> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > Is it that the interviews were scripted or that the reporters all ask the exact same questions? I think it’s the latter. His answers were I would say not so much scripted as rehearsed (or repeated endlessly). His answers from different shows could be seamlessly edited together. ---

I couldn’t disagree more. Sure it wasn’t a masterpiece of cinema, but I think some sort of hard hitting down in the gutter drama is the only thing that would have kept some of the critics happy. > > I personally thought it was a well-made movie and Rami Malek was scarily good as Freddie. I highly recommend anyone go see it, and if you’re a Queen fan it’s a definite must see. A mild bump here. I just — and finally — saw this movie. And _loved_ it! Not knowing much about the band’s story or Freddie’s upbringing or his marriage, and so not having much to compare it to, and also being a big fan of their music, I thought it was very moving and well done. I loved the developing love story of Freddie and Mary Austin. And of course I loved the music too. The air was salty the day I saw it — some of it kept irritating my eyes repeatedly during the movie. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bohemian-rhapsody-queen-biopic/823510.md?page=4)
