ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

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.

rikardpetrusson A great movie about the rising of a legends, smacked with riffs and fantastic music from one of our worlds greatest artists! If you have a slight interest in music you better watch this movie!He was born in the remote Jamaican village of Nine Mile in 1945. His mother, Cedella, was black and 16. His father, Norval Marley, a white man aged 65, was employed by the forestry commission to prevent the theft of timber. He rode around the countryside like a Cossack and styled himself Captain, though there's no evidence he'd held any commissioned rank or served in any war. In the only known photo of Norval.Some people feel the rain, others just get wet / Robert Nesta Marley

SnoopyStyle This documentary is directed by Kevin Macdonald (Last King of Scotland) about the iconic Bob Marley. It has a lot great music, and educational for the everyday casual fans. I'm sure their most ardent fans know all these stories. At 144 minutes, it is quite long for most people. It flows well especially the last half. Lots of things start to happen. One thing I do have to warn people. It's necessary to get used to the tough Jamaican accent. It could get difficult to understand. There was a lot of talking heads interviews. But in the end, the music is great, and the history is enlightening.

Michael_Elliott Marley (2012) *** 1/2 (out of 4) Director Kevin Macdonald epic look at music legend Bob Marley follows him from his early days to his rise in music and eventually his death at the age of 36. Through concert, interview and audio footage, we get to hear from Marley throughout his life and of course there's a lot of attention given to the music but there's also a lot aimed at Marley's lifestyle and his hopes for the future. We also get interviews with his son, daughter, mother, wife as well as countless band members and others who knew him personally. At 142-minutes, this thing certainly packs in a lot of information and I think die-hard Marley fans are going to really love this thing. There's no question that nearly every aspect of his life is covered from his early childhood, to his womanizing and of course the final few months of his life. The film really does an exceptional job at giving you a complete look at the man and it doesn't shy away or try to hide his darker side or moments that aren't as good and fun. The documentary really shows him as a complete human, which is something a lot of these films miss. Those who are just mild fans or are just wanting quick look at how Marley was might find this to be a bit too long but I do feel this was made for die-hard fans who want to know everything. I really enjoyed all of the concert footage that they added because one gets a great idea of what Marley was like on stage. Of course, countless songs are on full display here, which is another major plus. Certain aspects of Marley's life gets additional attention here including the Smile Jamaica Concert and him getting shot before hand. Also, the final months of Marley's life also gets additional scenes and it's still shocking to see him dying so young.
