So generic

Good music, but such a formulaic biopic. Maybe because I'm a little older, and see the pattern in these films as they get released every few years, but this isn't anything fresh unless you're young enough to not have been exposed to all the others. Ray, Ali, Walk the Line, La Bamba, Selina, Straight Outta' Compton.... The list goes on and on. They want to make these movies fan friendly, so they seldom scrape the gritty reality that are people's lives. The music in this was good, but it's Queen, so of course it is. Other than that, this will be forgotten in a year like all the rest.

Agreed. I kept thinking this was really poorly executed and told throughout the experience. Interesting acting and Queen alone demands attention. but the movie is a far cry for good craftsmanships. I felt it was rescued in the editing room, to avoid tanking completely. Not a good movie, by any means.
