You can tell the surviving members of Queen had editorial say over this movie, because it's severely lacking in substance.
It functions as an abbreviated "greatest hits" of things that possibly happened in Queen's history while pretending to show a complicated view of Freddy Mercury.
The music's great of course, but you could just throw on your well-worn copy of Greatest Hits Vol. 1 to get that experience, couldn't you?

I love bad movies. Getting together with friends to drink some beers and laugh at poor continuity, questionable acting, and incoherent plots? Classic.
The Asylum doesn't make bad movies. "Movie" implies an attempt at application of art. They don't care. They aren't trying. What they make isn't bad because they're incompetent, it's bad because they didn't even try.
Manos? Plan 9? As terrible as they may be (and terrible they are), they are still movies. Somebody set out to realize their vision (however incoherent) and try to entertain audiences. The Asylum isn't doing that. They're not making movies. They're just being shameless because they know people will buy their products either 1) on accident or 2) ironically.
Save yourself the time and watch some Roger Corman stuff. It's full of low-budget schlock with actual artistry. When it's bad, it's still good.
