We are not the Champions!!
6 January 2022
So I finally sat down and watched this movie with my son. He started to love queen recently and my girlfriend heard of queen but only recognizes a few songs. I listened to Queen and could recognize they had a unique talent outside of just music. They could bring audiences in with something no one has ever heard. Freddie voice you could hear in the stadium without a microphone. It was powerful.

The movie came out in 2018, i didn't watch it till the end of 2021. I waited to see it. I knew just what i would see. Disaster. They did the same thing they did with wonder-woman 1984 (and that was leap years better). They made the 80's and. 70s look too neat and pure. Im not sure what they thought when they made this movie. Maybe kids were going to watch it. But even Freddie sexuality seems like it was forced. Never really talked about and all of sudden he is kissing a guy. Next thing you know he is leaving his girl and saying he is by sexual. I mean where were the plot with that?

Also where is the good guy, bad guy or any character that was explained. They did mentioned he was from India. But when when they showed his parents they didn't explain anything just that his dad didn't like what he was doing. Seemed forced. Nothing really to add to the movie.

And everything was too right. Every-time a decision got made it was always the right decision. No ups and downs (the 70s and 80s were filled with a lot of them). And they really didn't go over any of the band history. Fights seemed staged even for a movie. Conversations didn't seem real. And for goodness can we have some comedy a little. I didn't find the film once amusing. These are the British they had a sense of humor.

The worst part about the whole film is its clean. Why when show scenes in 80s movies apartments and people look so clean. Have they seen the mid 70s to mid 80s. The big cities had trash a lot of places and people didn't shave a lot. Where are the drugs, the women and so on. People looked natural. I can't believe the ratings i see on this crap. Try making a movie and keeping it nice. Or stay out of that generation. The doors was better than this movie. I would give it a 1, but movies now come in dolby atmos and dolby vision so thats worth a 4.
