Three because I love Queen's music -- they are one of the top iconic groups of the 70s and truly changed rock music forever. Mercury was as much a genius as he was self-destructive. What I couldn't stomach was Rahi's portrayal making Mercury some poof with a bad London drawl -- wearing out 'Daaaaah-ling' like he invented it. All I could think of was Phyllis Diller smoking her cigarette like Cruella DeVille. I thought it was insulting to Freddie to have that stupid characterization of him. I would have thought this could be a 10 if it confined the story to the band and music development rather than the weak portrayal of a bad series of 'celebrity booze/drug parties' that were about as exciting as a nursing home birthday party -- with people who dressed like eccentric nursing home patients. Mercury 'the legend' was truly every bit Thunder and Lightning combined - and this movie failed to deliver on portraying his talent, his drive and his legendary concert performance. Instead this script prioritized his weakness, his confusion, his emotional struggles and his sexual indiscretions. Now there are one too many such movies and I still feel like I missed the boat on what could have been a great tour. Thankfully, I saw Queen in concert more than once. I was hoping to relive those amazing performances through this production but it fell quite short of what that band deserved for this to be an homage.

Too explicitly, so boring I don't recommend this crap
