You're better off with watching some documentaries on Bob Marley or just listening to his songs than going to theater for this movie. The main character didn't even try to be Bob Marley. I mean no one can, by he didn't even put the slightest effort to mimic his facial expressions or dance or BM's playful manners. I don't know who he was trying to portray but It wasn't Bob Marley based on what I saw on his interviews or the documentaries. Simply this wasn't him.
The editing is so bad, it's all over the place. Switching the timeline was too excessive, going back to the past and coming back and do it again and again and again and again for no freaking reasons. Moreover too many imaginations with his dad in a burning corn field like place. For what? And many scenes feel totally disconnected. It's like someone randomly combined tens of tiktok videos into a an hour and a half long video.
There's no depth in the scripts and actings, and played a bunch of bits and pieces of Bob Marley songs here and there. Everyone knows he's got so many amazing songs but that doesn't mean that the movie has to have all of his songs played during the movie. They've got great examples how to make an musician's biography movie like Straight Outta Compton and Bohemian Rhapsody.
I know It was going to be hard to make a movie about Marley, but at least they should have done some homework.
