Il film biografico dedicato alla nascita e ascesa al successo dei Queen arriverà nelle sale italiane soltanto a partire dal 29 novembre con 20th Century Fox, ma Bohemian Rhapsody è stato già presentato a molti membri dell'industria hollywoodiana in due proiezioni dedicate alla stampa maggiore e alla Screen Actors Guild.
Nonostante il film diretto da Bryan Singer e terminato da Dexter Fletcher pare soffra della sindrome da classico biopic nella sua convenzionale struttura, a salvare lo show fin troppo tradizionale c'è Rami Malek nei panni di Freddie Mercury, vero cuore pulsante del lungometraggio nelle sue perfette movenze, vocalità e grado dio immedesimazione nel celebre fromtman britannico. L'interprete americano potrebbe dunque partecipare alla ipotetica cinquina del miglior attore protagonista ai prossimi Academy Awards.
Di seguito alcuni dei tweet più significativi, in attesa che l'embargo per le prime recensioni cada a partire dal 24 ottobre, in concomitanza con la premiére al Wembley Stadium di Londra.
Bohemian Rhapsody is a straight-on biopic with plenty of Queen music and a strong performance by Rami Malek. It will get mixed reviews. It might play with audiences.— Anne Thompson (@akstanwyck) 7 ottobre 2018
#BohemianRhapsody has plenty of flaws, but as a straight up celebration of #Queen and the life of #FreddieMercury, it's fun from start to finish. #Rami Malek is exceptional and the rest of the band shouldn't be overlooked either, each inhabiting these rockstar personas with ease. pic.twitter.com/6GdyUmF3PC— David Opie @ LFF (@DavidOpie) 7 ottobre 2018

It’s great FUN & it will ROCK YOU!! #AStarIsBorn, you’ve been served!! #Queen #FreddieMercury #Galileo pic.twitter.com/grykKkGjoE— The WolfMantz (@MovieMantz) 7 ottobre 2018
Rami Malik’s phenomenal and game-changing performance as the legendary Freddie Mercury/Farrokh Bulsara cuts through what could have been a very formulaic and basic story of #Queen in #BohemianRhapsody. He owns the fuck out of that film and breathes life into Mercury.— Dino-Ray Ramos (@DinoRay) 7 ottobre 2018
Bloody Hell! Absolutely did not expect @BoRhapMovie to be a thousand degrees of fantastic. Rami Malek has a kind of magic and one vision of a champion performance. Prepare to be rocked!!! #BohemianRhapsody pic.twitter.com/dzJ7UO6hYu— @jazzt (@jazzt) 7 ottobre 2018

Rami Malek gave it everything. Bless him. God knows what kind of shit he was dealing with on that production.— Kristopher Tapley (@kristapley) 8 ottobre 2018
BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY: That Live Aid performance gave me chills. The rest of the movie...— erickohn (@erickohn) 8 ottobre 2018
#BohemianRhapsody - several teary eyes in the house. Great singing by Rami Malek. Great film!— J Don Birnam (@jdonbirnam) 8 ottobre 2018
My biggest takeaway from BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY is how much the rest of Queen resents Freddie Mercury. But Rami Malek is outstanding. Also, the fact Mike Myers is in this movie is genius and insane.— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) 8 ottobre 2018
