I could smell this through the screen
I mean, what else do you need me to say? Its fecken Queen. Freddie Mercury is outstanding; the man’s towering presence is absorbing, mesmerizing and inspiring. The music is, obviously, incredible and the live arrangements are all incredible. I loved the covers they made for things like Little Richards and whatnot.I have minor issues. Some of the most popular songs seemed to last very little. I'm not sure if the off-stage stuff with them walking around the country and stuff made even some of the members look very awkward. And maybe I missed something, but the performance for Rhapsody was confusing. Like you have Mercury kicking off playing the piano. Then it cuts and nowhere is on the stage and we cut from the empty stage to some juxtaposed images of the crowd waving some candles or to some of the color lights. It was bizarre and anticlimactic. And because of a lot of this, some of the second half sets feel like a lot of the energy wasn’t as peak as in the first half.All in all, even with its minor flaws and all, this was still an incredible concert film that makes it clear why the band and its frontman all became icons.TODAY SCHEDULEMoonwalkerCaptain EOThe Eras Tour (Taylor's Version)Queen: Live in Budapest
