Sucked. Ziggy Marley should be ahsamed.


Funny how they had an intro talking about how proud he was of this turd. This film was a boring mess with nothing interesting to say about Marley. It's a total rushed and half assed biopic to make money off of his name. If you want a good Marley film just watch the documentary from 2012. It's much better than this piece of shit.

I mean they couldnt show the real bob because it would ruin the gravy train.

Haven't seen the film yet, and I would definitely recommend the 2012 documentary Marley, because that's how great it is. That being said, it actually took 20 years for One Love to be made, so it's not a "half-assed" rush job like you claim. Plus the Marley family was involved in every aspect of it, from start to finish---at least three family members were the producers. They also had a say in who would play Bob, too. Point being, I figured the film wasn't going to be a warts-and-all treatment of Marley, so that's no big surprise. Having been a big reggae fan for some years, I'd still like to see the film, even though I already know Marley's life story. Here's an article about how the films finally got made, after many years:

Was totally not surprised when I saw the credits rolling and saw so many Marleys popping up. It totally felt like exactly what you would expect from a movie with such producers.

The documentary was WAY better. This movie was all over the place. No flow. Disjointed. Confusing. I just couldn't get into it at all. Watch the doc and call it a day.

wdym intro? they Jim Caviezel'd the movie?

reply

At my showing they had an intro with Ziggy saying how proud he was of the movie and that he was on set everyday etc.

What a corny thing to do by the studio. Let the movie stand on its own. That should be a DVD extra.

reply

I agree with that. Forcing people to watch an intro propping up a movie doesn't convey confidence.
