Nah, Wakanda Forever was extra special. Nigerian movies are usually cheaper, so, you'd probably have had to pay 3k, not 5.

If you want to see a movie, you should try booking a ticket online, particularly with Genesis cinemas. I don't know if others do so, but Genesis does. That's where I check the price.

Na around the new year period tickets were going for 5k inclusive of popcorn and drink...

It's a psychological thing, if you go with a lady as man the pop corn and drink is made compulsory. But if on your own you can easily wave it off leaving the ticket at that 1500-2500 range.

@safarigirl what do you mean by “ MC Oluomo would be proud, every agbero in Lagos would be proud”

Are you implying agbero’s are murderers, brothel-running criminal syndicates with a reputation for drugs dealings? This allusion is totally unfair to the hardworking men & women of the transport unions. I make bold to say that they are more relevant to the economic well-being of Nigerian & Nigerians than most ivory tower workers. We all know the impact if/when they decide to go on strike. Pls respect their labor and stop conflating them with criminals.

Gracias!

Safarigirl, you did a good review. Well done. I m now looking forward to see the movie
No one should take this account serious. He's man operating behind female account to scam nairalanders of their hard earned money. He's the notorious troll known as obama/messi. He runs numerous monikers like pellskodak, lewishamilton, pells, pells1, and many others. His picture below.

Attention seeking movie at best. nudity was the highlight.

Bt I wonder when a movie was ever rated high simply because of its new audacious nudity when other aspects were mediocre or average.

like BBN put into a movie

Nothing to learn except sex and violence.

No be mumu movie abeg.

Anybody watching because of the nudity is just a pervert that needs psychological help.

It was a very good movie, not with as many twists and suspense as KOB did, but still very very good and the acting performances were all great.

Nigerians need to purge themselves of the need to appear moralist, or frown upon nudity in movies. The nudity in this movie was necessary, so was the rape scene. The writing was very good and I say this as a writer myself. It was also more inclusive than in KOB.

How many Nudity dey the film wey na that one you focus on?

Some of you are so weird. What is in nudity that jars you so much? It was a very good movie, perhaps you were to excited by seeing breasts to acknowledge the brilliant performances of the actors.

You shouldn't have watched. Stay away from movies that have 18+ on them, they're for grown adults.

I don't know if it's the same shanty town that is showing on Netflix that you watched....9/10 are you joking?

How can a dead person send a voice note? Explain

What was that rubbish at the end of the movie?

Script writing 6/10

Whole Movie 5/10
A dead person did not send a voice note. What is wrong with some of you? Do you even pay attention when you're watching something?

She was calling Nancy Isime when they came for her. Nancy Isime did not pick, so, the call went to VOICEMAIL. SHE NEVER CUT THE CALL. What Nancy played was A VOICEMAIL NOT A VOICENOTE.

Haba. Pay attention when you're watching a movie, before you rush to come online and post something you're not even sure of.

And what rubbish are you talking about? That is what is called A CLIFFHANGER in a production. It's a way of teasing you with the possibility of another story to come.

You people don't deserve good things in Nigeria, just stick to watching Asaba Nollywood and leave well written productions for people that understand them..

Cus of Nancy Isime why most people watched that series

I watched for Chidi Mokeme. Thankfully, I don't have the hormones of a teenage boy, so, Nancy Isime's performance was not the most enthralling thing for me.

If I want to see p0rn, I know where to find it.

This movie kept me awake all night, Nollywood has upped their game I must say...


I was in an African country recently, and the feedback I got about Nigerian movies was exceptional, even the so called old movies we don't really like makes sense to most of them (our movies are subtitled to suit them though cos they're French speaking)...

So with this crop of movies coming out, damn!, I can boldly say we are now truly international

They could pass their message without being extremely explicit and showing naked women though. Otherwise good job from Nollywood again.

It was trending on Twitter yesterday so I looked it up on Netflix. I've only watched episode 1. So my review is premised only on the first episode.


The subtitle is trash for a Netflix series.

Chidi Mokede custome was near perfect and he held his lines.

My reservations about the movie is that it's plot is far from the realities of Lagos. Since the setting is in
Lagos.
The can't think of any area in Lagos state that's so lawless and prostitute-infected as depicted in the series. I will take it the series is exaggerated just like " The Woman King."

Sos far I will give it 7/10

No, they can't

The message is in those things you think are unnecessary.

How do you establish that someone is ruthless, if they're not shown doing ruthless things? You need to despise a character, and you wouldn't feel that strongly for the character if they did not show them doing despicable things.

Nothing in that production was unnecessary. Nothing.

Old man, if all you watched was a trailer and read reviews, maybe you shouldn't be commenting on it.

There have been a lot of great reviews, but like I said, if your mind cannot take 18+ viewing, stick to the Kids friendly productions. Leave adult productions for adults.

Na everywhere for Lagos you don enter? That movie is anything but unrealistic for Lagos. If you know the things that happen in the nooks and crannies of cities, you'll be shocked. Even me sef, once upon a time I did not believe some places exist in Lagos, because I been never enter there.

As long as money is to be made and spent, there is nothing that is unrealistic. You just haven't been in those spaces.

It cannot be debated with, because someone who has not watched something cannot form a valid opinion on it.

I have read reviews and seen clips from Game of Thrones, but I have never watched it. If someone is talking about it today, I will not comment on it because I do not have enough information to form an opinion on it.

If you haven't watched something, common sense requires you to not make any judgements on it.

Small test.

Do you have an opinion of a country you haven't lived in or visited? (Even though I watched a trailer of the movie in view)

Nothing in that production was unnecessary. Nothing.

For example in the drug production aspect, those ladies could wear at least a bra and it wouldn't take anything away from the movie, at least I have watch this done in foreign gangsta movies as well.

Otherwise goodluck to the actors and producers, and well done for your review.
