I'm not, but any means, a fan of Reggae music. But I'm a fan of the idealogy that everyman can live side by side without conflict. I knew the songs, because who doesn't and it was an enjoyable movie. I've heard a lot was missed out, but from a passive viewpoint, it was a great insight into a genius man.

Don't understand a thing in this movie

Huge Bob Marley fan. Terrible film. The commenters who said the acting is good must be smoking some good sh*t… ooh and let’s use the word biopic.

Bob Marley and his music crosses generation of people and whatever tastes in music you have Bobs music winds its way into alot of people's soul, but alas, this film does nothing to cement that, messy up and down with subliminal messages of his childhood with no real foundation of what he was really like. it's a 6 out of 10 from me, and that's because the music playing was actually him.

They did a good job with the trailer. They made me believe that this film would be captivating. Unfortunately, it was anything but.

Boring and messy movie, doesn't know exactly what it's trying to show us at the end of the day. Just like most biopics lately.

Nothing but a cash grab.

I'm not going to watch this film. I've seen plenty of footage of Marley both performing and in interviews over my lifetime. From the trailers, I can see that the casting of the central role is just plain wrong. Plonking on a dreads wig does not magically transform an actor into Bob Marley, you need to act like him too and Kingsley is clearly not up to the job.

Underwhelming and uninformative. A lot of music biopics feel fake, and this fits right in. The production felt good, same with the cinematography, but it's nothing great. The acting from Kingsly felt so put on it took me out of several scenes. The whole 'biopic' side was so unbalanced. It dragged out parts that don't add to his life and completely misses parts that do. The musical side to this was great because of Bob's songs. The dialogue and pacing match each other in the number of times I eye rolled. A letdown from the key parts I thought it needed but an adventure for the good few parts.

What's that one biopic where they take an iconic and unique individual's life and force it through the Hollywood grinder to make generic pap for the masses? Oh yeah, all of them.

Bob Marley took an entire genre of music and made it special. Important. This (albeit earnest) movie with its info dumps, flashbacks, and God-awful wigs does neither to Bob Marley's legacy.

One Love is like a sausage: all Polish and no Heart. Watch the documentary Marley (2012) instead.

(I did enjoy the reference to the documentary White Riot which explored Rock Against Racism movement in 1970s England, which paired reggae bands with punk bands so that whites and blacks would hang out together and support each other. In this movie, Bob and some Wailers are in a punk club and "The Clash" is on stage performing the song White Riot.)

I came in expecting a level of production like: Rocketman, A star is born, Lalaland but my god was I wrong. If you do not love Bob, then this movie ain't for you

Even though 'Bob Marley: One Love' is definitely a rather generic biopic by the numbers, the movie does have a few highlights. Both Kingsley Ben-Adir and Lashana Lynch deliver strong performances as Bob and Rita Marley. And whenever you get the feeling that the plot is getting a bit tedious, the great music always makes up for it. It helps that 'Exodus' is such a fantastic album. All in all, a legend like Bob Marley might have deserved a more creative movie about himself, but it could have been far worse.

Solid acting can’t lift this above just being okay. It kinda coasts through random parts of his life and feels like I’m getting a cliff notes version of this real life legend. It made me want to learn more about Bob Marley and atleast the music was really good when played. Better than Boheim Rhapsody atleast.

It's fine, just nothing all that memorable.

I had a pleasant enough time viewing 'Bob Marley: One Love', though it does kinda seem a bit hollow post-watch - as in I don't feel like I've learned much nor actually seen that much, the movie has like three noteworthy events but then that's kinda it. The music from those involved also didn't feel amazingly utilised, I guess they didn't want it to be too jukebox-y.

Kingsley Ben-Adir does well in the lead role as Bob Marley himself. I'm not a Marley superfan or anything close, I basically only know his biggest hits, but the resemblance of Ben-Adir seemed off to me - a thought that was only solidified when the real Marley appears via archive footage at the end. Perhaps that's just me, though.

Lashana Lynch gives a good performance, spearheading the rest of the cast who are alright; interesting to see James Norton, Michael Gandolfini too... even if I didn't realise it was Gandolfini until the credits. Overall, it does feel like the film only scratches the surface of Marley's life. I wanted more from it, but to be fair it is still a decent flick in my opinion.

I knew nothing about Bob Marley's life (shame on me) and I can't believe what an interesting life he had. The songs are obviously amazing and I thought all the actors did a good job.

There are a few scenes that weren't necessary in my opinion (like the manager stealing money, it doesn't add anything to the story they're telling in my opinion but if it happened, I get they want to show that also).

There is one scene where a plane lands in London that looks so fake and it's hilarious because it's not even an important shot.
