I have to say that to me it looks very promising. From what can be gathered, Mr. robot puts up great performance, and I heartily wish the film would do well. Not a huge but fan of the Queen nevertheless.
What do you think?

Didn't it go through a couple of directors hough? Never a good sign....
Plus several scriptwriters and a change of lead actor.By all accounts it is going to be an extremely sanitised version of events, carefully skirting round anything controversial and serving as a bit of revisionist history.
For the true fans and people who knew Freddie Mercury really well this is going to do nothing to change their perception of him because they loved and respected him warts-and-all, but it will damage further their perception of some of the surviving members. I am not in the least bit surprised that John Deacon wanted nothing to do with this iteration of this project, or much to do with Queen at all after Mercury's demise.

If they needed thousands of extras, when the Green Day fans entertained themselves before the band came out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZnBNuqqz5g
The film looks good.
The film looks good.
Lets look at the evidence. The film is out on Thursday, yet there are no official reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Every time I have been to the cinema for the last few months, this has been the first trailer shown. Anyone who books tickets in advance gets a free Bohemian Rhapsody wrist band.
All points to this film being a turkey, I am estimating it will end up with low 40% on Rotten Tomatoes when it does finally get released.
