Best movie of this year hands down!

Instant Favorite.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I have to write this review because this movie has got so many praises and good reviews here.I like to listen some reggae but I'm not particulary interested in Jamaican culture or rastafari things so I started watching the film from a very neutral point of view.Right away it feels like the director has some kind of crush on Jamaican culture and reggae and he is trying to pass on this new found love to his audience. But when you analyze this movie from critical point of view the acting isn't too great(terrible), the dialogue is boring, the camera work and directing is very very basic and the plot seems just to be there only so it can be called movie instead a this random mixture of music video and culture documentary In one word it feels FAKE. I think it would have much better impact if the director would have just filmed real life, random events and let the people be themselves without any acting..I couldn't even finish watching this because it just didn't suck me in at any point and that's why I'm not gonna give a rating to it either,

In my youth, I listened sometimes to the best reggae artists, seeing some of them in concerts and these Jamaican people are really magic : a blend of freedom, toughness, rebellion, happiness. And they are so funny to see : enjoy Jacob Miller's meal, the "Stepping Razor" walk, Dirty Harry in a nightclub, Gregory Isaacs in a party... They are really unique people and far more better than actors, they are exceptional characters playing nearly themselves.And the best is Leroy Horsemouth (in real life drummer of Burning Spear,Bunny Wailer, Max Roméo, ...), the drummer selling reggae records from shop to shop with his bike that is stolen. The drummer's revenge is to come. In fact, it is the story of "Bicycles Thieves" and "Robin Hood". But it is so vibrating. The music is strong and don't miss the 70's clothes.If you want to see a rebel musical movie, with actors nearly playing themselves, "Rockers" is really different, as it is brilliantly directed and written in the real Rasta settings by unknown Greek director Ted Bafaloukos (who also directed some video for the Talking Heads and Chris Isaacs). Rockers is a movie I saw many times, discovering it to friends, and it's always a funny pleasure to see it again and again and again.

I saw this movie when it premiered in 1977. Its as good today as it was then. If you're a reggae fan then this film will have you grinning the entire time.Its great to see all my favorite reggae artists. People like Robbie Shakespeare, Dirty Harry Hall, Gregory Issacs, Jacob Miller and Jack Ruby in a robin hood type film. The acting isn't great, but its still charming. The music is wonderful and the performance clips are a lot of fun.I suggest seeing the 25th anniversary edition of this film. A lot of cool things in it!REMOVE YA! --Dirty Harry

The "must" for every "Rastamann".It shows the original Jamaikan! it is funny, how they get the charakters together. When you watch Leroy stilling back his motorbike - faboulus! And Jakob "Killer" Miller,sorry that he die already,a great player.I live for 3 Years in Trinidad/Tobago and I can tell you, real hatty movie.
