I found it a bit 'meh' if I'm honest. To me it was a bit too gloomy and sad and focused mainly on his demons and troubles rather than the overblown stage shows that we know he loved to do. It was filmed as a musical rather than a straight biopic and I for one didn't like it like that,I would have preferred it to have been similar in style to Bohemian Rhapsody. Again like BR some of the facts were wrong or misplaced (such as writing I'm Still Standing AFTER rehab) The marriage to Renate was only briefly touched upon too, so for me this was a disappointment after BR. 5/10

You say it's a musical? Count me out.

The best therapy for any problem you might have is playing music with friends.

I didn't know this until I saw it or I probably wouldn't have seen it myself.

Eloise: unomusette, you are so right about all of us being a tiny bit from Birmingham. I can't tell you how many times I have had the Birmingham blues and wished I could be there. Aug 29, 2024 15:01:23 GMT

eloneen: We've got nasty weather here in Central NC- rain, high winds, possibility of tornadoes until 6PM - nothing dangerous so far here. There are tens of millions of people affected by this storm. Stay safe! ::animated-smileys-hug-008:: Sept 27, 2024 14:34:21 GMT *

BIuebird: I'm so glad you're okay eloneen! I still have yet to hear from some of my friends in Georgia and Florida, I'm worried about them.
