Bohemian Rhapsody might not have been able to tell the whole Freddie Mercury or Queen story nor was able to set the facts straight. But what this movie did though, and that’s the most important thing, is that it brought back Queen. Read more

From nearly every aspect of the film, it excels. From the impressive performance of Rami Malek to the very way the film is shot and put together is all pretty memorable.

This is a film that grabs you and propels you through the story at a fast lick. It’s a surprisingly moving story, with a well-known and tragic finale. Read more

Bohemian Rhapsody may not give you any more knowledge about who Freddie Mercury truly was and what truly drove him to seek success, but it remains a highly potent piece of entertainment, particularly for fans, both hardcore and casual, of Queen’s music and ability to power up the largest of crowds.

Even with its shortcomings though, the film is still entertaining and will keep you invested. If you simply take Bohemian Rhapsody for what it is, it’s a mostly good time at the movies. Read more

A stellar performance by Rami Malek is at times lost by a paint-by-numbers plot.

Although there are plenty of problems with the film itself, Rami Malek’s extraordinary performance makes this a film you absolutely should see... Read more

Factual liberties are taken, timelines are sometimes carelessly misrepresented, and there’s a totally needless gag from Mike Myers, but whenever Bohemian Rhapsody is most unsteady, Queen’s music is there for a bailout. Read more

It’s really well paced, the performances are great, recreations of famous performances are excellently done and it hits the major beats that Queen fans would expect. Read more

These hits, and the way Malek is able to capture Mercury’s persona and eccentricities, should be enough to gloss over the film’s flaws and ensure a fun ride for anyone interested in being reminded of Queen’s musical prowess. Read more

Bohemian Rhapsody is ostentation, offering limited musical insights and dramatic tension within a stereotyped approach. Queen’s burning music is all that's left. Read more

Despite a strong performance by Malek, Bohemian Rhapsody plays out as an excessively sanitized version of Queen's story, rather than a labor of love. Read more

Rami Malek and the film thrive when the volume is turned up and the microphones are on. It withers when it stifles that provocative heat. Allowing something this hot to go lukewarm is a cinematic crime. Read more

De film loopt perfect door het verhaal heen, met goede muziek op de juiste plaatsen. En Rami Malek vertolkt zijn rol zo goed dat het een schande was geweest als hij de Oscar niet gewonnen had.

Als liefhebber van Queen, de muziek en de iconische bandleden is Bohemian Rhapsody verplicht kijkvoer.

Bohemian Rhapsody zit vol met momenten waar ik een brok van in mijn keel kreeg, maar er is ook ruimte voor romantiek en humor. Een emotionele rollercoaster mag de film dan ook zeker genoemd worden, maar de balans is wel op orde.

Rami Malek zet één van de prestaties van het jaar neer als Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. Of de film een lasting performance kan neerzetten, zal de tijd uitwijzen, maar het regisseerwerk kon beter voor deze legendarische rockband. Read more

De klapper is toch wel Rami Malek als Freddie. Niet zijn uiterlijk maar de acteerprestatie die hier wordt neergezet is bijzonder. Read more

De resulterende uitbuiting van conventies is een continue nekslag voor iedere poging van Rami Malek om een authentieke versie van Mercury neer te zetten. Read more
