Freddie Mercury in Becoming Queen (2004)

Becoming Queen

7/10

Not bad

Interesting as it has interviews with members of Wreckage and Smile, early bands the members of Queen were in. As a result, well worth watching for fans, or those interested in rock music. Probably there are no new insights, but well worth owning if you are a fan. More interviews with the band (which aren't BBC file tapes) would have been valuable. Other people, such as management might have contributed. And, do you think they really couldn't afford to buy the soundtrack, rather than just try and compose a 'sound-a-like' - which doesn't work particularly well.

Nevertheless, well worth watching for those with an interest in this most interesting of rock bands. Also avoids the Spinal Tap lookalikes - the downfall of many a rock documentary.

No Music? Why bother.

I got through about 15 minutes before I started skipping ahead looking for some actual music by Queen. Not one note of a Queen song was in this film. What a waste. Why make a documentary about a famous rock band without getting permission/rights to use the music??
