Movie Matinee Madness - Bohemian Rhapsody

Well after a Star is Born during the week and Neil Armstrong's story in First Man, it has been a big week for me and the movies last week. So the question y'all want to know, was Bohemian Rhapsody any good?

Hell Yes, here is the trailer for some of the cinema magic, pure magic!



Rami Malek is outstanding as Mercury and the supporting cast are equally excellent. The story, the music, the challenges faced by Mercury and the group was intense. The film was long and the Live Aid concert at the end was a little lengthy but the story was one that needed to be told. Mercury and Queen really created and amazing sound with more recreations than Kylie and Madonna in a much shorter time period.

Everything about my love of music and the stories behind songs and how they happened was told in this remarkable ode to a band who I never loved, hated the We Will Rock You musical, but gosh I can admire their hard work and determination now.

Bryan Singer in the Me Too era is a questionable director and also someone who usually focuses their time on superhero films, so to me that was a strange pick but other than that, this was pretty special.

Event cinema is common at present with Crazy Rich Asians and a Star is Born slaying at the box office and getting loads of folks to premium sessions but this is also event cinema.

What a great Sunday afternoon at the cinema I had, 4 stars.
