 An incredible load of crap and screw Bryan Singer who I never liked.

This review condemns Bohemian Rhapsody for its lack of authenticity and realness, emphasizing that the film feels like a compromised, sanitized product rather than a truthful portrayal.

 If the authors had possessed even a small part of Varg’s communicative skills, the whole thing would have flowed much better.

 Labeling the origins of this metal subgenre as the delirious actions of a group of exhausted individuals is at the very least reductive.
