An incredible concert film featuring one of the most popular rock bands of all time.
In this movie Queen is more than just a very talented rock and roll band. They are sheer force unlike anything else in the world. There are many bands that are great musicians but few that can command a stage and make their presence felt (even in a movie) than Queen. From Freddie's fantastic interactions with the audience to the way all four of them move around the stage to Roger's theatrical drum solo to just the sheer charisma of these four individuals they keep your eyes and ears fixated on the film the whole time. The music is just as incredible. They run through a selection of their greatest hits such as We Will Rock You (duh), We Are The Champions, Bohemian Rhapsody, Another One Bites the Dust and Crazy Little Thing Called Love as well as some fan favorites like Keep Yourself Alive, Get Down Make Love, Sheer Heart Attack, Love of My Life, I'm in Love With My Car and Now I'm Here, plus some album track from their most recent studio effort (The Game) like Dragon Attack and Save Me and even a cover of Jailhouse Rock. All of these songs are performed to complete perfection, and some of them even sound better here than on the studio albums.
This is the kind of movie that I can imagine a kid seeing and immediately deciding to become a rock and roll star. Anyone who likes rock and roll music (even just a little) needs to see this film.
