A biographical movie about Jamaican reggae singer Bob Marley.
Bob Marley: One Love 4K ReviewWhen watching the trailers I was scared they were gonna focus more on the music than on the man, and that's exactly what happens.
I feel like they remained só surface level on Bob Marley, the man, and focused more on what his music brought. And I think that's what happens when family is heavily involved in the movie, because they will want to play safe, and that's what this movie does, with the character of Bob Marley.
The screenplay also didn't feel like a final draft, some of the dialogue felt repetitive, and some of it, quite cringy. And for negatives that's what I have.
Kingsley Ben-Adir and Lashana Lynch absolutely kill it, they are fantastic and an early Oscar contender performances. Another thing I was scared was the accents, because at times they can go to over the top and make it feel like a parody, but they weren't they nailed it.
The music was also emaculate, if you're a fan of his music, you'll love what they did, and how they paid their respects.
I feel like for the right audience this definitely will be amazing. It's a cool movie, fun time. I just wish we could learn more about Bob Marley, not just his music.
