SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The Couchpotatoes Now this is what I call a great quality documentary. Even if you're not a fan of Bob Marley you still can enjoy this biography. Just because it is well made with plenty of archived footage. And all of the cast are the actual people that had a place in his life, in his band or in his daily life. The documentary is of course full of great songs, from the beginning of his career till the end. And honestly I don't know many people that just don't like Bob Marley. He's one of those artists that you can't hate. Full of positive vibrations. It's a pleasure to watch this documentary , to see where he came from, from the ghetto, to see how far he progressed until his tragic end, beaten by cancer at a much too young of age. He will always be remembered as the Rastafarian that only wanted peace and unity for everyone. One Love!

grantss Great documentary on a great man: the musical and lyrical genius Bob Marley. Thorough - some interviews and performances are pretty rare. Well-told - the interviews and sub-titles move the story forward, not narration. Director Kevin MacDonald (The Last King of Scotland, One Day in September, Touching the Void, State of Play) weaves an interesting and compelling story. Marley's philosophies and drivers are there for all to see.Quite long, but everything is relevant. No padding, no unnecessary and/or empty interviews.

leopardfish1 I was 15 when Bob died and had heard several of his songs like most people but I never really listened to him...Nor did I know anything about him. This documentary changed all of that and I happily listen to his really groovy music often. What a great musician! Despite his flaws, what a great man! How did I miss this guy? He got little attention in the Southeast I suppose because he is the wrong color for a lot of people around here...(sigh) The documentary starts kind of slow but it picks up speed quickly and fills you in on a lot of fascinating info on Jamaincan culture and the young Marley climbing out of abject poverty and achieving an exceptional level of greatness. At the end I found myself (and still do days later) dealing with a sense of loss not only because of his death at 36 over 30 years ago but because I never knew the guy and I find that I really like what he was doing and what the doc and his music have told me about him.I'm very happy I watched this documentary and do recommend it to everyone.

mvassa71 20 years after the release of "Time Will Tell", I was expecting something more, and maybe better, but this film was a real letdown. Other than a few personal anecdotes, most notably from Bob's half-sister and cousin, there is nothing new here that we haven't heard before. Also, the editing of live concert footage was rather insulting. The director would splice audience shots from different concerts, which I found very annoying and dishonest. Stylistically, the documentary lacked the allure that really good documentaries have, like "The Two Escobars", or "The Fog of War"... This was more of a meat and potatoes effort.This was a movie produced by the Marley's, and is clearly just another money grab by them. If you haven't seen "Time Will Tell", go watch it, it's much better. But better yet, if you love Bob Marley and the Wailers, and really want good info, read the book "Catch a Fire", by Timothy White, it's fantastic.
