Movie Review: Ralph breaks the internet

Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome back to my movie review.

From six years, ago, Disney made "Wreck-It Ralph", a movie about the titular villain from "Fix-It Felix" where he wants to be a hero, not before accidentally travel to other arcade games, including "Sugar Rush" where he meets a glitch racer name Vanellope. Also figure out what's the danger of "going Turbo".

I remembered saw it as a teenager and it was a fun movie, because i wanted to have a good movie with video game content, because from many years ago, Hollywood tried so hard to having movie based on video games and they're pretty bad for all the wrong reasons since the 1993 "Super Mario Bros the movie". After several years, Disney brought us "Wreck-It Ralph", and it was a major success and everyone loved it, because it was actually pretty original (instead of cash-in based on video games) and crossover feeling like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", but with video games. And ever since the movie was succeed, its no wonder that they want to make a sequel. Even though Disney felt that making sequels in feature film is maybe too much since their dead company "DisneyToon Studio".

"Ralph breaks the internet" is a 2018 Disney animated film directed by written/directed by Rich Moore and Phil Johnston, produced by Clark Spencer, then written by Jim Reardon, Pamela Ribon and Josie Trinidad.

When the sequel was announced, i was believing to see more arcade games where we like to see something new or even reunion in "Sugar Rush". Instead, rather than going back to the world of video game, they brought us to another digital world called "The Internet". Yup, we're jumping in the internet for an adventure to this big world, especially with more crossover in the internet with Disney's content like Marvel, Star Wars and more. I mean it had a big potential and a lot of attention for us. Though last year, we had one called "The Emojis Movie" by Sony Pictures Animation, but it was easily the worst film ever made that we'd rather moving on and pretend it didn't exist.

So, with all that said, will this movie holds up for fun adventure of the internet, or is this film was infested from the virus?

Well, lets find out.

The Story

Since this is the movie about the internet, we expected to hear how our heroes do their goal in the digital world? Well, its rather a delayed and possible a changed plot.

Six years after dealing with Turbo, Ralph became friends with Vanellope von Schweetz since before as they're in conversation in various arcade world. But one day, they heard the Wi-Fi was connected to extended plug and Ralph made a huge mistake that he created a shortcut for bonus to Vanellope, which she was distracted and causing to losing control in the game, causing the steering wheels of the arcade breaks. Because of the damage, the world "Sugar Rush" is unplugged to leaving Vanellope and the citizens of her home world all homeless. Its up to Ralph for helping Vanellope to going in the internet in order to bring back her world.

The story itself is almost like the first movie, but unlike where Ralph is in Sugar Rush, its about find the way for bring back her land to get a new steering wheel, likely on eBay, even though it feels rather cliche about getting the money for important item. But the downside is that the main story was stopped that it focused of travelling around the internet like "Buzztube" "Oh My Disney" (and yes, its real) and few others. There's a subplot where Ralph and Vanellope visits to a mixed between battle-royal and a racing called "Slaughter Race", which it got a lot of intention to her for going back to racing, which it has a friend triangle of her with either Ralph and Shank., which they wanted to have a heart element in the movie, which i kinda understand what they add in. There's also another a subplot of already married of Fix-It Felix and Tamora Jean Calhoun, but this one is rather unnecessary, which its just a small character development.

Though the main story is rather good, with a cliche of getting money, but its setting and the subplot is probably interesting for friendship relation and a heart.

The Animation

Since this is a Disney animated film, il easily say the animation is always pretty good. But this time, its bigger, colorful and a nicely work of animations.

For starter, the its no secret that they brought back the previous casts from the first film, but with some update, especially in extended plus and show us another world of arcade during the conversation of Ralph and Vanellope, which is pretty nice to see more arcade in the first act. And like before, we always like to play a game that i like to call "Peek the cameos", which we like to look around the background to see the characters in crossover in video game, like Pac-Man, Pong and several others. With some that we know they appeared like Sonic, Zangief and Qbert. And yes, like before, it was originally to have a cameo of Mario from Nintendo, but didn't make it, whether its the copyright infringement or not.

And what about the world of internet? Damn...!! This is huge to describing it.

This world looks amazing that its like a city in our imagination of digital world of internet. Some sites fits nicely what we expected, like eBay is basically a typical shop, but with bidding, "Oh My Disney" is the site with Disney's culture like Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and Disney films. And there's BuzzzTube, which the best way to describing it, its like Youtube, but with old roots for mainly focus on fun viral videos than the current time of Youtube where its all about broken rules with "Where's the Fair Use" and Youtubers beef, but i digress. Not to mention, it has a lot of placements of websites that we like to see like Amazon, Google, Twitter, Pinterest and Youtube, at least they don't use for awkward purpose. But my nitpick of the internet world is the users design, which they're basically human with scare head and tiny torso and limbs, but at least they're not as bad than many of Emoji characters from "The Emoji Movie".

As for the animation and the characters design, aside of brought back the old casts, the other characters design are rather cool and yet simple, whether a somewhat look realistic like characters of Slaughter Race or even the people in real world. And some are using for energetic like internet users, Venallope and few others. And of course, it has a coolest detail in the film for how it feels several places, whether is post-apocalyptic land of "Slaughter Race", the fun culture lan like "Oh My Disney", the future like city of internet hub or even something disturbing bellow like "Dark web".

The animation is likely the highlight that we like to see for how imaginative the internet world looks like, but hey, at least its not as plain sellout for showing us the social medias.

The Characters

Im sure some of you are familiar of the main heroes like Ralph and Vanellope. But this time, along with the new casts, they are surprisingly interesting, except for some that we forget about.

First is "Wreck-It Ralph" himself (voiced by John C. Reilly ), unlike before where he depicted as a villain that he wishes to be a hero, in this movie, he's has more parallel for helping Vanellope for the message and he's rather more useful as the story went on and also have more sympathy for the friendship triangle And with the return of John Reilly as Ralph is always a great role.

And we have Vanellope von Schweetz (voiced by Sarah Silverman), at first, she started as a cute annoying girl in Sugar Rush, before she became likable at the end. Here, she's more of adventurous for searching around the internet, which as i mentioned, she started for looking help when she's homeless before she gets a lot attention what she needs, rather than wanting to going back her land for racing, she's basically likes to try something new that its unpredictable and she's easily in my opinion, a relatable character in the movie, i mean we can feel for her that we want to try something new in racing. Like getting tired of same game like Mario Kart, why not try something new and maybe realistic like Gran Turismo or even Forza series. And Silverman is always did a nice work of her role of the glitch princess in Sugar Rush.

As for the previous casts like Fix-it Felix jr (voiced by Jack McBrayer) and Tamora Jean Calhoun (voiced Jane Lynch), they don't have any purpose in the movie, they're basically in relationship in order to adopting the other racers in Sugar Rush and thats it.  Talk about a waste of potential of the old side characters...

As for the new casts? Well, they're rather more likable than Felix and Tamora Calhoun, thanks for the purpose of the plot.

First is Shank (voiced by Gal Gadot, aka Wonder Woman), she's the new main character in the movie and the leader of her own gang in "Slaughter Race". Though despite she's a typical badass girl, but she's also given a plot development for Vanellope for the changing feeling for racing. At first, i though she's gonna be the main villain for manipulating poor Vanellope, but in reality, she's just a girl who's impressed for her and becoming her new friend. And im quiet surprised for Gal's role in Wreck-It Ralph film, what's next, Gal Gadot in MCU?

Next is KnowsMore (voiced by Alan Tudyk, who previously played as King Candy/Turbo), who's basically a living search engine with a same name, but with over aggressive autofill. He's likely a plot device for the direction for our heroes. Even though im surprised Alan returned from "Wreck-it Ralph", but at least he's not the villain again.

Then there's J.P. Spamley (voiced by Bill Hader, aka Fear from "Inside out"), who's a clickbait user with annoying pop-up. However, he seems to be somewhat opposite than an annoying pop-up, though he maybe helpful for our heroes, but he has a shady background. Though i have no comment for Bill's role, he's always did a nice work of his role, but i prefer his role of Fear.

And finally there's Yesss (voiced by Taraji P. Henson) an algorithm superstar of Buzzztube for determining videos. Like before i thogh she's a main villain for manipulating Ralph for making videos, but in reality, she's more likely a helper to Ralph for viral videos with hearts. By hearts, it means profit instead of views, interesting concept. Though she looks somewhat  similar to "Cruella de Vil" from 101 Dalmatians, but unlike Cruella that we love to hate, Yesss is likely a motivator and a beautiful star in the fictional site.

As for the rest, there aren't much else like Double Dan (voiced by Alfred Molina, aka Dr. Octopus in Spider-Man 2) who's a creator of virus and  Mr. Litwak (voiced by Ed O'Neill) who's the owner of arcade club.

And like i mentioned before, it also have cameos, especially in "Oh My Disney" where you can spotted many characters from Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars. But the biggest cameo is obviously the Disney Princesses, like when i saw them, i was surprised that its first time that all of them appear in the feature film together. Even though some them reprise their roles since before (get ready for a big list), like Jodi Benson as Ariel, Paige O'Hara as Belle, Linda Larkin as Jasmine, Irene Bedard as Pocahontas, Ming-Na Wen as Fa Mulan, as well with recent (2009 to 2016) such as Anika Noni Rose as Tiana, Mandy Moore as Rapunzel, Kelly Macdonald as Merida, Auliʻi Cravalho as Moana and Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel as my favorite sisters Anna and Elsa. And some of them are replacing from the past casts, such as Jennifer Hale as Cinderella, Kate Higgins as Aurora and screenwriter Pamela Ribon was provided to playing as Snow White.

Despite Felix and Tamora Calhoun appeared in waste of time, the rest of the characters are easily likable for fun times for viewers and given an interesting developments for our heroes.

And now for my final opinion of this film.
Overall, "Ralph breaks the internet" is fun sequel to watch after the first Wreck-It Ralph, with a good story (despite some writing could be botchy from cliche or the main plot was kinda stopped for bring back "Sugar Rush") with nice message of friendship (even though the friendship element is also cliche, kinda) a very cool animation with the presentation of digital world and the characters are rather fun, despite some of them are limited.

I have to agree with some viewers by saying it was a "worthy successor" from the first film. Don't give me wrong, i like the first one that i enjoyed the crossover of video games and original story than cash-in. But for the sequel, its also a crossover, but with a new level that it makes this film even more enjoyable to watch.

But do i think this film is a better sequel then "Incredibles 2"? I hate to say, No. Because in my debate, "Ralph breaks the internet" came out six years after the first one, that it has a cool concept, but it has some flaws for the writing and some of my nitpick of animation design. While "Incredibles 2" came out 14 years after the first one and it was a welcome return since my childhood, meaning this sequel came out older. Yes it may have some flaws, but this film is always my favorite animated film of this year.

So if you like to see another crossover film with the internet, this one is definitely for you, it may have some problems, but its fun film to watching it.

So, i give this movie 8/10.

Movie Review: Dr. Seuss's The Grinch

Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome back to my movie review.

Well, Christmas is upon us already, since we're like in mid-late November, and i guess im might as well doing a Christmas movie review. But this time, we're taking a look of one the most famous kid's story in our childhood called "How The Grinch stole Christmas". Published in 1957 and written by Dr. Seuss, this story is like our favorite story telling only on Christmas in our childhood memory. Its about a mean green creature named "The Grinch" who lives all alone, far away from The Whoville, due to his hatred of Christmas from his heart is two sized too small, his goal is to steal all the Christmas decorations to ruining the holiday.

When the book became popular, its no secret that has to be an adaptation. There's the TV animated short by Chuck Jones and narrated by Boris Karloff in 1966, which despite it had a divided reaction, but it became a classic when it was re-aired. Fast forward to 2000, Ron Howard directed an live action adaptation with Jim Carrey as The Grinch, with despite the box-office success, but it got even more mixed reaction, some say its rather a pretty good story for the origin, but others felt Jim Carrey's depiction of The Grinch comes off as questionable, which im one of those people that im not a huge fan of this live action cash in.

Several years later, Illumination decided to making their own adaptation of The Grinch which i was anticipated to see it, even though many people was questioning since we already got Ron Howard's version.

"Dr. Seuss's The Grinch" is a 2018 animated Illumination film directed by Scott Mosier and Yarrow Cheney, produced by Chris Meledandri and Janet Heal and written by Michael LeSieur and Tommy Swerdlow.

Though i may not considered myself to grew up with Dr. Seuss stories, because i was more of comics and Disney films. But when i grew to learn about Dr. Seuss, i find all them are fascinated, from The Grinch to "The cat in a hat". But of course, this is not the first time Illumination done the adaptation of Dr. Seuss's story, the first time they've done is "The Lorax", which is easily the most weakest film ever made by the same company with Minions, so they made their second try with the most familiar character in the Christmas story.

So, with all that said, will this movie holds up for changing heart, or is it really make too much noise?

Well, lets find out.

The Story.

you expected that this movie could have original story like Ron Howard's version, right?  Well, it doesn't have anything special for this movie.

The plot begins where The Grinch travels to Whoville to gets his breakfast and humiliating the Whos and not before he's getting to much from Christmas that he's going to setting up his goal by stealing Christmas stuff and thats it. It feels like an extended version from the book, but with some unnecessary filler. But they did have a subplot, where little Cindy Lou Who and her friends working together to set up the trap to catching Santa Claus, mainly because she really wants to see him, like any kids believing. Plus, it also has a plot development to know why The Grinch hated Christmas, which happens when he was young in orphanage that he has no Christmas for him, but execution is vague that we asked so many question for why he's left abandoned or where are his parents, are they did or left to another world? Despite the major flaws, the most common meaning about this movie, was the heart for holiday, which it make sense that if we hated back then, maybe it could change our feeling, especially some moments are touching.

As for the jokes, although some of them did made us chuckle, but others aren't as funny that we have never expected, especially the one that they obviously took the joke of goat scream. Come on, Black Panther did a better meme joke than what we have here!

The story itself is unfortunately nothing special, just add some filler and some small subplot and vague backstory to making an extended version of the book. Even though it has an interesting meaning, but nothing new.

The Animation

Though im not considered myself as a fan of Illumination, but i have to give a credit like "Sing", the animation itself is actually pretty good.

The backgrounds are nice work with the mountains surrounding with snows or even decorative and colorful place of Whoville that it looks like it was done in gingerbread house, since its obviously made in Christmas, especially the color pallets, textures and the quality looks impressive.

As for the character designs, despite some criticized they looks like a typical concept of Illumination, but i don't think its that bad, i find the designs are above average, sure Max's design looks like something straight out of "The Secret Life of Pets", but i digress. The Grinch design looks pretty cool that he might looks similar from the book version, but im not sure if i called it better than Chuck Jones's version. And there's the Whos, although i find some of them are rather mixed, the designs themselves are nice, but i don't like they give them a random hairstyles, its good at first, but other times some of them are running out of ideas.

But probably the best part of the animation, it has to be the climatic stealing Christmas decorations, this one is easily the memorable part, but far more creative, thanks to The Grinch's gadgets to stealing all the stuff, and some of the choreograph is also pretty good. I guess its no wonder why we like to see the climatic scene in movie.

While Illuminations's animation of The Grinch looks outstanding, but sometimes they have some lower ideas.

The Characters.

Im sure you guys are familiar with characters in the book like The Grinch, Cindy Lou Who, Max the dog and... Thats all there is. But with this movie, you expected to have a new casts for new development? Sadly no.

Lets started with The Grinch himself (voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch, aka Dr. Strange in MCU), he's basically a neutral in the story, he started as a grumpy and mean at the Who's for the humiliations, but he may also has a sympathetic figure due to his tragic origins, but then again, i was questioning why he's left all alone. I have to admitted, its a nice extra character development in this version, but at least its better thanks to the nicely fitting voice from Benedict and even better than being an over-the-top depiction from the live action version.

As for his pet Max, he's just... Well, a dog, but more of a loyal dog. But they also including Fred the fat reindeer, who's just a generic fatty character for a small appearance. Yeah, i think Max is more likable than Fred...

Then we have Cindy Lou Who (voiced by the young Cameron Seely), unlike in the book or the TV short who's just a curious girl. Here, she's basically kind-heart little Who girl that she cares about her mom, since she's overly busy. I find her to be rather cute when she shows up, despite of her goal of capture Santa in the night. Though i understand that they wanted to make more of her, because of her pointless filler and her generic kid who likes to see Santa, she's rather an ok little girl. But of course, Cameron did a nice work of her role.

As the other Whos? Well, they're rather limited than Cindy, like Donna (voiced by Rashida Jones) who's an overworked mother, but at least she's not as dumb as "Lou Lou Who", and Bricklebaum (voiced by Kenan Thompson), who's like a next door neighbor with big decorations. But sometimes some characters has a questionable names, including some of Cindy's friends such as Axl (like Axl Rose?), Ozzy (like Ozzy Osbourne?) or even Izzy (like Izzy Bizu??).

And you're probably wondering who's the narrator of the movie? Well, surprisingly it was Pharrell Williams, the same music artist with "Get Lucky" with Daft Punk, his single "Happy" and as a judge in "The Voice", not bad.

The characters in this movie are obviously limited, though they have some new developments, but would've give us some new casts to extending the movie.

And now for my final opinion of this film.

Overall, Dr. Seuss's The Grinch is rather an ok film. The story feels like an extension film from book, the animation looks pretty nice and the characters, despite some are good, but they're probably limited, since it mainly focus out titular character. This is the film that its ok to show it for kids and im pretty sure they'll easily like this movie. For my recommendation, its a mixed bag, i mean you can see it if you're openly curious that you haven't heard of Dr. Seuss or a fan of his work, if not, well, i'd say stick to the book or even Chuck Jones's version.

And do i think its better than "The Lorax"? I'd say yes, where "The Lorax" although it had a nice animation, but the story is waste of space, a song with nice beat but with bad lyrics and the characters are either obnoxious or forgettable. While The Grinch is an alright film to adapting from the book. Its not bad, but nothing special.

I give this movie a 5.5/10.

So this ends of my movie review, if you guys have your opinion or any suggestions, let me know at comment bellow and support me on KO-FI.com/blackevil.

Movie Review: Bohemian Rhapsody

Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome back to my movie review.

As a kid to a teenagers, i enjoyed listening some old school rocks from late 60's through early 90's, the most notable that i remembered is ACDC, its like my childhood favorite band that i though they're from USA, but in reality, they're from Australia. But there's another group that i also remembered is Queen.

Queen is one of the most famous British band we've ever heard from the 70's to the 80's for their ground breaking song that we heard a lot in the radio, especially for the lovable signer named Freddie Mercury for his wonderful vocal voice and even wrote his famous songs like "We are the champions", "Don't stop me now", "Somebody to love" and the most recognizable one "Bohemian Rhapsody". He's been his group since 1970 and he sometimes doing his own solo career with his own songs right before his tragic death from AIDS in 1991, which he was tested positive or negative to reveal he was diagnosed with AIDS, but he kept in secret, but his long reveal til he died too late. It is no wonder how anyone from the past will always remember about Freddie and even creating a charity to fighting against AIDS/HIV.

And so, it is no wonder il talking about a movie based on the true story of the origin of the band Queen and Freddie Mercury's life.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" is a 2018 Biographical film directed by Bryan Singer (but replaced by Dexter Fletcher), produced by Graham King and Jim Beach and written by Anthony McCarten and Peter Morgan (for story).

At first, when i noticed that they're gonna make a movie based on real life about Queen caught a lot of surprise for me and Queen fans as well that we like to see how it goes. But during the development, it had a difficult time where Bryan Singer wasn't so nice at fellow members and casts with arguments and absence, as a result, he got fired for the problem and got replaced by Dexter Fletcher in order to finish the project before the deadline. Which it might be concerned how the movie goes after Singer's controversy.

So, with all that said, will this movie live up of real life, or its just fantasy?

Well, lets find out (Just to give a warning, they're might be a spoiler, so Spoiler Alert)

The Story

For the story if you like to how it looks like in the origin and life Freddie, i find it to be not bad, but it has a probably for the history.

It begins where Freddie was born as Farrokh Bulsara (since he's a Indian-British), he was working in the airport baggage from the college, when he went to a nightclub with a short-lived group called "Smile". After a former member Tim Staffell left the group for decline, Farrokh meets fellow members Brian May and Roger Taylor that he wants to join group with an extra member name John Deacon to forming their group called "Queen" and he legally changed his name to "Freddie Mercury" that we all know and love. Freddie meets a girl name Mary Austin that they're dating together, and Queen's first album was the first success. As time goes, Freddie wrote a song in six minutes known as "Bohemian Rhapsody", which despite it had a divided reception from the lyric, but it was a smash hit. Unfortunately, the relationship of Freddie and Mary won't last very long with a break up, due to the fact that he's gay when he had affair with his man name Paul Prenter. So Freddie while in solo career, he's gonna make his decision whether he's going back to his group or probably fallen from the grace of his business.

I find the story itself it quiet interesting to show us the origin of our favorite British band and the life of our favorite late singer for newcomers of old school rocks. The downside i kinda have is that the movie mainly not focus about the group, it mainly focuses about Freddie's life of his writing songs and a love triangle between Mary Austin and his manager Paul Prenter, which i find the subplot of love triangle is easily reasonable for why Freddie is gay.

However, since they're trying to follow the history, but it ended up with a tripping down by shoe laces from an inaccuracies.  For example, the formation of the group was not simple, but as presented, which is pretty vague, but in reality, he created regal and gay connotations in order to make a strong name for British audiences. Then there's after Freddie doing his own solo in the 80's, he wanted to have a reunion with his bandmates and his friends Mary Austin and Jim Hutton in Live Aid, when in reality, the reunion has nothing to do in Live Aid, they joined in for the audiences to fighting against AIDS in Wembley Stadium. And last but definitely not the least, was Freddie's diagnose of AIDS. In the movie, he learns that he was diagnosed with AIDS in 1985 (before Live Aid), but it really never happen until 1986 when he was reported for a blood test until Jim reported about it one year later, but Freddie denied by saying it was tested negatively and kept secret from rumors.

Despite the problem of inaccurate moments, but the story is not bad that for introducing us for the formation of Queen and Freddie Mercury.

The Production

Though we expected to see some beautiful work of the movie, and they did a pretty good job.

For starter, the filming location  is actually accurate to see where we're follow, especially where Queen started in the old house then bought the mansion, thanks to their hits, which is a nice evolving of their popularity. Plus, i like their recording studio in their old house, during the recording of "Bohemian Rhapsody", especially it had some funny moments like the tone from a signing to be high pitch.

But what it makes it beautiful work is the cinematography, it looks so good for a shots in many places from the conversation of the studio or in the party to the concert. The concert scenes are amazing and colorful in the same time, and the filming of Live Aid is so good and it feels like a highlight of this movie, just like in real life "Live Aid" that the Queen's concert is the best part in 1985.

And of course, lets not forget about the songs, its no surprise that it was like a remake songs in order to be like the original ones, and i think they did a good job, since Brian May and Roger Taylor are working as creative and musical consultants. But the issue is that Rami Malek (who played Freddie Mercury) is an actor, not a singer, the only to solving it is the inserted vocal stems from Queen and brought a Canadian version of Freddie name Marc Martel. Though i never heard of Marc Martel, but he's easily surprised us for his beautiful voice of singing and i think he did a good job for his covers.

But like i said before, the movie had a difficulty development from Bryan Singer that he was absent many times from after Thanksgiving or "personal health matter", and it got a lot worse that he was clashing at Malek for his horrible attitude while filming and it is no wonder he got fired and replaced by Dexter Fletcher in order to finish the project positively. I guess it explained the reason why Bryan Singer was hated for not just his mistreatment in filming, but also the sexual abuse as well.

Despite the controversy, they did a good job for the presentation of filming and musicals as well. Especially the Live Aid scene really touches me that i was close about to cry emotionally.

The Characters

Im sure some of you fans of Queen are familiar of the members themselves, but it also add more characters for the true story. But i find the casts are quiet interesting.

First up as we all know is Freddie Mercury (played by Rami Malek), i find his role and his look is a nice casting for him, he's depicted as flamboyant lead member in the stage for how cool and handsome he is for his style, when in reality, he's a very shy and retiring that he didn't like to know at anyone, especially for the interview that he was considered a "different person", which we all know that his secret that he's gay. Despite his shy personality that we might understand, but we can all agree Rami did a great job of his leading role.

Then we have Freddie's former girlfriend and a true friend name Mary Austin (played by Lucy Boynton), as we all know, she's a love interest of Freddie in the story that they're developing together for their relationship. And like we all know, the relationship between her and Mercury wasn't that easy, due to his sexuality that resulting a break up. Despite the drama, she also have a sympathetic figure that she wants to see him again when she's pregnant, which it sadly understandable for Freddie, that he wants her as a friend. But to be fair, i can say Lucy did a nice work of her role.

As for the members, though i may not familiar with some of them, they're pretty cool look and a nice cast for Ben Hardy as Roger Taylor and Joseph Mazzello as John Deacon. But one i think who's also likable is Brian May (played by Gwilym Lee), not only he has a unique look, but also pretty good personality that he's calm, somewhat charming and well-respective guitarist of the band, which i think Gwilym is also did a good job of his role.

As for the rest, they're used for the story for Freddie's relationship like Paul Prenter (played by Allen Leech), who's not only a manger, but also Freddie's gay friend for affair, Ray Foster (played by a fallen comedic actor Mike Myers) who's an EMI executive, but loosely based on the real life EMI chief name Roy Featherstone and Jim Hutton (played by Aaron McCusker), who's Freddie's next love interest, but the downside is that he was hairdresser who met him in the nightclub in reality.

Despite some characters are also have inaccuracies, but the characters are quiet good for not just the look or the depiction, but its the casting whether they fitting nicely. Especially with Rami, he kicks ass of his main role.

And now for my final opinion of this film.

Overall, since "Rush" is my favorite film based on true story, but Bohemian Rhapsody is a pretty good film with an ok story, a wonderful presentation and the characters are pretty nice to see on the big screen. Even though the movie was suffered of incorrect history for Queen fans, especially the AIDS scene, which is an easily point out of criticism.

Despite the botched writing and a nightmare development with Bryan Singer, it had a mixed reaction when it came out. For me, i don't think its not that bad, inaccurate aside, but its really nice to see the movie about Queen in the big screen, especially my father and i watched the movie together and we had a great time. This is the film that i recommend to watch it if you're a fan of Queen or even your curiosity. If not, well, just stick to the documentary about the group and Freddie himself.

So for that, i give this movie a 7/10. Go watch it if you want.
