Bohemian Rhapsody

I always was a fan of Queen and this movie about Freddie Mercury was amazing. The acting was superb. I cry every time I watch it.

Love this Freddy Mercury /Queen movie! Music is awesome, story heartbreaking, powerful, warm and sweet. Recommend highly to anyone that loves Queen music! Learned a lot about their story I never knew before.

Excellent movie about Freddy and the biggest band of all time

Really Good

Good movie

I wanted to see this movie when it was in the theater but did not get a chance to go so I bought the DVD on Amazon, years later may I add. I have watched it and watched it and watched it. Not just for the exceptional acting, but for the music. I love and appreciate Queen more now than even back in the '80s. I can't get enough of their music now. I am so glad the story was finally told! Not just about Freddie Mercury but the other members of Queen and their friends and families. What a GREAT story. Brian and Roger did a fantastic job getting all the facts and music and everything together for this movie. It showed how they actually made the song Bohemian Rhapsody. It is a masterpiece. It shows every strong point of every band member. Brian/ John /Roger all doing their part and when it came together WOW did it come together!! Freddie was so ahead of his time with ideas for writing lyrics and how to mix the music and harmony and fading in and out in stereo back and forth from one headphone to the other. All of QUEEN, EVERY MEMBER contributed to all of their music all of their albums, all of their ideas. So, take my advice. Get the movie. Watch the movie. I guarantee you won't watch it only one time and then you may also enjoy listening to the soundtrack from the movie on Amazon music!! Jane E VANN Live Aid was so important in 1985 and Queen made a monstrous impact on the money donated for those starving little mouths. Being an American I did not realize how much Queen contributed to that day until I saw this movie.

It's been a new time for biopics in the last year, but this is one that I recall hearing about ever since Rami Malek was even rumored for a Queen film. He doesn't look EXACTLY like Freddie Mercury as a civilian himself, but this has been a casting choice long debated about in forums due to his unique look. Then it actually happened, and Rami was going to play Freddie Mercury in a biopic about the career of Queen and subsequently its frontman who died of AIDS related complications in the early 90s. If you're like me and have only heard the hits and knew the basics of the story, you're still going to have a good time with Bo Rhap. I was surprised to see that critics actually were middle of the road on this film after I've heard so much about it and Rami's performance in the film. I guess I should say I'm not surprised really that critics didn't enjoy a movie that the common person did, but rather it was touted as one of the better films of the year with apparently very little critic support. While I did really enjoy this film, I think it's much to the credit of Malek's performance as Mercury. It's what I often call a 10/10 performance in an otherwise 7/10 film. If you're a fan of Queen though, you will most likely love this film. Bo Rhap plays as essentially a greatest hits re-enactment, fortunately blessed by the embodiment of Mercury by Rami Malek. I don't know a ton about Freddie Mercury but I've seen enough pictures and clips over the years to know that his physical presence on stage was not only incomparable, but also extremely pronounced. For an actor that usually plays more timid characters, thinking of Mr. Robot, Rami does an incredible job of doing everything short of actually being Freddie Mercury. The look is down pat, the awareness of his teeth throughout the film is a character unto itself, and the progression of his attitude throughout is captured so well. From the moment he joins the band, we get renditions of the classics through the years starting with Killer Queen. Then the titular song, and on down the list. An incredible scene with a cameo from a Queen-related actor sets up probably the best punch the film has, which is during the Live Aid performance. For a non-comedy, I laughed so hard at the clip during one of the songs. I had also never seen the original performance, but after watching the film I went back and watched it on YouTube. It gave me chills how accurate and exact they captured that performance, and it was the first thing they filmed! I was a bit worried prior to watching the film that they would gloss over Freddie's personal life for sake of avoiding controversy, and then even more so when I saw what looked like a Shakespeare play playing in the background in the opening scene of the family home. After that, the movie is not subtle in tackling the subject matter of sexuality, but it also doesn't take it to the edge of gratuity like most rock and roll biopics would. However, this does result in a lack of emotional range considering my lack of emotional attachment to the band prior. I expected to shed a tear or two by the end of the film, but really the most unexpected scene of him being confronted by his fiancee with his sexuality was the closest it got to sad, but it was because of his pride in the performance he'd put into the song that was made for her. Otherwise, I was a little disappointed in the film for that reason, because I think a little more emotional punch really would have rounded out the movie well. But then I was talking about it the next day and realized that this is likely what Freddie wouldn't have wanted. In the film (which of course is not reality, but all I have to go off of), he says that he didn't want to be the poster boy for AIDS, and he didn't want all of the "woe is me" over him dying. He tells the band he wants to still be the greatest performer that ever lived, and thus the movie was put into perspective by its own main character. The film serves as a 2+ hour performance within a performance, as Rami navigates the troubled life of Mercury and shows how he was constantly breaking out of himself with his very flamboyant style and attitude, but never felt secure with who he was. For a movie with a guy wearing goofy dentures, it really could have been a dud. Rami's performance carries this movie on his shoulders entirely, while wearing a white tank and the tightest pair of jeans with a studded belt you've ever seen. It would have been cool to have a commentary from the remaining band members present to assist with the film, and maybe even the director, but it seems that would have been troublesome considering the falling out of Bryan Singer. The 4K, Blu-ray, and digital copies were all included in this release, and the case has a really great colorful cover that suits the film well. If anything, watch it for the well-deserved Best Actor of 2018 because it's a performance you don't want to miss. Now excuse me while I go listen to the Queen discography, because now all I want to do is jam!

Killer band! Killer movie!

Très bon film

Una buena película sobre Queen. Gracias

Ottima qualità video e audio

Keurig verpakt, op tijd geleverd. Met plezier bekeken

Tuve la fortuna de ver esta película en el cine, y fue espectacular... el final es asombroso... me dejó sin palabras. Mi hermana estuvo insistiendo en que quería que le consiguiera esta película, porque tiene características especiales... ella la ha visto más veces que yo. Aún no se la entrego porque no vive en la misma ciudad que yo. En cuanto se la dé, actualizaré la información... estoy 100% seguro de que le va a encantar. Tanto ella como yo detestamos ver las películas dobladas al español, ésta viene con subtítulos en inglés SDH, francés y español. Edición de Blu-ray + DVD + copia digital (ésa última no nos importa). Llegó dos días antes de la fecha programada. ¡Muchas gracias, Amazon México! Excelente servicio, como de costumbre.
