Lionheart 5/10

- No suspense
- No thriller
- No comedy
- Unfamiliar language with no subtitles
- Poor storylines
after dem go dey talk about tribalism, like she wrote that film for only her igbo people, believe me if i go to cinema to see this movie, i would ask for a refund, cos i may have taught i've been cheated...

The Netflix source ain't out yet. Let's wait and see if the subtitle issh will be fixed when it comes out. And like you said it will take an Igbo person to grasp it even if it's subtitled. Some phrases and words in our local languages doesn't have direct literal meaning in English.
Beorn:
For those that rated Lionheart 3/10, it's perfectly understandable as none of you understood majority of what was spoken in the movie which was Igbo. That for me was the major downside of the movie even as an Igbo boy that understood everything in the movie. Genevive goofed big time when she ignored subtitling the Igbo-spoken parts of the movie especially when Netflix bought the rights, which meant millions of people from different creeds and walks of life would be seeing it. It's a major turn off that'd reduce the success of the movie.

Even if it's subtitled, it'd take an Igbo person that understood the nuances of the spoken Igbo languages to really appreciate the movie and words. For example when Osofia told Phyno; "ifuro k'iru gi di ka mmiri omugwo" which loosely translates to "See how your face looks like the water used to bathe a new born baby during a mother-in-law's visit," someone that doesn't understand Igbo would've gotten the joke and probably laughed, but a full fledged Igbo person that understand the nuance behind the 'njakiri' (diss) would've ROTF when he heard it. The movie is nice.

Using Naija standard, I'd give it a 7/10.

My best Naija movie of 2018 still remains King of Boys. Planned on seeing Aquaman on the first of this year but we arrived late and King of Boys was the one showing and we settled for it. At the end of the movie, I was not left with any regret, plus my date enjoyed it as well. Win-win for me.

Lion heart.. I think it's high time i stop believing nairaland's rating... the movie na yeye
sense of humor to me 2/10
suspense 1/10
when i got 1:02 mins i had to fast forward it to know whats up.. biko the movie nor sweet abeg.

Aunty, why wouldn't sense of humor be 2 to you, when you hardly know the language used in the movie (you are not to blame though)

Suspense 1/10...The genre of the movie online says comedy not Thriller, abeg which kind suspense again you day find for comedy movie


The fact is that, even with subtitle, you might still not find it funny, the humor lies with the use of the indigenous language accompanied by the expressions, tones and mood used.

And on you not believing a Nairalander ratings anymore, what you have to know is that everyone here rates movies subjectively & based on preference, rather than being objective, so what is appealing to Mr A might be Repulsive to Mr B.

I rest my case.

See as this man is trying to pacify AHCB.

Why insult AHCB in the first place when you know that you are scared of him?

Presently watching the wolf of wolf Street.

The 3hours duration was the factor preventing me from watching all this years.

Now I am blaming myself for lack of patience.
Neighbors will soon have a come and tie me up with the way I am laughing cheesy

Nice opening 45 minutes.

Jeez..see me we wahalla, forming for who exactlyI watching a movie, I liked it & did my rating based on how I enjoyed the movie, so what's all this fuss about??

So saying my opinion about something, translates to me not knowing what am typing abi??

About reading some of the unfavourable comments on the movie here, so because some folks didn't enjoy the movie because of language barrier, i who did the opposite should join the bandwagon

alexistaiwo,now i know what it feels like to be pressured into other peoples opinion, I apologize via the BIRDBOX stuff.

Sister, the last time i checked, the review & rating i gave, was my explicit opinion, abi am I not entitled to one again??
