Im willing to give it another go, but as I said, some of the "artistic liberties" taken were a bit too much fo me, when they weren't needed. But again, coming from somone who's holy trinity is MJ, Queen and Bowie.

I hope they make a more accurate film at some point.

Taken at face value I thought it was very good.

I would probably feel the same if it was MJ; annoyed by the inconsistent timeline, not completely convinced by the actor playing MJ, but overall happy that people are rediscovering the music. I’m hoping this post puts me on Vincy status.

This is so fucking annoying. It's just an accusation at this point? AND HE WASN'T EVEN THE FUCKING DIRECTOR IN THE END!!!!Thoughts? www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-46998838Bohemian Rhapsody has been removed as a nominee for a major LGBT award show, following new accusations of sexual assault against director Bryan Singer. The allegations were the result of a year-long investigation by US magazine The Atlantic, and included claims that the director had sex with underage men. He denies the allegations, saying they are a "homophobic slur" against him. But Glaad said it would not honour his latest film, saying "survivors of sexual assault should be put first". Singer, whose previous credits include The Usual Suspects and X-Men, was fired from Bohemian Rhapsody three weeks before filming ended, amid reports of erratic behaviour and personality clashes with the star, Rami Malek. British director Dexter Fletcher was brought in to complete the project, but in accordance with Director's Guild rules, Singer's name remained on the film's credits. Glaad said in a statement: "This week's story in The Atlantic documenting unspeakable harms endured by young men and teenage boys brought to light a reality that cannot be ignored or even tacitly rewarded. "Singer's response to The Atlantic story wrongfully used 'homophobia' to deflect from sexual assault allegations and Glaad urges the media and the industry at large to not gloss over the fact that survivors of sexual assault should be put first." Glaad is a media monitoring organisation which hands out awards each year to recognise outstanding representations of the LGBT community in the media.

I dont get it, was he fired because of all the allegations against him, or because of the alleged bust up with Malek?
I just hate the guy for Superman Returns, but to exclude the film based on the above is absolutely demented.

He was fired because of Malek and the film was finished by Dexter Fletcher, although I think Singer still got a director credit. He may be guilty, I don’t know. But how can they punish the film based on allegations?

Either way, it seems incredibly small minded, which is ironic considering its something the gay community experience en masse i imagine

Bohemian Rhapsody should be penalised for being a ropey movie, not for Bryan Singers allegations. I saw it, enjoyed it for what it was, but am genuinely shocked it's up for any awards. It was beyond tacky and watered down for the masses. I could see that and I'm not even a particularly big Queen fan.

I don't think the Oscars would've even considered recognizing this film a few years back. Sliding ratings means they're desperately trying to win people back and so they've started nominating films that were big at the box office, but slim on artistic merit. I watched it in the same way I watch Hollyoaks. "This is entertaining, but it's low-brow and deep down I know it's complete shit." It's like eating a McDonald's. The whole recreation of Live Aid was so unnecessary. Why spend 20 minutes watching someone copy the performance frame by frame when you can watch the real thing on YouTube? Not to mention the awful CGI crowd, which made the whole thing look so cheap.

I just felt the 20 mins spent trying (and failing) to recreate Live Aid could've been better spent getting the timeline accurate and treating Freddie's AIDs diagnosis in a more respectful, honest and human way. Instead, they basically fictionalised the events surrounding the disease that killed him, just so they could slot in some crowd-pleasing hits. Very tacky and not really respectful to Freddie.
