Review
Weeeee are the Champions, my friends. Freddie Mercury is Freddie Mercury, and there will never be another, but Rami Malek does a wonderful job capturing his enigmatic, charismatic personality. The Queen members Roger (Ben Hardy), John (Joseph Mazello), Brian (Gwilym Lee) and Mary-Austin (Lucy Boynton) were an amazing supporting cast, and Paul (Allen Leech) was utilized wonderfully in the narrative. But the SONGS. Guys, the songs. Sure, the backstory with Freddie’s parents is great for general knowledge and serves as a heartwarming ending, but LIVE AID. Watch till the end, is all I can say.
