I’ve watched the movie and , in my gay opinion, the movie perfectly portrayed Freddie’s sexuality even though it wasn’t mentioned that much. It makes it clear about his sexuality but it doesn’t focus on it because being gay didn’t define who Freddie was as a person and this movie is about him. It was about him and Queen. So people need to stop complaining and just appreciate this great movie about these great legends
Edit: damn thanks for all the likes and the agreement! Glad to see i’m not the only one who felt this way
Exactly.
thank you
So fucking true, people get wrapped up about sexuality when there is always more then that. This movie was great.
Thank you!!
Stefanella Sizzarettia there were 3 gay makeout scenes and as we know Freddie wore woman’s clothing
This movie was absolutely fantastic.
I dont care if they dont focus on his sexuality the reason mary Austin was featured so much in the trailers was because she was such a huge and important part of freddys life, he wanted to leave all his money and property to her, she was his best friend
Agree. it's not like his relationship with Mary was fiction and just made up for the movie. She really was the love of his life, even after taking gay lovers.
I mean, Fred entrusted her with spreading his ashes. Not even his family know where his ashes are spread, only Mary and she's kept it a secret until now.
I agree 110% I don't understand why their is even a fight about what sexuality focus it projects or not .. that was his Best friend and who he related to then any lover .. Freddie actaully said , that in an interview that Mary was his civil wife!
That was the bands portrayal because it was the last agreement when they discussed it...Yes....I know all about it...the streets are all ears.....
Sad
But the heart and soul does go on😇😯😢😢
And why not focus on her? He had a very strong personal relationship with her for most of his life. Sex does not have to define a relationship. Love does.
annette Fournier--so eloquently put Annette. Relationships tend to fizzle out quickly when based solely on sex.
annette fournier agreed. She was one of his biggest supporters even after they separated and he wrote a few songs about her. Not that they didn't have hard times but their relationship was one that endured past when they ended things romantically. She was always important to him and vice versa
me seeing an early screening of the movie, she still is in the movie even after they broke up. she shows up at concerts etc, but i believe the movie is mostly about queen not freddy's love life entirely.
They downplayed his sexuality, forgetting how he had flings with both men and women. Freddie was a huge bisexual icon and that played a huge roll for LGBT representation in those days. How it should be, no one cares about his sexuality and focused on his talent.
@@SS501Fan101 Freddie Mercury was definitely gay though, as everyone who was close to him confirms. You're not looking at the context of the situation, Freddie very much WANTED to be into women, and gay men from that time often attempted sex and relationships with women for that reason. But that doesn't change their sexuality. If he had been bisexual he would have married Mary Austin, who he called "the love of his life," but him being gay is what caused their relationship to end.
Well, if Wikipedia is correct, Freddy Mercury said, ""All my lovers asked me why they couldn't replace Mary [Austin], but it's simply impossible. The only friend I've got is Mary, and I don't want anybody else." If her place in his life was that important, I don't think she should have had a lesser role. It also states that, "In his will, Mercury left the vast majority of his wealth, including his home and recording royalties, to Mary Austin and the remainder to his parents and sister." I understand people wanting to be represented. But this is about his life or rather Queen. And that's how he felt.
She was very important to him that's true, but the movie from what i heard is apparently heterowashing a bit, cause they changed the timeline to make it seems like they stayed together longer and they completely erased David Minns from the movie, who was freddie's first boyfriend and the guy Freddie cheated on mary with for TWO YEARS before coming clean with her. Also i cant find a source for that quote you posted anywhere so idk if it's true.
Well it seems Wikipedia is incorrect about this: its *Freddie* not Freddy
@@LS-qs9ju yeah like trying indirectly to say It's Freddie not Freddy, but i guess i was too sarcastic.
In real life he often times stated that she was the love of his life. Freddie was such an interesting guy, and now having seen the movie, it's incredible.
@@sissisuperstar95 they in fact did not leave David out of the film and didn't make Freddie with her longer than he was.
That Brian May lookalike is uncanny!
Exactly!
he looks better as Brian than Malek as Freddie, I must say...
Its a little insulting to call an actor a "lookalike", lookalikes generally have no talent and are simply what the name suggests.
charlie chaplin came third in his own charlie chaplin look alike contest
INCORRECT
HIS HAIR WAS SMALLER
LMAO
People need to chill out about Freddie's sexuality. They made clear that the movie is more about Queen than Freddie's personal life. The movie is more about how they became the legends they are now and how their music has managed to transcend generations. Futhermore, one's sexuality doesn't define the people you come to depend on in your life. That's why they're putting emphasis on his relationship with Mary Austin. He even called her his wife and she inherited most of his stuff. Besides, Freddie (and correct me if I'm wrong) actually never came out, he just was who he was, apologised to no one and left people to make assumptions. But sexuality is not a binary concept. It's fluid and not a label and you can be more than just "either straight or gay", ther's a lot of things in between.
Anyhow I can't wait for this movie, I LOVE Queen!!!!
THANK YOU!!! I actually watched the movie today and everyone freaked out that Freddie's sexuality wasn't front and center
Estefanía C I
THANK YOU! He must be laughing somewhere because ppl are still fighting over his sexuality and "claiming" him. His sexuality is called freddie mercury. It's just is. An icon. A fucking legend.
I've understood that freddie was bi
"But sexuality is not a binary concept. It's fluid and not a label and you can be more than just "either straight or gay", there's a lot of things in between."
That is the wisest thing I've heard in a long time. Besides, who cares whether Freddie was straight, bisexual, gay, or anything in between, he was simply the most awesome performer ever!
Seen the film, there is no """straight washing""". Freddie's sexuality is heavily involved and the film doesn't shy away from his complications with AIDS. It's the core plot point of the latter third of the film, in fact.
I've understood that freddie was bi
He wasn't the focal point...I assure you.I knew him and it's more about the band as a whole but how can you eliminate the lead singer ? You dare not...that's how...
Here's my issue with the straight washing point... Sexuality is ONE part of a person's life. It is not all of what makes a person, and it's not like they at all skirted around Freddie's interest in males. Some people just want a reason to complain.
LGBTQ just looking for a reason to complain. That was just a portion of his life but his life was music.
I'm so stoked for this movie, I'm a massive Queen fan and it looks so damn good
"I pity your wife if you think 6 minutes is forever"
Best line of the movie!
WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER
That's a completely different act that has a completely different time expectation. Meanwhile the song sounds like two separate songs crammed back to back. They could have expanded on each and had two 4-5 minute songs instead.
If one didn't know better, he or she might've thought that, that was even footage of Freddie.
One of the greatest lines I have ever heard. Simply hilarious!
The movie is so good! I cried during the ending for like 20 minutes
Kenya Africa omg me too
I cried too
I just saw it last night i literally can’t stop watching old Queen concerts on CZcams like i was crying throughout the entire live aid show at the end
Lazma nitaenda kuiona...niko Dubai😊
Only prob was there were few facts. The Great Pretender with interviews with close friends hit it. The movie wasn’t truthful about Live Aid either. 😒
I hate it when people compare Freddie Mercury to God. I mean, he's cool and all, but he's no Freddie Mercury.
Ha ha, I liked this joke better when it was about Lemmy.
Joseph Kerr--lmao!!
Lmao
I was pissed till i finished reading
But Freddie is God ;)
I'm pretty sure Queen music has a bigger impact on the world than Freddie's sexual preference.
But it is important to who he is as a person
@@KotorFan-zb1bo Yeah and i'm sure it will be shown in the movie, to the extent of its importance. Imo not the most important part at all.
He's inspired so many people, artists and singers. Lady Gaga took her name from a Queen song.
@@annemariestaudenmann945 Yes they have. "Radio Ga-Ga"
Agree, who cares if he was gay? We admire his talents and the beautiful person he was.
His sexuality doesn’t matter, his personality and music are what made him immortal
Amen ! to that:)I agree with you my friend:)
Who think the movie theater is going to be loud because everyone is singing along to the movie?
When I saw this, nobody didn’t make a sound. It would have been very annoying. I wanna hear Freddy Mercury singing, not other people.
Complete silence... :I
Apart from the film obviously
it would be dead silence but my parents would be SINGING AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS
How did all of y'all see it if it didn't even come out yet.
Ashley G idk what country you live in, but where I live it’s been out all week.
This movie was a masterpiece, enough said
goosebumps the whole time!
Definitely not
This has nothing to do with your comment, but we almost have the same name!
I hope this wins an Oscar because it deserves it 😭
Not really but it was fair to his band....

Come on, Daniel Radcliffe as Freddie Mercury? Those two don't bloody look alike. He's better off playing John Lennon on film.
Or Frodo Baggins
Hmm no...to short to play John Lennon
Sebastian Pineda yeah but he could play it.

1:39 DANIEL RADCLIFFE IS FREDDIE MERCURY? "IT'S A KIND OF MAGIC." 😂
This comment is so underrated LOL
@@minervaloves 😂😂😂
No
Soooo glad they went with Rami Malik over Sacha Baron Cohen for Freddie Mercury. No offense to Cohen, as he is a true chameleon in his craft (for an example, watch Borat and then was the film adaptation of Les Misérables, where Cohen plays, of all characters, Monsieur Thénardier; or just watch the ‘Master of the House’ number along side his costar, who plays his wife, Helena Bonham Carter) and you’ll understand my reasoning behind him being a chameleon, but Malik being a better Freddie.
That's because Freddie stood out rather than blended in.
I really didn't like Rami as Freddie. Freddie looked like a white dude. Rami doesn't.
He's too old now anyway. Also Rami has the same culture, look and swagger.
Forreal. Everyone's argument for Cohen playing him is just about looks. But this movie wasn't just about someone who looks like Freddie, it's about someone who can rawly be him
Indigo Quashie + how the actor, carries his legacy and the emotions of the actor. I personally, think that Rami did that well.
#1 rule: never trust anyone who doesn't like Queen
...or dogs, cats and Radiohead.
@Who Told You That? Wait, what? A woman who can rock a video game? Who is this woman and is she a console peasant or Mistress of All Things PC? 🤔😗🤗
Number 2? Never trust a dude in a tunic.
💯💯💯
If not for Flash Gordon I would not even remotely like Queen at all.
So his sexual orientation should be center stage of this film? I dont think so. The film is about Freddie and queen. As I'm sure the film will touch on his personal life. I dont feel his sexual preference was what made Freddie Freddie. Yes it was part of him. But that was not what l defined him. That is what this film should be about. What he did. And what he left us..
as a gay man, I dont think who you bang makes 99% of you are as a person but maybe 5 to 10% max. There's a lot more to a person than their sexuality. There are talents, ethnic backgrounds, views, upbringing, etc. People are too quick to judge these days.
Agreed to 100%, his sexuality did not define him, but was simply part of him. The reason Austin is highlighted in the movie is simply because of her very close relation to Freddie. After all they were just about to marry as he announced that he was gay, and she inherited him! He did love her, just in a different way. Now how odd would it be to ask film sets to highlight people’s sexuality in every movie produced? Again, it can be part of the movie or character, but it should not be the major focus.
@@diron1270 She was the "Love of My Life"
You mean who he did.
@@kingken130 one's love of there life doesnt have to be defined by sex. Nor sexual preference. One could live or be so close with someone that the feelings they share go far beyond the sexual. This could extend to art.. music. Work. Or nature.. anything realy.
I’ve seen the movie and I LOVE IT.
If anyone wants to know who is Freddie's sound alike it's Marc Martel you have to listen to him honestly it's mind blowing
Is it just me who finds Rami Maleek really attractive? He's one of those 'ugly good looking' guy's if that makes sense
I find him very attractive. I prefer his identical twin brother Sami.
Psychoanalytical87 He’s just unconventionally handsome lol
A bit like a fiat multipla
Heeeeeesssss miiiiiiinneeeeeeee!!!! Lol
Rawr5649 LOL good call
Rami Malek is one of the most underrated actors currently. Thought that since his performance as Merriell "Snafu" Shelton, in the HBO miniseries "The Pacific" This movie should change that
@@asshatzeppeli208 yeah but that show was already underrated as well.
100% agree! I have always thought he was amazing! I can’t wait to see him kill it!
He was amazing in The Pacific!!!
I never heard of him and still don't know who he is.
He was on a HBO series called The Pacific. It was about war. He played a soldier. It was in 2010. Very informative show, and he played a great role. It was on demand.
People seem to forget how significant Mary was in Freddie's life, as a romantic partner, and as his dearest friend. Despite it killing him, I'm sure Freddie would've wanted people to remember the influence she had on his life, rather than some disease that he refused pity for, and happened to have a correlation to the underground gay scene in the 80's.
She wasn't that significant...she was the only woman he married...but , loved men... Not enough to say he loved her...but he promised to take care of her...it was like a contract to make him look better....One thing the other members never mentioned...Why he wanted to change the name of the band..because he was searching for a new name in 1979....mostly cause he was tired of being ridiculed... Suppose you people should pop the question to May and Taylor and Deacon Huh ???
okay but the film isn’t about mercury’s sexuality, it’s about QUEENs music plus they did focus on his sexuality as well
Exactly what the remaining musicians(Roger,Brian and John) are wanting you to believe...so they can make more money from you...Freddy would have told them they were full of crap...because he ran the group and came up with the dialog they couldn't in the music...Because they were all back drop singers....Hardly the writer types....yes, Taylor was more of a writer than Deacon and May...So now they're writers which is what their lawyers told them to play out to the public for the money... They all have wants and high expenses... It's all part of play the game........ Which are Freddy's words....Tell them what they want to hear "Darling," he would say...
Of course it's about the band as a whole. Their music was a COLLABORATIVE effort. Freddie was a genius. Brian was as well. Every member of the band had artistic brilliance. As for Freddie's sexuality, in the end, he identified as bisexual. Many biographies have documented the numerous male and female relationships that Freddie had during his lifetime. Most of these were by all accounts non-platonic in nature. The most lasting and intense was Mary. In fact, it was her that he left his mansion to. He often referred to Mary as his wife, even though they never officially married.
See how you just mostly talked about Freddie?
Yes, they’re all brilliant. But Freddie is the most interesting.
A lot of us hoped to see a movie about Freddie.
I hate to say it but the lead singer always grabs the spotlight. How many lead singers did Van Halen go through because Eddie didn't like performing in the shadow gifted voices and personalities. I will enjoy learning more about the others.
the remaining band members want to make a movie about themselves. who does that? their excuse is freddie mercury. but at least its a win-win.
@Martinie Courtiz Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. We actually did go to see it, and were really impressed.

GOD I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS 😊 I’ve been listening to Queen since I was 11, and I got my best friend into them last year, we’re STOKED for this movie 😭
Freddie Mercury said before his death:" They can do anything to his story, except to make it boring."
- Well I haven't seen the movie yet, but I surely hope that it is not boring.
Edited, for stupid reasons
It's interesting you said that: he would not have said very much after his death *shrugs*
The movie was nowhere near boring.
Well I can tell you it wasn’t boring
The movie is just perfect... I was emotional and I admit that I cried a lot at the end... The best movie I've ever seen...
No bore...You'll see...
People were upset because Freddie wasn't gay enough in the trailers? Wow... just... wow...
Welcome to 2018
This year is the year where lgbtqursjnrhftrdh complain about everything
No. I don't think that's the case. In the past, Hollywood has downplayed people's sexual orientation for fear that the movie might not be liked. Some gay people take that as Hollywood giving the impression that gay people are to be hidden or downplayed. or something like that.
@@uacbpa or maybe if they want a movie about sexual orientation they can go and make their own or wait for one with the main focus on sexual orientation
I dont see many films being anti gay or pro gay their like me they do give a shit
So if a minority are upset about not having gay focused movies making millions they should make their own but sexual orientation doesn't really matter unless its the main focus
I am agreeing with you. Who are you arguing with?
@@uacbpa an argument is opinion based with facts
A statement is factual with opinion wording
Best male singer ever. Really miss his talent :(
How the heck does this not have way more thumbs up? In rock there's no else even close (Unless you work for Rolling Stone Magazine. Eff those idiots. They've always treated Queen badly) The only person in music who was close was Pavarotti. And even Luciano 's range was nowhere near Freddie's.

Mary was his common law wife she got the home and part of the estate. He also had a husband which was also honored much of the estate. the will was split. He wasnt gay he was bi. Hence its okay to show him loving both . As he did love both.

I'm never just a rockstar, I'm a legend - Freddie Mercury 👑❤️ it's sooo true and legends never die 🙏❤️ He's gone, but he never will be forgotten👑🙏 RIP Freddie🥀❤️👑
I think QUEEN Is the Greatest rock band EVER. And if not the “Greatest” Then Queen is Definitely The Most EPIC.
Hehe. Yeah. The Beatles and Queen will be duking it out forever for the title of "greatest" but there's probably little dispute for epicness.
R.I.P Freddy we love you you will always be a legend in my book and everyone else's
Exactly how I feel. I miss him terribly😢
Amen
I bet the person who doesn’t even listen to Queen will be like “He sucks like wtf” that’s just You DON’T listen to good music
And they would not know ANYTHING about music, unless it's a f___ing autotune inspired f___ing ringtone! (that's why I'll keep my Sennheiser HD 424s and the tone deaf can have their "Beats" by "Dre")--- I actually like music! ---- I'm off to track "Sheer Heart Attack" now!

No mention of Marc Martel's vocals. Poor reporting.
Agreed, really disappointed they didn't give Marc Martel the kudos he deserves for the vocals he did for the film.
Because this was all hashed by Roger and Brian May...Mostly May...He was the one who hung really tight to Freddy....watching his every detailed action....
A beautiful movie, for a beautiful band, for beautiful members, and a beautiful soul, may Rest In Peace.
“Heroes are remembered, but legends never die...” perfect quote for Freddie and the band as a whole.

From the little I’ve seen of Malek’s performance as Freddy, he nailed it. If I didn’t know it, Malek’s onstage portrayal is like watching Freddy working the crowd. Superb.
i just got chills when they started singing we will rock you. shook me to my core.
I'm totally watching this... And I'm going to cry.....Love you Freddie
Freddie Mercury's Legacy is way above modern LGBT politics ...It never was at the epicenter of his LEGENDARY Life&career ....he belongs to everybody he is a cultural phenomenon that transcends time genders skin color ethnicity or sexual orientations
What? So him being bi would mean he doesn't belong to everybody? We're above the centuries old anti-LGBT politics of steering clear of anything LGBT even though it's clear as day he's bi. If it's really such a non-issue then why would his sexuality "take away the focus"? Why is it STILL a "controversy".
NO IT FUCKING WASN'T! I WAS KNOWN FOR LOVING DICKS!
And that's exactly the message he was trying to put out: that none of that really matters(race gender orientation choices etc). He was truly revolutionary in that he embraced freedom wholeheartedly.
@@TK-zj5hy Thank you for saying that.
@@michaellefort6128 you're welcome. the "freedom" part? It's a shame that in most cases legendary musicians are recognised as such after they've passed, & we don't understand at the time what they're all about and what their message is. I've been watching videos and songs and performances of Freddie- he was the ultimate free spirit. We make such a big deal about his sexuality, even now 27+ years later this seems to be the most contentious issue about the film. HIS point was that his private life was his business and he wanted to be known for his music and nothing else. If he was heterosexual nobody would be making such a big deal about showing that in the film. And I wonder..if gays want to be perceived as equal and no different than heteros, then why differentiate? 2nd: his feelings, his life, his thoughts really were all in his lyrics; even his sexuality was obvious in his attire- he didn't have to come out publicly and announce it otherwise he'd be known for THAT always. The focus was always to be on his music. I love another message he gave out: "don't be afraid of who you want to be, just don't be ashamed of anything. Just BE who you are". He was an anomaly in a world which dictates conformity so I admire him for sticking to his beliefs and credo. Ultimately it was his different-ness that made him stand out. But..too late. I wish he was appreciated more in his lifetime rather than hounded and teased. Another person who I feel was very much misunderstood in his lifetime was Prince. There's much to learn from people like them.
This movie was so fucking good. Easily my Top 3 movies. Deserves few Oscars for sure, especially Rami Malek. Live Aid made me cry.
He says " it gone on for six bloody minutes" I swear all I hear is shrek...
I thought i was the only one!!
SAME HERE
I wonder if the audience at the movie theater would start the clapping during the movie to the song 'We will, We will Rock you'.
Sagittarian Fire Rat depends on the audience you get when you go.
Yeah, you really think that todays teens even 20 somethings will even like the music......"millenials" wtf
If today's 20 somethings do not like Queen, they should not come see the movie.
Clapping to We Will Rock You during the movie would be truly epic!
I live in Britain so we're all bores and no one clapped
Heterowashing? Freddie was Bi. Flamboyant doesn't always automatically mean full on Gay.
"full on Gay"? Dude...
HETROWASHING IS JUST ANOTHER REDICULOUS LIBTARD TERM.. LIKE ALL THINGS PC IS BONKERS..
he was gay, not bi. All his friends said that he was gay not bi, Mary included. I dont know where this bi thing come from.
Plenty of times over the years although I know he openly expressed himself being gay. Sexuality is a difficult thing to put into a biopic of a deceased person. I'm just putting it out there than Mary Austin meant a big deal to Freddie until his death and just don't want people whinging "Boohoo heterowashing" you know?
Freddie was gay. His main partner was a man called Jim Hutton.
I rehearsed this as a skit in front of the school with 2 friends! So legendary!!
So glad I heard of the Red Deer Moshpit Association
This was an absolute joy of a movie. They really stuck true to the facts and what his life was like. I loved this movie to no end.

He should be touring with the band and probably could have played this role.

Just watched it in theater today. So. Many. Goosebumps.
Absolute masterpiece.
Freddie was ahead of his time when it came to making music
To the people complaining about the emphasis on Mary Austin's and Freddie Mercury's relationship:
Freddie and Mary dated for a good portion of the 70s and she was extremely important to him. None of his relationships with other women or even with other men even came close to what he had with Mary. He believed Mary was his only friend. She was the only person he trusted. For most of the end of his life and his struggle with AIDS, he dated a man named Jim Hutton and that was a very strong relationship, but nothing compared to Mary. He left to Jim about £500,000 and to Mary he left his estate, the rest of his money, his recording royalties and his cats.
The movie does not "straight-wash" him. Mary was the most important person in his entire life. So, yes, they are going to put more emphasis on that than his relationship with the guy that can't speak English or the German lady or the guy that was violent and liked to bite Freddie. And even than on his Jim Hutton relationship. Jim was the closet he got to recreating what he had with Mary, but honestly, he barely came close.
I'M TOO EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR NOVEMBER 1ST TO COME!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'LL BE THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!!!!!
Their music is strange in that it seems to grow more popular every year.
In the UK it's out on October 24th
@@user-dv2ge2mt7b luckyyyyy
Yikes
This movie is truly a masterpiece. I sang along every single song. This and A Star is Born are definitely Grammy winners.
The "I Want to Break Free" chord progression on the background music was a nice touch. Thumbs Up!!
There will never be another Queen.
Tell that to My Chemical Romance. Granted, they're not Queen of course, which is irreplaceable, they had a similar impact in the early 2000s and their overall theatricality and style is very influenced by Queen.
Never cared about musicians sexual preferences or orientation for that matter, what they brought to the stage, to the studio, to the masses in the form of music is what is ultimately important.
I AM IN LOVE WITH BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY
I cannot wait to see this. Love Queen.
Yas Freddie is a legend : thanks for 105 likes you guys really are legends
They're all Legends
"...a sound alike". Really?No credits to Marc Martel!
Vaibhav Kumar Mercury’s voice inimitable that’s why they use almost Freddie voice in all movie
@@kostadinfrengov6994 still they should've mentioned Martel...he really does justice to Mercury's majestic voice.
Agreed, that's a shame.... You dropped the ball on that one WatchMojo.com
He is credited in the film credits though!
@@beepbeep6200 True. But as it's such a big deal, I was disappointed in WatchMojo (this youtube video) for dropping the ball.
hopefully going to go see this with my dad, he's been a long time queen fan and he introduced me to queen when i was at a young age. So excited to see this and from what we've seen so far, the casting for this film is amazing and this is gonna be stunning (wouldn't be surprised if me and my dad end up tearing up)
I'm so hyped seems like a great biopic especially when she said that the view will be mostly the band and has a respected view on Freddie Mercury so it'll be great I'm sure of it
wait the dude from until dawn?
Yep, and Mr. Robot.
and Breaking Dawn Part 2
Chris R.R.
Is that the one who played josh
Zuma Star Yes
Can't tie them up if they just WIGGLE AROUND
Looks good , can't wait to see it.
Bohemian Rhapsody is the GREATEST Rock & Roll song (forget Stairway to Heaven already) ever and there is nothing anybody can do about it. THANK YOU FREDDIE AND COMPANY.
Without question, I'm going to watch this for sure. My mom's gonna come along too since she's a Queen fan (she was a kid in the 70s when Queen rolled around) and passed Queen to me.
Mike Myers is DEFINANTLY in this film because he played the song in Wayne`s World and seemed obsessed with the song and almost quit when they went to use a different song.
Damn Malik And Freddie Really Do Look Alike
Finally, a WatchMojo video that I really liked.
The movie blew my expectations out of the water, I LOVED watching it!!!
That "Sound-Alike" is Marc Martel. He is INSANELY GOOD, and even looks like Freddie to a degree (though, more conventionally handsome). Marc is NOT an impersonator, having his own career (his original band was Downhere, but he's doing solo stuff now). He does however front the Queen Extravaganza, and has performed with them since his audition with "Somebody to Love" went viral a few years back. I met Marc years ago in the Downhere days, and the man can put on a SHOW and is super nice. He's got a crazy range. I get pretty evangelistic about him, especially knowing he's involved in this film.
He is not with QuEx anymore so, no more Queen connection, hence no recognition.
@@lararoostalu9318 Why wouldn't they give him recognition in this movie review? Marc's been officially and publicly recognized and praised by the film's director on his amazing vocal work he did for the movie.
@@5thGenNativeTexan Marc Martel let Roger down big time as far as I know with a current QuEx tour. There would be a different situation if he was loyal. He used to have a lot of support from Queen Official, not anymore.
@@lararoostalu9318 There's more to that story than you know Lara. Not saying anything negative about Roger here, but Marc was hardly to blame for the current QuEX tour. And his relationship with Roger and the QuEX shouldn't really have anything to do with the movie, which he's already given his considerable vocal talents to.
@@5thGenNativeTexan Martel's name is on the film's credits, what are you complaining about? He should've been taking part at the film promotion with the QuEx band now, not creating a competition to them.
By sound alike you mean Marc Martel. This guy needs some recognition
Agreed, really disappointed they didn't give Marc Martel the kudos he deserves for the vocals he did for the film.
Watched it 2 days ago...so good ♡♡
Thanks for posting this video ❤️
So excited!!!
Holy God, the man was a legend. Someone with so many different aspects to his life and people want to focus on the fact that he was gay or bisexual. Small piece to the huge picture that was Freddie
There's more to the eye than a wave of a hand ....!!!!
Bought a tear to my eyes... can’t wait to watch the film.
Mojo videos background music ressembles me "I want to break free" so much
A soundalike... Come on give Marc Martel some respect and actually say his name...
Schacksen | Jeppe S. I was thinking the same thing! The Marc Martel is amazing.
Amen
Ben Hardy as Roger Taylor is just 😍😍
Just watched this film last night and it was AMAZING and yes it's about Queen not only Freddie
Just saw the movie yesterday, I was absolutely mesmerized! Rami Malek was outstanding as Freddie and I agree Oscar worthy. Expect tears as you really feel you were there. Long live Queen and Freddie!
