Like Queen, Critics Just Don't Get Bohemian Rhapsody - It Wasn't Made For Them!

MOVIE REVIEW - Like the band Queen this movie, Bohemian Rhapsody, is being panned by its critics. This two plus hour rock-flick is not the best telling of the story of Freddy Mercury or the history of Queen, but it’s the best telling of this story you are going to get with a PG13 rating.

Because of the rating, aspects of the story are only hinted at and glossed over. It’s a glimpse into the life of Freddy Mercury, a life that was filled with mystery. A lot of that mystery is still unanswered after seeing this movie but the viewer will be taken on a music filled 15 year ride through the 1970’s and 80’s.
