Sinopsis(1)
Bohemian Rhapsody es una celebración de Queen, su música y su extraordinario cantante, Freddie Mercury. Freddie desafió los estereotipos y las fracturadas convenciones para convertirse en uno de los artistas más queridos del planeta. La película muestra el ascenso meteórico de la banda a través de sus canciones icónicas y su sonido revolucionario. Alcanzan un éxito sin precedentes, pero en un giro inesperado, Freddie, rodeado de influencias más oscuras, deja Queen en pos de su carrera como solista. Después de haber sufrido mucho sin la colaboración de Queen, Freddie logra reunirse con sus compañeros de banda justo a tiempo para Live Aid. Haciendo frente a una enfermedad potencialmente mortal, Freddie lidera la banda en una de las mejores actuaciones en la historia de la música rock. Queen consolida un legado que continúa inspirando a extraños, soñadores y amantes de la música hasta el día de hoy. (20th Century Fox España)

I find it hard to rate this for a number of reasons. Queen are an absolute legend and their music is a true masterpiece. I have seen this happen many times - wherever their music is used, the result is always awesome, so the creators had a much easier job, because no matter how they filmed it, it could never turn into a complete disappointment. The story of this legendary band itself was actually much more dramatic. The movie barely scratches the surface, never cutting to the core. A lot of the things are over-simplified, not just regarding the way it is filmed, but also due to gaping holes in the story. I don’t mind the fact that the rest of the band gets pretty much ignored. Freddie gets all the attention, because (although the creators and especially the living band members/producers probably wanted to convince us otherwise) his story is simply the most interesting one. But even that feels incomplete - I didn't actually learn anything new or fundamental, and it's an even greater shame as the creators had Rami Malek at their disposal, whose rendition of Mercury’s mannerisms and speech was spot on. All the hit songs were written without showing their true inspiration or meaning, they simply came into existence, period. Yes, everything is sort of implied, but none of it is developed in a satisfactory way. The editing is sometimes confusing, or at least I felt that some scenes lacked continuity. Anyway, to get back to the beginning of my review after such a long digression - can you really be disappointed after watching Bohemian Rhapsody? Absolutely not, because even if they screened YouTube videos of their concerts instead of the movie, it would still be an amazing experience thanks to Mercury's perfect singing and his incredible ability to wrap the audience around his finger. And even if you were (theoretically speaking) untouched by Queen's music, the final part at Wembley is something absolutely spectacular, and it is where the emotions really fly high and its energy is so over-whelming that it will draw you in and won't let go.
