Bohemian Rhapsody Reviews

Bohemian Rhapsody, the new biopic on Queen’s inception and fame, with a leaning on Freddie Mercury’s life, is a cinematic Wikipedia page.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 14, 2024

With great chemistry, the cast delivers a lot of entertaining moments, both musically and dramatically. Brilliant use of an incredible soundtrack which culminates in an epic reenactment of the famous 1985's show.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 24, 2023

Rami Malek gives a mediocre performance of one of the most iconic rock stars of all time. I don’t envy anybody having to step into that role. However, when the most prominent thing about Freddie in this film is his hideous prosthetic teeth...

A sensitive film that doesn't fall into triteness. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 10/10 | Aug 22, 2022

You end up with a very safe and conventional biopic that aims more at being a crowd-pleaser than an in-depth character exploration.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2022

Queen was a group that broke down the rules for what a single or an album could be, and they deserved a movie that broke down the same barriers for movies, not this toothless wonder.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jun 14, 2022

Rami Malek is brazenly resplendent in the role, summoning Mercury’s high-energy performance antics as well as his mournful, introspective side.

| May 20, 2022

In trying to tell Mercury’s queer story through his straight bandmates’ eyes, the new Queen biopic ends up saying almost nothing at all.

| Apr 5, 2022

Like many biopics, it's a bit glossy when it comes to the darker moments in (Freddie Mercury's) life. but the affection for the music and the great man is absolutely there..

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 14, 2022

Bohemian Rhapsody alternates between an exceedingly bland dramatic shorthand about Queen and Mercury's life, and several long concert scenes that cannot help but enthuse the viewer.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 8, 2022

I think this movie does [Freddie Mercury] so much justice.

Episode 16: The Age of Innocence

| Original Score: 68/100 | Sep 1, 2021

If the surviving band members had gotten out of the way, there could have been a movie that pushed boundaries the way the band did.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 21, 2021

If you are a Queen fan, I think there's a lot to enjoy in this movie, because the performance scenes are absolutely fantastic.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Aug 17, 2021

A black green cloud of bad stuff snorted up its own fat bottom. Freddie deserved better.

| Jul 2, 2021

The film squandered its opportunity to tell a story worthy of Freddie Mercury. He was magnificent and larger-than-life, and all we got is a plateful of mediocre and average.

| Mar 22, 2021

Bohemian Rhapsody tells the dramatised history of the influential British rock band, Queen, with the limelight focused firmly on the late frontman, Freddie Mercury.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 2, 2021

So forceful and enthusiastic that it's hard not to get caught up in the momentum and the impact of one of the most enduring groups in rock history.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 5, 2020

The high wire work of Malek and the thrilling concerts sequences will make you fall in love with Queen all over again. While far from perfect, Bohemian Rhapsody was a blast.

| Nov 10, 2020

Thanks to the film's aesthetically pleasing musical sequences and Rami Malek's commanding leading performance, it still serves as an adequate reminder of both the band's musical genius and Freddie's one of a kind stage presence.
