Finally a movie I've marked my calendar for

This is that movie, but I thought his complaint was that the movie was only half about Freddie and half about the how Queen soldiered on after his death. It was a bunch of he said/she said stuff, but I think we can all agree that no one really cares about Queen post-Freddie. I mean, Brian and the boys are great, but the story of Queen starts and stops around Freddie.

Yes,what I read was that he thought the movie should have Freddie's death at the 1/2 way point of the film and that the last 1/2 would be about Queen post Freddie.

The only two things I personally can think of relevant after Freddie's death would be the tribute concert at Wembley Stadium and the production of the rock opera We Will Rock You.

I looked into again. The band had wanted it to be family friendly and not delve into the more adult orientated subject matter. It seems that they did a great job at replacing Cohen. And it should still be a very good film
