always enjoyed bob marley
the new biopic musical film about him
was a bit disjointed
but
leads were very good
his message stood strong
music was a great bonus
especially loved the real footage at the end.

This film has been well received over here, though not really my thing. ‘Disjointed’ sounds like a fair comment.
Best wishes, Pete.

I think many people have loved the movie, and I did love hearing the music, but perhaps I was expecting more of a doc or concert movie

am a great Bob Marley fan; saw the clips from this; was not impressed; still, if it brings him alive to others it’s a good thing —

yes, I guess it was not as I expected, but at least, as you said, it brings him alive for those who don’t know him

I saw an interview with the actor portraying him on a morning show. He listened to many recordings of Marley talking to learn how to talk like him. A wig like Bob Marley was made for the actor. I want to see the movie too.

I’d not heard of the film, but if all I had of Marley was his official video for Three Little Birds, it would be enough.

I admit I had never heard of Bob Marley. But then we can’t be aware of every performer and should not be ashamed (and I’m not) to admit it. A commenter mentioned Three Little Birds so I listened to that one and found it delightful. Found several videos of the same song. :)

Waiting in Vain..one of my all time favorite songs..I love Annie Lenox rendition of it too. Did the movie have much real footage or just a little in the end?

just at the end, I may have expected it to be more in the style of a doc, because many people loved it
