Queen: Mercury Rising (2011)
Excellent insight into Queen's story, except...
I think my biggest take away from this movie is - this is a wonderful story of Queens rise to fame, BUT - why why WHY was Eric Hall not left on the cutting room floor? He's rambling, mostly unintelligible, and ultimately irrelevant and extremely omg annoying. I literally FF'ed past his bits. Ugh. He cost the film at least 2 stars. Eric is like a street person that grabs you, starts rambling loudly, and you want to cut your arm off to just get away.
Are You Being Served? (2016)
Casting only about 60% well done, otherwise I like it
So I think they nailed the remake in terms of writing and set. What I think I found missing was some of the personalities lost in bad casting and/or acting.
Mr Humphries seems to have lost his devilish, smarmy smile. That's a huge omission. I also think Humphries could act a little less gay but yet be obvious like Inman did.
Mr Peacock I found to be somehow grumpier and less dapper than Thornton.
Mrs Slocomb was just ok
Miss Brahams as well - just ok
Mr Grainger was spot on as well as Mr Rumbold, understanding it's hard to find that Nicolas Smith look
The new, actual young Mr Grace could stand to make his annoying self less involved.
