so i can only assume this movie is prob a lazy puff piece.
I think you’re dead on. I’ll go to see it just to hear Queen’s music in a movie theater. I’m sure Malik did an awesome job but it’s a damn near impossible task to pull off Freddie Mercury or any larger than life personality like that from the ‘80s or later simply because we’ve all seen the real thing in his prime.

I can pull up a great hd video of the Live Aid concert right now so it’s tougher to recreate that. If it was Elvis or Jackie Wilson, for example, there would be much more value in a movie “bringing it to life” because the media quality wasn’t nearly as good back then.

Good point. I appreciate his talent but you’re right, I can watch him on YouTube anytime and I’m not interested in his personal life.

Malekseems like a good choice to me, and to the poster who asked about height, I never thought of Mercury as a very big guy.

Malek is 5’ 9”
