[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

Other than the fact that the actors looked very much like the members of Queen, I found the film rather boring. I did think that Freddie's teeth were over done as was the acting at the beginning of the film. His teeth seemed to get less prominent as the film went on and his acting got better. His teeth looked like a cheap Halloween costume in the first half of the film.

I had read some comments by people who had gone to see it and they talked abut it like it was the greatest rock and roll film ever made. It's a pretty typical biopic of a band.

The beginning was very slow and it did get a bit better as it went along, but it made it seem as though Queen was the greatest and most popular band in the world at the time.

The truth is that they were just another band that was around. No different than Journey, REO Speedwagon or Styx. They really only had a few big hits and those songs were made more popular by their use in a movie and by sports fans around the world.

I'm sure that they had legions of fans, but they weren't the biggest thing at Live Aid as the movie seems to suggest. They were just another band playing that gig.

I'd give the movie a C-. I did learn a bit about Queen and Freddie Mercury that I hadn't known, but I could have gone the rest of my life without knowing it.
