Movie Review – Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen Will Rock You
—
Read Time:1 Minute, 31 Second
Tears — check. Racing heart — check. Goose pimples — check. Foot stomping good fun — check. A deeper appreciation for a beloved musician and band — double check.
I love Queen’s music; always have, but I’ll be honest: I knew nothing about the band members and their story, and I’m glad I didn’t, because it made this movie so much more enjoyable not knowing. (And I won’t ruin that for you in this review.)
Any discussion of this film must begin with Rami Malek’s outstanding performance as Freddie Mercury. For a role that relied so deeply on voice, it was his expressions — especially his eyes — that told the story. I could go on with platitudes and adjectives, but let’s just say, “He rocked it,” and move on.

The pacing was spot on. There was just enough of each dramatic scene to get the impact without dragging.
The director Bryan Singer (the guy who did the good X-Men movies) showed he can direct a movie to an emotional crescendo just as well — perhaps even better — than he can end with climatic action.
This is a movie with no room for improvement. I see a lot of movies and that’s not something I can often say.
Grade: A+
About The Peetimes: RunPee Vera and I worked together on these Peetimes. I think we came up with four good options, nicely spaced out in the movie. And we worked extra hard to avoid the music montage scenes.
There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Bohemian Rhapsody. (What we mean by Anything Extra.)
What people are saying about the RunPee app.
Single best investment
By and far best investment Ive made. I used to drive my husband nuts because Id be a fidgeting mess the last half hour of the movie trying not to miss important parts. Now I just turn this app on and *bam* I can actually focus on the movie the whole time. Even puts alerts to my watch so even better. Also I can guarentee all the 5 reviews arent fake as one person accused – its just that so many of us movie-goers had the same problem and this fixed it. Yes, it is paid but jeeze its expensive to keep watching movies and updating an app for every movie. And if you read more about the creator he mentions he has several people contributing – so yeah its paid but omg worth every cent. 10/10
Developers note: the RunPee app is now, and always will be, 100% free. Donations are optional.

Yes this movie has been out a while, and frankly I got it from Netflix. Since I rip all my DVDsI’ve had the joy of watching this 750,000 times, and thankfully can schedule my own pee times. Absolutely wonderful movie. I grew up with Queen. I grew up in the era of the AIDS chaos, the fear , and friends dying from the disease, most because of IV drug use.
It wasn’t pretty but the music of Queen gave a brilliant, thoughtful escape. Even the song suicide, was a wake up call to millions. A song woefully shoved away behind the anthem Another One Bites the Dust.
I rarely go on about celebrities or music. And being a bible thumper, it is out of character for me to stand behind a singer, group and lyrics like this. But it can not be denied, they were and are talented, plus made a difference. -
I thought Bohemian Rhapsody was wonderful, I was blown away by it. There are a few artistic licenses taken with the film and the timeline is a bit changed from the reality but the cinematography was amazing and the Live Aid scene was just wonderful. The casting was perfect, especially the Brian May casting. I’m glad Sasha Baron Cohen didn’t do the Freddie role , Rami was great !
