VIDEO : ?Bohemian Rhapsody? Won?t Exactly Rock You

An object example of how a film can be entertaining and even exhilarating without being particularly good, ?Bohemian Rhapsody? has the driving energy of a stadium anthem and the fizzy meaninglessness of a bubblegum pop song. As a biopic of flamboyantly theatrical gay frontman Freddie Mercury, the movie frequently falls short, but it does provide interesting origin stories for many of the hits created by Mercury?s band Queen. Wisely, the movie wraps everything up with a rousing recreation of Queen stealing the show at 1985?s Live Aid, providing the equivalent of a band making you forget a mediocre set by performing a dazzling encore.
