Bohemian Rhapsody
Directed by Bryan Singer
Singer Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor and bass guitarist John Deacon take the music world by storm when they form the rock 'n' roll band Queen in 1970. Hit songs become instant classics. When Mercury's increasingly wild lifestyle starts to spiral out of control, Queen soon faces its greatest challenge yet – finding a way to keep the band together amid the success and excess.

Critics, per Wikipedia
Bohemian Rhapsody grossed $216.7 million in the United States and Canada, and $694.4 million in other territories, for a total worldwide gross of $911.1 million, against a production budget of about $52 million. On 11 November, it surpassed Straight Outta Compton ($201.6 million) to become the highest-grossing musical biopic of all time (it was surpassed by Michael in 2026). Bohemian Rhapsody went on to set box office records for the highest-grossing biographical film until Oppenheimer (2023), and the highest-grossing LGBT film. It also set the record for the highest-grossing conventional drama film (it was surpassed by Joker in 2019). It is Fox's fourth highest-grossing film, and their…

60 of 223 · most liked firstWhen Wayne’s World came out in 1992, Bohemian Rhapsody was already considered a classic rock song as it was originally released 17 years prior to the movie. Remember when you saw that scene and laughed so hard in the theater, 33 years ago?
neutral · AI labelView post →As much as I like him, whenever Mike Myers shows up in a serious role it's always to add a semi-ironic gravitas to a film that does not fully earn it. Inglourious Basterds, Bohemian Rhapsody, Michael. It's like they are saying "we're so serious that we made Austin Powers act normal"
neutral · AI labelView post →GTA fun fact but if you zoom in on the dashboard in GTA IV you'll see a picture of Wayne and Garth from Wayne's World. The car is modeled after an AMC Pacer and called the "Rhapsody" in GTA because they sing Bohemian Rhapsody in the movie 🤓
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm on a plane and four of the five people around me are watching Bohemian Rhapsody at four different places in the movie. Four different Rami Maleks shaking around four different copies of that fucking 40 pound rats nest spirit halloween wig. I'm going to meet the air marshal soon.
neutral · AI labelView post →I hated Bohemian Rhapsody for multiple reasons (none of which are "that's not the right order of events!"), absolutely despise the film. It's still cool if it moved you coz Freddie Mercury was awesome.
negative · AI labelView post →Anyway, to conclude, I don't the story of Queen the band is all that fascinating because there weren't massive conflicts that make for an exciting film. It's no coincidence that the best parts of Bohemian Rhapsody are showing all the innovative stuff they did in the studio. That was cool.
neutral · AI labelView post →Do you think anyone was radicalized into believing the pedo elite conspiracies by Bohemian Rhapsody winning Best Film Editing because I still can’t explain it any other way than some sort of blackmail favor being called in.
neutral · AI labelView post →I love the contradiction of Tankies and Queer identity.. ::: spoiler Thumbnail Thumbnail is from the Bohemian Rhapsody movie where multiple scenes depicting same sex relations were removed by the Chinese government ::: Their historic figures and modern anti-Western states they so vehemently defend all have abysmal, actively hostile records and attitudes regarding LGBTQ+ rights and representation, with prosecution and state-sanctioned execution. Their modern "anti-imperialist" states, which…
neutral · AI labelView post →Longing for that old-fashioned romance of my youth…just need someone to burn me a CD with some basically unlistenable prog-rock songs, 30-second audio clips from the movie Clerks they found on KaZaA, anime theme songs, and just the back half of Bohemian Rhapsody for some reason…
neutral · AI labelView post →Elton’s on the BBC so it’s a good time to remind you that Rocket Man, the film, shits all over Bohemian Rhapsody, the film. Good day x
negative · AI labelView post →I do not understand music biopics like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and the new Michael Jackson movie: What is the point if you are just doing an impersonation? All of the original videos and music is still available. Why watch the same thing by someone who looks like an odd version of the real person?
negative · AI labelView post →haha, sorry, finally-FINALLY, the despicable Bohemian Rhapsody movie treats Hot Space as the band's nadir, and I think this is because the two band members who produced the film were the ones who hated that sound, while the ones who didn't (Freddie and John) had no say in the film's story
negative · AI labelView post →Bohemian Rhapsody is worst type of influential film. It not only made musician biopics stick to a already tired formula but it also made them bad. Like in general quality bad.
negative · AI labelView post →Does anyone want to talk about how terrible A Complete Unknown, the Bob Dylan movie is? It was worse than ‘Elvis’, maybe better than Rocket Man. So ridiculous! Bohemian Rhapsody got it right. Two thumbs all the way down. Ugh!
negative · AI labelView post →Just saw the final Mission: Impossible film. The pacing was atrocious. It had more editing than Bohemian Rhapsody. Every single scene was exposition. I loved it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Glad this is finally set in stone because for some categories, you can just freaking tell the voters didn’t watch the movie. You watch Bohemian Rhapsody, look me in the eye, and just TRY to tell me it deserved Best Editing.
neutral · AI labelView post →Back in 2021, much hyped Aretha Franklin biopic Respect didn't do the kind of business that Michael or Bohemian Rhapsody managed. That said, it's a smart example of the form, respectful and insightful, centred on great performance from Jennifer Hudson. 4 out of 5. film-authority.com/2026/07/01/r...

neutral · AI labelView post →Bohemian Rhapsody was such a perfect movie for the Bryan Singer downfall. Like just a total fucking stinker, one that pissed a lot of people off, right in time for everyone to find out what he had done.
negative · AI labelView post →If you watch "Superman: The Movie" immediately after the "Bohemian Rhapsody" video, you can imagine it's the subsequent trial and General Zod was the one confessing to his mama that he just killed a man. #TOTP

neutral · AI labelView post →I think out of respect for the actor you should never "revive" an actor using AI. If you wish to hire an actor for a tribute movie like Rocket Man, Bohemian Rhapsody or Yesterday, then I think that's fine, but not AI.
neutral · AI labelView post →Eternally grateful to my mom who, when I asked (at age ~7) if QUEEN was a one-hit wonder (only having heard Bohemian Rhapsody in the movie Wayne's World) she said, "absolutely not!" and educated me. QUEEN's Greatest Hits was one of the first CDs I ever bought and it formed my taste in music. 👑💞
neutral · AI labelView post →I just need to prepare for the discourse on the MJ movie by saying you can like MJ’s music and story and impact on pop culture…and still not like the movie. That’s fine. I hated Bohemian Rhapsody, but I love Queen. I was mixed on A Complete Unknown but I love Dylan.

neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve somehow never watched the film Bohemian Rhapsody (which is on C4 right now). What a travesty, still, I’m here now. It’s an absolute bloody joy.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching 20-year-olds “discover” The Odyssey “is a book” makes me feel the same way as watching them do “first listen reactions” to Bohemian Rhapsody on YouTube. Basically: I hope they enjoy the movie. People deserve to be happy. Also: Get off my lawn.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's still insane that Walk Hard killed the musical biopic genre dead for a decade, only for Bohemian Rhapsody to walk back in and be exactly the type of movie Walk Hard killed dead
neutral · AI labelView post →I love Kingsley Ben-Adir but that Bob Marley movie looks even more like Walk Hard played completely straight than Bohemian Rhapsody, which I wouldn’t have thought possible

negative · AI labelView post →The Bohemian Rhapsody that received two Grammys in 1977? That went gold* in 1976? That Bohemian Rhapsody? Propelled to fame by a movie from 1992? It may have had a little resurgence, but it was a stone cold classic decades before that movie. (I do love the movie). * now five times platinum
neutral · AI labelView post →It's funny how criticisms were centered around the business side of Michael's being skimmed over, because it's definitely a big part of the film. Reminds me how people criticized Bohemian Rhapsody for downplaying Freddie Mercury's gayness and sex life. Did we see the same movie? XD
neutral · AI labelView post →I guess my thing with the MICHAEL movie (and it's the same issue I had with BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY) is at a fundamental level I don't understand why I want to watch someone miming music videos and performances that already exist? Like, you know you can just watch Queen at Live Aid whenever you want?
neutral · AI labelView post →A Youtube advert has just promoted a movie about drug addled nonce Micheal Jackson to me that has been produced by the same people who did Bohemian Rhapsody.
neutral · AI labelView post →Which is a real bummer because BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY is a very bad movie (ROCKET MAN is the far superior pre-COVID musical biopic directed at least in part by Dexter Fletcher, if we’re keeping it 💯)
negative · AI labelView post →2025 watch #715: Wayne's World (1992) Perfect in-flight movie, and a better Bohemian Rhapsody than Rami Malek.
neutral · AI labelView post →Interesting question at least to me: NAME A MOVIE that you loved so much but so affected you emotionally that you CANNOT watch it again, FOR ME Bohemian Rhapsody. It killed me.
positive · AI labelView post →My mother: And what’s that movie? MAMAAA? Me: …Bambi? (It was Bohemian Rhapsody)
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm going to cheat here and say Bohemian Rhapsody (it was nominated but didn't win), but that film is a TURD, and shouldn't have been within a country mile of winning.
negative · AI labelView post →I watched the Monkey Movie (which hasn’t even managed to stay in the Paramount+ Top 10) and I propose we steal every Oscar Bohemian Rhapsody won and give it to the CGI Monkey. He deserves. youtu.be/o3HOYdlte8w?...
neutral · AI labelView post →I was riding in the car with my grandma and brother when "Bohemian Rhapsody" came on the radio. This was around the time of the Wayne's World movie. I sat in the parking lot of the North Grand KFC while they went in and picked up dinner so I could keep listening. I had never heard anything like it!!
neutral · AI labelView post →Are we all comfortable now with admitting Bohemian Rhapsody is a terrible film?
negative · AI labelView post →I cannot emphasize enough that Mike Myers appears in the film MICHAEL as a record exec, seemingly as an in-joke about him having played a (made-up) record exec in BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, which itself was an entirely pointless in-joke about the fact that the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" was in WAYNE'S WORLD
neutral · AI labelView post →Made the mistake of drifting into watching "Bohemian Rhapsody", which I imagine is a whimper of a film even if you actually like Queen.
