“WE WANT IT all. We want it all. We want it all and we want it now!” Finally, finally, finally the film we have been waiting 30 or so years to be made and released is at last opening this weekend. Unfortunat­ely we have heard some not so great things and some really not so great things about the (essentiall­y) Freddie Mercury biopic, ranging from the lack of accuracy in the portrayal of events to the casting. However, it’s a film about Queen, featuring all their greatest hits on the big screen for two hours. We cannot see how we are not going to like it. You want pinpoint reality – watch a documentar­y. This is a celebratio­n of one of the greatest musicians and one of the most influentia­l bands in history. Sit back and clap along. It will rock you. Rotten tomatoes gives it 60% trivia: Before settling on rami malek, sacha Baron cohen and Ben Whishaw Were supposed to play mercury
