Like most suburban white kids born in the 80's I can say I love the music of Bob Marley, the greatest hits that is. I can also say he was a Rastafarian, meaning I thought he really loved smoking weed. So I give my review of this movie based on what I wanted: I wanted to see how this man created such powerful music to make extraordinary changes in those around him and like him, and I wanted to know what made him the man he was to be able to do what he did. I won't say this movie does neither of these things but I feel it only hit on one portion of his career/legacy and didn't do a great job of that. Overall the acting is top notch and by the end you feel an overwhelming since of love for what this man did for music and culture.

Ok so when I say I wanted to hate it I mean there's been two remakes of this franchise by Burton which I hated. That being said I get Burton has his own style that has made him loads of money and more than a few films I enjoy, these remakes just weren't it for me. But onto this movie! I thought I would hate it because I'm not a fan of musicals or introduction movies where there's no real need for it...but this movie really does win you over! The acting from stars to minor characters is incredible, the scenery, music, singing, and sets are amazing as well. I could say some negative things because I don't believe in a perfect movie but they are so little it doesn't make you regret enjoying this film. As always I hope this review helps and you enjoy the film!

So I love anything that has to do with King Arthur and Bernard Cornwell is one of my favorite writers so to have him do an Arthurian book series was awesome!! I love the tv version of "The Last Kingdom" by him and was really hoping this would be similar but sadly it's not even close. The creators/writers of the show either never read the books or decided to just ignore them entirely. I've watched all 5 episodes to air and every one makes me more disappointed in what could've been a great show. Outside of the fact it's very different from the books the acting, writing, casting, and overall production is just bad. Only gave it a 5 cause I love the legend and original books so much.
