The Set Up (2019)

Unique from Nollywood

[6/10 · 24 April 2020]

A nice concept that was poorly executed. Unnecessary flashbacks made it seem like you were watching the movie twice. The first 30minutes had poor audio making the actors sound adlibbed and the overly dark theme hid the expressions of the actors.

Chief Daddy (2018)

Imagine trying to make indomie without spice

This movie is soo bad that 5 minutes to the end you're still wondering what's going o. Same old Ebonylife narrative of using a big party scene and star cast to sell am movie

Lionheart (2018)

Wrote better stories at 6years

The storyline is very shallow, i mean she basically ended all her problems by falling in love with a man after selling the narrative of an independent strong woman. I have a feeling Netflix only bought this to paint Nollywood as shallow to the rest of the world.

King of Boys (2018)

Very wonderful for Nollywood. 9+4/2

[7/10 · 24 July 2019]

On a Nollywood scale I'll give this movie an 9 because of it's unique storyline and excellent production which sets it aside from other Nigerian movies but just like other Nigerian movies it was excessively long and had extras who didn't know their roles, some part of the movie was unrealistic eg. the fire on the cell part but that's not the issue, the issue is this; as i was watching the movie I couldn't help but feel nostalgic, after a few minutes of brainstorming I remembered where i had seen the movie before if you can't remember I'll remind you, it's Al Pacino meets Francis Ford, yes The Godfather II to be precise. My original rating was an 8 but because of it's lack of originality i give it a 4 on a world scale and 9 on Nollywood scale. If other Nigerian directors can learn from this and just remake Hollywood classics the Nigerian cinema would be a better place.

King of Boys (2018)

One of the best Nigerian movies ever.

If you enjoyed the Godfather then you'll enjoy this. The storyline was beautiful and the plot twist at the end was incredible but there was some very unrealistic scenes that prove to be plot holes. SPOILER ALERT. The shooter of Eniola's daughter had his hand high in the air only for the bullet to hit her stomach. The phrase which the police chief had used when dropping the bribe is not one someone would repeat unconsciously. And finally the fire at the prison only showed outside when the officer entered the prison there was no fire in sight neither was the place hot. By all logic Eniola was supposed to die in that prison due to suffocation but she miraculously was unharmed, the prison bars didn't even get heated. But all in all the plot is very solid.
