I do not know much about Bob Marley’s music. There are a couple of them, of course, but for the most point, I am unfamiliar.

The music was the best part of Bob Marley: One Love.

This tells the story of Bob Marley’s life. However, I did not feel as if there was much cohesive story in the film. It felt very much like the typical music biopic that we always get. There was nothing much new or different about this Bob Marley film.

Kingsley Ben-Adir played Bob Marley and he does a very decent job. Lashana Lynch played Rita and she was excellent as well. The acting overall of the film was pretty decent.

The main problem of this movie was the story. It was slow and plodding and I was just bored through much of it. The music was great and helped keep things moving.

The trailers focused on the shooting of Bob Marley in Jamaica, and that piece was done in the first ten minutes. I thought this was going to be the key focus of the movie, but it was not. I wish they would have focused in on a smaller section of his life.

The movie was not terrible, but it was not good either. I did enjoy the music here. Did I mention that already?
