Simply a STUNNING film. I don't give a rat's patoot about Sascha Baron Cohen wanting a more R-rated "sex-and-cocaine" version of Freddie's life --- that would've been demeaning to the optimism and passion of Freddie's world view and Queen's timeless music. The last 20 minutes with the Live Aid concert was SPECTACULAR --- best IMAX experience I ever had in 20+ years of movie watching !!

Only one redeeming scene

I remember renting this on VHS in 1986 just as I entered puberty. Needless to say, I wasn't interested in the plot or moral theme. Just the sight of the gorgeous and buxom Monique Gabrielle on the box cover was all I needed to plunk down the $2.00 cash to take it home, pull down the undies, and watch my sweet Monique in a fully nude scene give some lucky guy his ultimate sexual fantasy! The nude scene was borderline X-rated which kinda surprised me since I was able to rent it without any hassle from the video store clerk. Good memories of a horny teenage youth in small boring town.
