totally agree.
Malik was amazing.
had some great scenes (basically the musical ones), but I wouldn't call it a great movie.
I'd pay to see it again just for the music scenes, though.
I'll consider best drama and award for the live-aid set. I still can't believe how well they nailed it. Malek is an acting god just for that part of the movie.
oh.
if any of you were wondering:
The frontman is played by Rami Malek, but the actor couldn’t replicate Mercury’s singing voice. The solution was to take recordings from Queen master tapes, with additional vocals recorded by Canadian singer Marc Martel. “Literally, you could close your eyes and it’s Freddie,” King told
Rolling Stone in a new interview. “And that’s a very tough thing to do.”
If you've ever heard Marc Martel, he's the closest to Mercury I've ever heard. amazing vocalist.
