I admit that I am not a fan of Queen, although I appreciate their talent and their body of work. Freddy Mercury was undoubtedly a charismatic performer and has rightfully earned his legendary status. However, this actor comes nowhere near to conveying Mercury as I remember him. Just donning a pair of false teeth does not do it, for me. As for the script and direction, to me it adopts all of the worst cliches of biopics. So much so that it was laughable. I really cannot understand the support that this film as experienced. I may be in a minority, but sorry, for me it was a complete dud.
