Was the movie good? Should we go see it? (I'm a big fan of Queen)

I liked it a lot. Probably one of my more favorite musical artist movies along the lines of say Ray, Rock Star, Straight Outta Compton, ect...

I liked that based on today's climate they brought up his bisexuality and his issues in dealing with it but not in a overly dramatic way but in a way to facilitate the story in the movie and how it affected his relationship with his parents, his girlfriend then wife, and in some cases the personal and professional relationships he entered into. I really liked some of the "behind the song" bits in the movie. IMO they nailed down the story of how the band formed, how they got a deal, how they moved on from that deal, how they broke up, and how they got back together to pull off that ending with the Live Aid concert in 1985. I don't know how the singing was done but my man really got down a lot of Freddie Mercury's mannerisms.

Thanks! I saw the movie last night. It was FANTASTIC. IMO, Remi Malek deserves an Oscar for "Best Actor" after his portrayal of Freddie Mercury. WOW! The Live Aid scenes were sensational, maybe the best I've ever seen in any movie, anywhere.

For those that are fans of Queen this is a MUST see movie. For those who just like Rock 'N Roll, it's still a must see. I highly recommend it to anyone with a pulse.
