It's a decent trailer, but using Bohemian Rhapsody and We Will Rock You does 80% of the work for any editor, as proven by the Suicide Squad marketing. The actual footage itself doesn't look all that stellar, though I'd love to be proven wrong.

Still the biggest selling point is the band's music and not the movie itself.
Never a good thing.

The wigs are ridiculous, let's start with that. The footage itself is not bad, and some of the visuals are pleasing. But I'm still not convinced that it will be good, and how much it relies on Queen's music to make a splash is worrying. Add that to the directorial mess thing, I don't think it'll be an awards player, nor will Malek.

I've been a detractor of this movie since SBC left the project saying what he said. I hate vanity projects and this looks like Brian May's vanity project, even trying to downplay and erase some of Freddie's personal life from all this. I'm not even sure I'll ever watch it.

Well, he claimed the movie is mostly about how band members cope with the loss of Freddie but in fact, the film actually ends in 1985. And if it's true what I heard from test screenings, it doesn't downplay or erase Freddie's personal life much. It's all speculation some people came up on Twitter based on that short teaser they released.

Not gonna bother unless it gets really good ratings. I'm tired of musician biopics.

So apparently... they're using Malek, Mercury, and a sound-alike for the vocals.
... lol. Why the hell do you have to use a "sound-alike" if you're already gonna be using the ACTUAL person's voice as well?

I never expected this to be a good film, but I always figured it would entertain, and I still figure it will. My general interest in the critical consensus on films is near zero, and it isn't going to change in this case. I'll be watching this at the weekend for sure.

Somehow I missed that Anthony McCarten is the screenwriter here. Of course this was always going to suck and be utterly bland!

I doubt it. GA doesn't care about critics. Look at what happened to Greatest Showman.
