being only a mild fan of the band. Most scenes felt contrived, and set up way too perfectly to make their story a typical Hollywood rise to fame type film. For example, Freddie running into the bandmates in an alley, singing a bit for them and becoming their new singer when in reality they were friends for years before the founding of Queen. Sadly, the film felt more like the Mark Wahlberg film Rock Star in this regard. Second, the film plays up way too much Queen's impact on the music scene. I mean, they were huge in the 70's, there is no denying that, but if this film is to be believed Freddie invented Glam Rock and they were the very first band to have a long single and to use various styles of music in their song when in reality, glam rock was already huge before Queen thanks to David Bowie, Alice Cooper, New York Dolls, ect, and experimental music was huge in the 1970's. They even mention Dark Side of the Moon, an album with the single Us and Them clocking at almost 8 minutes in the very same scene a producer complains about Bohemian Rhapsody being 6 minutes in length without anybody bringing up this obvious discrepancy.
I liked Malek's performance, but was perplexed by the need to use an obvious prosthetic to give him an overbite like Freddy when the actor already has a slight overbite, making his much worse than the person he was supposed to be playing.
Well,they were friend before they founded QUEEN they met at the time of SMILE so...
Glam rock was popular in the 70s.....Queen was glam rock.....Early AC/DC (1973-75) was glam Rock.......AC/DC's current lead singer was in a glam rock band called Geordie.....Queen never invented new categories....rather they just changed to the music trends
I hate how people watch the movie and just think they’re real fans when that’s the only knowledge of Queen they have. My best friend met someone who “liked” Queen and when she told him how great of a singer Freddie was, and they asked her who he was. Now that’s sad. I also saw someone myself that thought that all Queen songs were by the movie, and Queen was not a real band. Not to mention the fact that the video I commented on was misleading. It had “Bohemian Rhapsody” in the title but so Queen songs or the song itself was even in the video.”, just K-Pop. I called them out asking why it was in the title and the person that replied to me said I was the fake fan. I replied saying that Queen was a real band, and Bohemian Rhapsody was a song way before the shitty movie but they haven’t replied since. That’s why I hate the movie so much. It took things out of context and now they poisoned the Queen fandom.
Yes!! Took the words right out of my mouth
YES SO TRUE! FANDOM IS LITERALLY POISONED and since the movie came out I was more and more far from participating it... I really liked to discuss, experience things, emotions and meet new people there. Now.. gone. Sad.
@@yoruli_e before the movie the fandom was full of groovy people who really knew the music now its filled with a bunch of mumble rap listening tik tok obsessed 15 year olds who know nothing
I have no idea what you are rambling on about. Seems however there are another 24 people that agree with this incoherent ramble.
The formula for every scene in the movie:
Freddy not being understood by people close to him + bad mean music producer + corny banter by band members + subtle hints of Freddy’s sexuality + cap it with transition of famous Queen song and montage of concerts.
*I got trapped into watching this movie. It was absolutely terrible. It was made for the masses for sure.*
as a queen fan, i’m disappointed i hope there’s a second one it shows the real struggles, Freddies sickness, Roger and Brians affairs, John was actually a funny guy and had nothing wrong-
Also the movie birth fanboy and fangirl and believe a myth Freddie perform aids with AIDS
Do we need a second one? Not really, I'd be content with just listening to their music.
@@jamesbacon1776 this.
@@Tony-fx9ky This? What do you mean?
The second one where we get to watch Freddy’s battle against aids then dying painfully at the end 😕
Who else can't wait for Sacha Baron Cohen to make his own version of Freddie's life... it better be good!

y’all still waiting lmao
Sacha won’t do it, he’s a family man.
Doubt that will ever happen
Can't stand Sacha.

Im not gonna lie what do you mean? Patience wise? Cause if you mean by in the bedroom thats a long ass time
Keep1n1tFr0st1e quote from the film lol
You stole my worda
At first I thought he was saying that the song was bad
It's so unfair that you got this so right and so many people are disliking this video out of childish affection for this weak movie.
FOR REAL
most people don't even know this movie exists .
Do you want to watch a movie called Bohemian Rhapsody?
Yeah! That sounds cool! Is it about the song?
No, the song has almost nothing to do with the plot.
Oh, okay, is it about the band?
No, it focuses more on Freddie Mercury.
So it’s about his life?
No, it follows his life with the band. And it doesn’t end with his death.
Oh.
And it has a lot of historical inaccuracies that really ruin the movie.
Well-
And the editing is really bad.
That’s-
And we only talk about a couple of songs, and even then they will only get a scene.
That sounds terrible.
Yeah, well it was nominated for Best Picture and won 4 Oscars, two of which were best editing and best actor.
bro shut up, the movie focussed on freddies life and was a great movie, and they dont have to mention freddies death. shut up.
addy meadows nice argument there
addy meadows For a movie about his life, it didn’t show that much of it. Me and many others also have a problem with the fact that the movie is very negative towards Freddie’s homosexuality. It’s like, “If only you stayed with that girl Freddie, instead of being a gay man, you might still be alive.”
Man who tf r u to decide the editing was bad if it won an Oscar. The people who choose the winner clearly know better than u
Ben Sagal-Morris I think you are going about it wrong, it was meant to be uplifting and not focus on the dark stuff.
*Fr* The movie was so painfully average - It’s like it used Walk Hard as a template even tho Walk Hard is mocking the movie itself
I couldn't get over how bad the prosthetic teeth looked. Yes, Freddie had buckteeth and an overbite. No, it wasn't nearly as exaggerated as it was in the film. Rami couldn't even close his mouth all the way just because of how ridiculous the fake teeth fit and whenever he tried, it looked like he was smuggling a mouth full of marbles or something. It was just too distracting in my opinion
i agree with you, i think the movie lacked allure... felt like it was just randomly slapped together. wasnt a big fan of the over sized hideous teeth they used, i realize freddie had big chompers but they over did it to the point where it was just distracting lol
He had extra teeth
It wasn’t a perfect movie, but I can’t deny- Rami deserved that oscar. He gave his heart and soul to the film
Sure... Wearing fake teeth and lip cyncing is really hard to be done. Way harder than gaining weight or singing and performing LIVE with guitar. How the heck did he won over Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper?!
no he didnt lmao he just played himself like he always does
@@alucard00774 This is what I've been looking for. Everyone's saying " Bad movie, but oh my gosh rami maleks performance was great". What? He didn't even sound like him? Led alone look anything like him. Poor actor.
No he didn't. It was a bit cringy.
@@alucard00774 Oh go away. It is called acting.
I was literally thinking to my self about how this is just a wiki article
I totally agree with you. I love Queen and that's exactly the reason why I feel this film's an insult to the band, they deserved better!!! I really don't get what all the fuss is about. Alright, kids might have liked it, but...true Queen fans?!?!?! You made some great points and I can think of many more...
'true queen fans' the fucking arrogance you have is laughable
I agree with you. These kids, listen 4 - 5 songs, watch the film, and then they are pretty convinced they are Masters of rock music.
Sacha Baron Cohen would’ve been a better Freddie for me
Yeah even Sacha looks like Freddie just without a stache
He's just too tall to be Freddie.
Bean Machine Of course.. Let the man, who played „Borat“, „Brüno“ and „Ali G“ play a rock legend
It wasn’t about the height he basically Wanted a “Gritty” R-Rated film that focused on Freddie rather than the band and he didn’t take Freddie Seriously as Brian and Roger Said.
sweetchy 00 they didn’t let Rami’s baby blues stop them 🙄
what surprises me the most about this movie is how brian may constantly talks about how long it took them to make sure the movie was perfect, he says this was a project they started planning like 10 years ago and i wonder how something that they planned for so long can turn out so terrible.... i’m just sorry freddie’s name will be associated to this mess from now on
Makes you wonder if Queen had any input all as some stuff in the movie was stuff Freddie agreed with the Band to keep private and they wouldn't ever share. So maybe Queen had some input like Casting and on Songs but most of it was made up by producers
They’re musicians not filmmakers, that’s why it turned out bad
I came into this video expecting to be mad.
I expected to come in here picking up my machine gun and scream that nobody will speak ill of Freddie’s movie or I’ll torture you with the pain of a thousand dentists blah blah blah... but... understandable
This whole movie was a lie and it made Freddie look bad
This is stereotypical reddit behavior. Queen is overrated, and you only listen to their greatest hits, anyway

@@bensagal-morris8072 those movies suck youre a total clown lol
I agree but hypothetically let’s say that Queen and there history never existed the story of the movie would have been amazing but in terms of factual information it is the worst movie I’ve ever seen 🍿
If anyone wants to watch this for Queen, the real queen I would suggest watching the documentary Days Of Our Lives, there is also a documentary with a really interesting recreation about freddy's unfortunate passing. If you want to watch a movie about a fictional queen then Bohemian Rhapsody is for you! I didn't really enjoy Bohemian Rhapsody as it was too much fiction and ultimately the band threw Freddy under the bus too much with stuff that didn't fully happen. The documentary was a lot better and more interesting.
The director already said it
The movie is not a documentary, it's a FUCKING MOVIE
@@anthonykay1580 Yeah, a bad one.
@@CornyTelecaster49 that is your personal opinion.
6/10 is not a bad score by the """smart critics""".
LilJudith PoohScouts well I really enjoy both.
Anthony is Okay But the band and Freddie deserved a movie that was at least an 8/10.
Don't dislike the video because of the title until you watch the whole video..
Agree man. The whole movie seems like a stich up of Queen songs with a little background story behind them. There is no real drive and have seen better documentaries about Queen and Freddie Mercury. They even messed up the timeline by making it seem like We Will Rock You was composed in the 80s when Freddie was already heavily sporting a moustache. Probably on purpose but it makes no sense why they would purposely create such a weird mix up. They didn't really know how to end the movie so they basically made the ending almost as long as the real Live Aid performance. I actually wanted to find the real Queen Live Aid and rewatch that instead. Terrible film, a master piece of crap.
We will rock you is 1977 and he didn't have a moustache until 1980 and I can't believe they only mentioned 3 songs on night at the opera
Just watch Highlander & Flash Gordon instead.
@Jw Nj Only the first Highlander Movie. Pretend that the Sequels never happened.
I'll be honest...I actually don't mind Highlander 2 & 3...yeah I know there can be only one movie. They are not great but still watchable, for me at least.
@@jwnj9716 They are both Garbage to me. Especially Highlander 2. Aliens from planet Zeist. Fuck this Movie!
lead actor wasn't good. awkward portrayal
@Diego Pisfil idk about that... sacha is like 6'3 and freddie was 5'10.
He was very good... he actually won an Oscar
The movie is named aftet Bohemian Rhapsody but they never played Bohemian Rhapsody in it.
George Mallivon one of the most influential and incredible songs of all time, had only like minutes in the movie. It baaaarealy appeared in the movie
Freddie didn't spit all the time while speaking, nor did he talk like a demented person. He had large teeth, but his speech sure as hell wasn't as bad as Rami Malek's depiction.
You're editing was better than Bohemian Raphsody

The number of dislikes you got shows how inexplicably popular this garbage film is.My friend told me that critics of this movie who did not like it "were lying"
I thought the movie was decent I just hate the new fans who act they know everything about the band and being the biggest fan ever because they saw the movie and listened to a few songs, I used to listen to Queen often but since the movie I no longer have much interest
Yeah, the movie is decent. but yeah those new fans are like...

@@MsTinkerbelle87 what is you favorite queen song
bruh i literally don't remember commenting this. i was toxic.
The band (Brian May and Roger Taylor) literally were there the whole time that they were directing/filming/producing.
Rio Trousdell they just cared about that check. Sacha baron cohen proved that. He was supposed to be Freddie but he wanted the movie to be as honest as possible and show how much of a rockstar Fred was. instead they just made him look like an asshole who broke up the band and then felt bad only when he found out he was dying which is SO inaccurate it’s almost unbearable. Roger and Brian also made themselves look like innocent angels and the true geniuses, so f*ck them
@@michaelscatt1807 This is why Rocketman was an infinitely better biopic. Not only was it visually stunning, it depicts Elton John in a far more realistic way with his anger problems, drug addiction, sex addiction. It also focused on his relationship with his family and friends, going into great depth about their strengths and weaknesses. My biggest problem with Bohemian Rhapsody was they made it far too kid-friendly, when as Sacha Baron Cohen stated, it would've made so much sense to make a realistic biopic of the darker side of Freddie (as well as the lighter side)
@@Harvester236 I think rocketman is more like Elton john musical than a Elton John biopic
Bland and factually inaccurate.
I love this movie and I love Queen, but I hate 14 y.o. lgbt girls, that became Queen fans because of the movie and because Freddie is gay.
Guten Dark yeah, totally agree with you man
I don't like Queen anymore. I have listened to The Beatles and realised that Queen isn't so good.
You make fantastic points. These are all things I agree with and it’s unfortunate because I wanted this film to be so much better as Mercury and the band deserved so much better. It’s incredible how formulaic this film is and how much of a drag it can be. The director hodgepodge is so easily visible it’s staggering that they didn’t try to cut the film down to be shorter. It’s so bloated, like you said, and there is isn’t enough going on but there’s also TOO much of going on.
Couldn't get past the bad wigs and Rami's blue eyes!
Hi. You really got me at the "Wikipedia part". I was rewatching the film and yeah...it could really be based on Wikipedia whoops😂
i really hate how the actors are so good but they don't have a good movie to show that
raimi malek is a perfect Freddie Mercury, acts, talks and dances like Freddie, but his character in the movie don't feel like Freddie AT ALL
I don’t think it was necessarily bad, but just heavily overrated. I think movies like Walk the Line and Rocketman are heavily superior
Just watch Love & Mercy as a reference for a music biopic that places emphasis on scenes depicting the creative process and exploring the emotional depth of a character while following an unpredictable past/present narrative focusing on two key contrasting periods of the subject's life essentially cutting the linear wikipedia bullshit narrative and selling of an over-inflated and predictable rise to glory arc that dumbs everything down just to make it accessible to the most casual consumer of music. To this day, i have no idea what any of Queen's songs actually meant to Freddie because his creative process as depicted in this movie is just "...hmm..that's good"
Agreed, mate
This movie was so disrespectful to Freddie Mercury. It paved over so much. Why do you think Sacha Baron Cohan stepped down from the role of Freddie?
Because, Sacha knew that, it was Brian May pulling the strings, and the script was done to tarnish Freddies image, and portray the others as angels in comparison. OK the film we have is bland, but there are blatant lies in the script. OK artistic can be used, but don't paint Freddie as a manager sacking, party first, Queen second, and band breaking up artist. There are quite a few people who believe that Brian May has grudges over Freddies fame,although he was talented in his own right. Smile was Brian and Rogers band, but the name Queen and the logo was all Freddie. Ask the casual music fan, who do you think of when you mention Queen, it'll be Freddie. Of course he mourned his friend, but now Brian is in charge, just like he always wanted.
Rami did the best he could but yet I believe it wasn't a part suited for him. He does sort of have that Freddie exotic look but only because of his Egyptian origins. He didn't really get Freddies manerisms or accent, after all Freddie was a Parsi of Indian origin from Zanzibar and schooled in India. Rami seemed almost like a pharaoh in his stance "no pun intended". If you look at Freddie in his private videos or interviews, he was very delicate and only mildly sarcastic, not very fierce looking and rigid but at the same time strong, charismatic. I think Rami is a good actor just not for this part. Personally, I am convinced that Sasha Baron Cohen would have nailed Freddies part and being British, would have also nailed Freddie's speech. Have a look at that Australian, Freddie impersonator that acted in a recent documentary about Freddie, he got Freddies mannerism almost perfect and even looks a lot more like Freddie than Rami. The guy who played Brian May was actually the best resemblance to an original band member and even sounds like Brian. Freddies Irish boyfriend nailed his small part in the film too.
Rami was AMAZING on stage, when he was performing HR BECAME FREDDIE MERCURY, however when he was just being Freddie I was always thinking to myself...was Freddie THIS effeminate all the time? How did Mary Austin not know he was gay?? Are u serious??? In interviews and stuff Freddie does look delicate and all but not THAT much, guy was practically a girl !!!
I mean I GUESS he was... Roger and Bryan produced the film and were deeply involved in it... If they saw something so inaccurate they would've said something, right?
Sebastian Pineda Not if they were trying to make themselves look good.
I love the Lo-Fi in the Backround
To this day is with they would’ve used sacha Baron Cohen as Freddie
Don’t @ me please remember everyone has their own opinion this is mine
Bohemian Rhapsody brung a whole new generation to Queen. Also Rami ,Joe ,Gwillm ,and Ben did an amazing job portraying the band. Sure it didn’t show every little thing about Queen but half the people watching the movie knew the whole storyline, and people who didn’t know Queens story found out the storyline. People really just need to stop nit picking everything, It’s extremely rude for the people who made this movie and the actors, because not everyone knows how hard they worked to even make this movie happen if you want to know since 2015 or 2014. The producer and the editor even spoke out that they wish they could have gone back and fixed everything the vid spoke about. I’ve also heard some people saying that they cut to short between shots, the editors had to give 5 second screen time for each person, and you were saying that the movie was bloated and overlong they have millions of deleted scenes due to that they didn’t want to make the movie boring or over long and dramatic.

I would also like to congratulate Bohemian Rhapsody for their awards (Oscars, Golden Globes, BAFTA, and many more
exactly !! I don't understand why people (and me 8 months ago) were so toxic about this movie, sure it's not picture perfect, but at least it bought a whole new generation to Queen, I don't like when people say: "Freddie would've hated this" it's like, and how would you know if Freddie would hate it or not? anyways... I agree with you!
Thank goodness someone agrees with me and personally I think Freddie would love this I love the impact this movie had on our generation
Did you make the movie
Was very disappointed with the film, don't really know what I was expecting though. Great video!
i found the first half of the movie terrible. it lacked any clear narrative or point, really. They could have gone into the early days and the whole Norman Sheffield debacle, but they decided to make the whole first half of the movie about “Queen made albums and toured in the 1970s”. Some of the small details were inaccurate. The Second half of the movie was at least coherent
kvjc7398 At least it was well casted, but it was just so poorly written. I guarantee that any hardcore fan of Queen hated this movie.
I've loved queen all my life, I hate this film, i think it makes Freddie look the villain due to its historical inaccuracies, specifically referring to the solo album announcement scene.
But I think you are wrong about studio interference.... there is an interview with sasha baron Cohen (might be spelt wrong) where he said that when he auditioned for the role the film was barely gonna be about freddie at all and he would die half way through and the rest of the film was gonna focus on how the band went from strength to strength after his passing (how strength to strength is classified by dueting with substandard boy bands and never creating an original number 1 single ever again, is beyond me)
Shit film
I thought the movie was amazing... it’s my favorite, but they did get a lot wrong, but it is still AMAZING
i feel like Remi Malek haven’t watched single interview of Freddie
i’m curious what you think of rocketman though!
I wasn't really disappointed because I didn't expect much from it to begin with. Granted, Rami Malek is a great actor, but Freddie Mercury? No way. Also, a biopic about someone who died not thirty years ago, and whose work and presence have no faded one bit is, IMO, an exercise in futility. The movie is nothing but an overly extended video clip and concert recreation. If I want to hear Freddie sing at Live Aid, I'll watch the actual concert, not someone lipsyncing to his songs...
Why is malek sounds and act like a weird drunk guy? Freddie is a soft spoken guy, but malek sounds like a raspy stoner
One thing this movie got wrong was the end where Freddy tells the rest of the band that he had AIDS, at "Live Aid" um I don't think so Live Aid was in 1985, and Freddy Mercury wasn't diagnosed with AIDS until 1997, 2 years after Live Aid. Now that's not to say Freddy didn't have HIV, in fact it's very likely he did have the virus, but AIDS is a very slow progressive disease, even after the initial infection, patients usually didn't develop symptoms for 8 to 10 years.
Wait, he died in 1991 and Live Aid was in 1985 and he got diagnosed on 1987, not '97.
@@dec3322 either way the movie is still wrong.
Master Destroyo I think it was a typo
I'm so glad I typed 'Bohemian Rhapsody sucks' into the search bar and found your channel (and was able to lightly stalk your Letterboxd account). I am genuinely so confused about how much recognition this movie is getting. I expected the people who don't pay attention to editing and dialogue to enjoy this movie mostly for nostalgic reasons. However, the fact that this flaming garbage of a movie is gaining traction in awards season is just baffling to me. Thank you for your great critiques; loved the video!
Totally agree. Seems like people will eat up anything thrown at them nowadays. Weird....... the only reason this movie was release now was to make some money off gay icon Freddie Mercury due to the gay rights movement now.. A total waste of time. Queen deserves better, but then again i'd rather watch a documentary any day.. Bio pics of singers never work.
I came here by typing Bohemian Rhapsody sucks too
Becca about the “people who don’t pay attention to editing...” yea this movie won an Oscar for editing.... to simply put it, it should not have
I've actually love the movie and thought it really portray queens to everyone who doesn't know the band that much.....also I believe Freddy wasn't particularly gay, just bisexual....I mean sure it shows him with men but he really thinks of his first love to be his only love while the rest is just him having fun and going with the flow
Lmao, fuck you all.
A fucking great movie that won 4 oscars, the movie who won the most in all of it.
You can put your opinion in o
your asses, nobody cares about 1000 people over millions that liked it.
it's hollywood you see what you get..
Can't believe this won an award and Rocketman didn't
I watched that shit last night how the fuck this won anything besides a razzy for the years most boring the dirt will be far superior as a rock biopic
This movie could have been truly good if they weren’t determined to qualify for a PG13 rating. The coke, weed and sexual exploits being honestly explored would have made it a better movie.
This video has definitely aged well. Bohemian Rhapsody is just a terrible film.
I liked this movie but they messed up the fucking timeline and made Freddie look like a total asshole,but in reality he wasn't,also where's David bowie in this movie?other things were great though
This movie stand's only on the fans love for queen and rami maleks performance.
Rami Malek's performance was actually pretty shotty and everybody's afraid to say it. He talks like he is drugged or brain damaged. He completely lacks Freddie's lively demeanor and charisma. The teeth were severely overdid, and overall he looked like a cosplay.
@@CornyTelecaster49 Sure, that was a bad choice on the directing department though. For what he was given I think he did a pretty good job honestly.
I loved it I know some things are wrong but god damn I will forever love it
It was really good
Thanks mate keep the freddie legacy alive
@Randy Burton okay, that's too far.
Bluebird Azurite they are probably talking about BrYan Singer, he is a known sexual predator so I get people’s anger about the film..
I’d say this movie is good though I’m confused about one thing (not the movie)
Why in the floof on the radio do they put We will rock you and We are the champions together?
Good video! And I disagree in one point -- Ramy Malek was awful in this. I felt like watching an overly long episode of "The Mini Playback-Show" (a German TV-Show where kids performed songs by famous artists). Even the lip-synching was bad. And about 90% of the whole movie was pure fantasy not based in reality. Why I wonder? Was the story of one of the greatest bands of all times not interesting enough?
Even "Spinal Tap" was better than this movie. Or "Hardcore Logo" -- and those were mockumentaries.
I really hope I will forget about it in a month but those false teeth might be forever stuck in my memory.
I love this comment.💀 Couldn't agree more. 👌
4 stars out of 10 is being generous. Bohemian Rhapsody is proof that you don't have to be a rocket scientist to make a lousy movie.
That's exactly what I was expecting based on the trailer. So I'mma take your word for it and skip this.
Zachary see if for your self and form an opinion
@@DoktorSkipper
No. It doesn't deserve that based on the trailers and reviews.
Zachary the trailers don’t depict the entirety of a movie by trailers and reviews can be subjective, ( The Last Jedi For Example ) if you want you can be a sheep you can but giving it a chance and seeing if you subjectively like something might surprise your expectations
@@DoktorSkipper
Well, the Last Jedi was trash. But regardless, I don't have a responsibility to give every movie that comes out a chance. They have a responsibility to make the movie look worth seeing in the trailer.
Zachary some reviews on movies are shit, the new Halloween movie had a 75% on rotten tomatoes but it sucked ass and the only reason it has is because it was “ nostalgic”
rocketman is everything bohemiam rhapsody could have been
Man i agree with u 100% and respect u for speaking of ur opinion. Never follow anyone unless ur convinced
The movie never wants you to sympathize with Freddie,
it wants you to sympathize with 2 of the band members.
(Definitely not the gay one...)
Oh, and: "You're a legend, freddie." into "We're all legends." *barf*
ImaginaryMdA EXACTLY!!!! Thank god for rocketman!!!
ImaginaryMdA don’t you dare calling *F R E D D I E* the „gay one“, you uncultured swine
@@MelvinDolan lol
I think if Dexter Fletcher was the director from the start, it would’ve been better
One of the few good things that came out of the movie was the soundtrack cd. Finally a queen album that has the hits. You don't have to have a collection that has "Don't stop me now" and something like "I'm in love with my car."
Rami malek doesn’t even sing. The live aid at the end they left out two songs lol
Michael Smitt What can Rami do that he doesn’t have Freddie’s voice? Like no one have freddie’s voice
I really should watch it. However it's the truncation of time that puts me off,and I do realise it's for dramatic effect,but for me personally that's usually why I stick to documentarys.
I might get around to it one day it's that suspension of belief which is ok for fiction but I can't seen to do with historical films you know where America finds enigma device or how cowardly crew members shot passengers.
The worst thing about this movie is, that those 12 year olds are thinking that Queen is the only band in the galaxy and Freddie the perfect "God" Don't get me wrong. Queen is great, but got overrated because of that.
I quite enjoyed to see the movie but I can see how hardcore and devoted fans of the band feel like this is as not great. So I will say as a mildish fan who enjoys and loves to listen that yes i enjoyed and probably would watch it again but I will not force it on someone who is strong about their opinion.
Also it could be glossed due to only two ( from what I heard ) members of the band being involved so not all is true, just true to them.
Hope you all are safe and good and have a lovely day 😁
MY BROTHER MADE ME SIT THROUGH A 2 HOUR LONG MOVIE AND IT WAS THE MOST BORING MOVIE IVE EVER SEEN😡
Good thing it's about the movie I bet if it was about the song it would have millions of dislikes
Queen fan here, and I wholeheartedly agree with you...
I was just waiting for the Live Aid concert.
Say what you will about the movie and its historical inaccuracies or band breakup/reunion cliches (which never even actually happened), but for me personally this movie was a big deal. I was excited to see it, and when I came out of the theaters, that was the moment I knew, I was a rock 'n' roller. And once you're in it, you're in it for life.

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
ik it’s superrrr inaccurate but i’ll always love this movie i’m sorry!! i honestly just try to cut out the whole inaccuracy because it’s really enjoyable for me when i’m not thinking of that.
I’d love a Pink Floyd movie, just not done like this.
Watch Roger Water's The Wall. Or Pink Floyd's The Wall.
Guanglai Kangyi, Age 15 I have seen The Wall movies, they’re great. I’d like to see a movie that starts with the Syd Barrett years and continues to show his mental downturn, and the movie would show the band continuing, and attaining success with the release of DSOTM. But the movie could end with the making of the Wish You Were Here album and with Syd Barrett’s shocking return. Or, the whole movie could be about the creative difficulties of making the Wish You Were Here album, because that was really the last album where every band member had input, so it was THE turning point for the band.
I think John blunt should have played Freddie I dont like how rami looks as freddie, the accent sounds forced, the casts are great people but when it comes to looks, I'm not too impressed
the movie was more about Freddie then the actual band that's why its more about him. while I would have rather seen a movie about all of them, 100% thought the movie I think this movie is fine!
Made In Heaven and Killer Queen are the true songs deserving the fame that Bohemian Rhapsody received
Because you fucking watch jojo’s
@@Theglorg Yes I watch jojo, but jojo helped me develop a better taste for music which introduced me to queen and eventually lead me to my current favorite: Eric Hutchinson
Also I genuinely think the two songs are better, not because I am a jojo fan
4:55 have you even read his wikipedia page. They made so much stuff up for the movie. Things you won’t find on wikipedia. THERE WAS MORE.
