'BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY' SCREENSHOT (L TO R) GWILYM LEE (AS BRIAN MAY) RAMI MALEK (FREDDIE MERCURY) JOSEPK MAZZELLO (JOHN DEACON)
Sometimes
I question the wisdom of so-called movie critics. When Bohemian Rhapsody was
released in early November many reviews were far from favourable. Some said the
film was a sanitized account of Freddie Mercury’s life and should have delved
farther into his sexual escapades. Others took aim at Rhapsody’s accuracy,
while others nixed the acting and musical performances.
Were
these critics watching the same movie as we were? Part bio pic and part rock
concert, Bohemian Rhapsody was 2 hours and 13 minutes of pure enjoyment.
Looking almost like Freddie Mercury, Rami Malek embodied
everything we loved about the legendary rock idol. His wit, his flamboyancy and his
quirks, Malek mastered them all. It’s little wonder he’s been nominated for a Golden Globe Award, as has
the film itself.
Bohemian
Rhapsody filled theatres to maximum capacity and many Scribbles friends
reported that the audience applauded when the show ended. Critics be damned.
This epic production is a champion and it will, it will rock you.
