It annoyed me that Freddie was portrayed in the film as being a diva and egomaniac, and even more so when you remember that Brian May and Roger Taylor worked as producers for the film. They should have objected to it and pointed out that Freddie wasn't really like that.
The film implies that Freddie thought he was bigger and more important than the band, then had to go crawling back to the other band members after his solo career had failed, and begged them to allow him to rejoin the band.
The reality is, Roger Taylor was the first Queen member to embark on a solo career, and eventually it was something which the other members (aside from Deacon) pursued.
