Unpopular opinion: biopics are the most boring genre of film and I'm sick of hearing about a new one every goddamn week.
What truly annoys me about biopics is that Hollywood makes no attempt these days at these being true to the real-life characters they're portraying. They're 100% fiction using well-known public figures as the source of their verisimilitude. Movies like The Social Network and The Imitation Game, to name just these two, have barely any resemblance to their real-life counterparts. That's also true of Bohemian Rhapsody.
Given that, I don't even understand what's the point of them.
Bohemian Rhapsody was probably the final straw for me.
