This film covering the life of the band Queen has been almost 10 years in the making. Starting with the meeting of Mercury and May and culminating in the 1985 Live Aid concert this film is supposed to be a faithful biopic of events – but how many liberties with the truth have been taken?
I like Queen. I wouldn’t say I’m an avid fan but when my parents bought me my first CD player back in around 1992 the first CD album I bought was Queen’s Greatest Hits Vol 2. I also wouldn’t say that I’m really familiar with the Queen backstory but I have seen a few documentaries on Freddie Mercury and Live Aid so I was interested to see what the film’s take on it was and I have to say I was quite disappointed.
Don’t get me wrong, Rami Malek is very good as Freddie Mercury and the supporting …
