This movie is really poorly written and yet the general idea is good.
Get better writers, take time to tell the story. Also get quality directors and editors.
In the last few years, Tyler Perry movies build up well, crescendo and fall apart all too quickly. That is due to poor writing or a discombobulated set of ideas. Viewers deserve better.
You get a great cast and quality acting but the final result is miserable. The score is poor as well.
Let's get back to high standards in telling these stories. No excuses. It has been done before.
Give it some finesse. Let's go!

Bob Marley's presence and essence shines through. You rise, fall and rise again in this re-telling of his life. The world is going to fall in love afresh with Bob Marley and his philosophy. Simple ideals but so impactful.
The movie feels short because there is so much more to tell. If only they could make parts 2-24: I will be right here waiting.
Kingsley Ben-Adir nailed it. We love it!
My mind and spirit bonded with the main characters. I eased into the film and stayed in, not wanting to take a step out. It is told with such depth of feeling but so authentic of character. A pure spiritual experience. Still jazzed and delighted hours later.
The actors did a stellar job. We have learned so much about his life, Jamaica and the world. Pure joy to watch! Could not help dancing and singing softly all through. Finally danced my way out of the cinema!

The narrator should be African, to tell our stories from the correct perspective.
African names must be pronounced in our language and intonation because they carry deep meanings.
Smacks of a colonial perspective when everyone, apart from the actors is non-African.
Expected better from Netflix.
Netflix, Africa must tell her own stories. That is a deal breaker. We can no longer turn a blind eye to the foreign telling of our history.
Glad you have begun to share our stories pre and post slavery and the fact that's we fought for our freedom and independence for over 400 years.
Some of us are still fighting today.
