The movie Bohemian Rhapsody is a movie that captivates the sheer greatness of the band Queen. The Freddie Mercury Biopic is a visual timeline of his rise to fame and internal struggles. Freddie struggled heavily with self-identity and his sexuality. Many viewers praised the film for its powerful and nostalgic effect through the use of its original music and replication of live performances.

Bohemian Rhapsody has reminded me that no one in this generation will compare to someone like Freddie Mercury. Pure talent ❤️ #BohemianRhapsodyMovie

At the same time, many critics noted that some parts of the timeline were improvised for story line, such as how Freddie was first introduced to the band.
Back @SmoothNorthWest now, fresh from watching #BohemianRhapsodyMovie @ODEONCinemas Great Northern. What a movie. Loved every moment although why was Fat Bottomed Girls featured pre-1975? Chronologically wrong!!!

I thought #BohemianRhapsodyMovie was great fun – I heard lots of negative reviews from critics because the film wasn't 'daring', 'brave', or 'historically accurate', but what were they expected? it was clearly never meant to be a documentary. it was just meant to be entertaining.

Some movie critics posted links to their reviews on twitter which did have some negative feedback on the biographical information in the film, but credited the film for its visuals and music.
The movie should have been called Bohemia-ho-hum Rhapsody. Check out my honest review at https://t.co/Zl7n5V9PpX#secondchancemovies #BohemianRhapsodyMovie
