Plot Summary: Movie is a biography of Queen band leads singer Freddie Mercury.

Script Analysis(story, Screenplay, Dialogues): Movie starts with the story of Freddie Mercury(Rumi Malek) as a student and meet Brian Bay(Gwilym Lee) and Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy) in a club and join their Band Group. Showcasing the creative aspect of making the songs. The movie focuses more on his love life and situations happening due to them. His family life is shown limited in the movie. More focus is given to his love life than band friendship. The screenplay is good. I wish they could have shown more of the creative process of making the songs. As scenes regarding the making of the songs are brilliant. Dialogues are very good. They are funny and witty and add an additional flavour to the scenes. Some of the scenes could have been cut off a little and could have added move scenes regarding the band member relationship. 

                                               

Star Performances: Rumi Malek Gave the best performance of his career. He is outstanding. Sometimes it feels you are actually watching Freddie Mercury on the silver scene. He is apt in replicating the body language especially during the live performance scenes of the band.

Allen Leech as Freddie personal Manager is Outstanding. He is the second character after Freddie in the movie you look forward to what he is up to next. Gwilym Lee and Ben Hardy were very good in their performances. Joseph Mazello, Lucy Boynton,  Tom Hollander, Aiden Gillen were good on their respective roles.

Technical Aspect(direction, Background Scores, Music): Movie is directed by Bryan Singer. The movie is well directed. Biographies are difficult to handle. However, Director has tried to show all aspect of Freddie life in just 2 hours. He has done a commendable job. Background score is good. Music is the soul of the Movie. Most of the Queen Song is used in the background or as their performances during tour or recording. It feels like one is watching Freddie concert live. songs like we will rock you and Bohemian Rhapsody are used brilliantly. Every time You will Hymn the songs along the movie.

Verdict: Bohemian Rhapsody is not a perfect movie but it is not a bad movie either. It’s a good movie. If You are a fan of Queen or music you will definitely end up liking the movie.
