amibonaija: This movie was over hyped, I have to rush and see it at cinema Delux. But it didn't meet my expectation.

I was expecting a detail of the civil was in picture but what I saw was like an abstract of the main thing.

Is this the "half of a Yellow. Sun" or should we wait for another?

What is your view ?

It's a movie not a documentary. Even a 120minutes documentary cannot cover the civil that spread over 3years.

Very funny and naive criticism you have there, unless you are out to intentionally smear the movie.

candiva2013: Most big budget movies are over hyped, so don't be suprised. The only edge they have is that they use very high quality camera and then invest alot in publicity
most still deliver

People and their attitude of discouraging others from doing things! That you watched it and Didn't like it, does it mean someone else won't like it? Your views about things are different from that of others! When will people understand this See how you just cancelled out another man's business! Can't you keep your opiniion to yourself?

Please, always allow other people to get a first-hand experience of things for themselves!!!

Oya, that one isn't good enough abi? Shoot the better one!!!

It is one of the must see Nigerian movies in 2014 and one of the best movies to come out of Nigeria.
It gave me the opportunity to date a new romantic interest.
The love scenes are WOW!

shakaz: didn't enjoy ''12 years a slave'' after all the hype, so I'm not surprise this one also turned out same way.

Your are correct. I wonder how that unimpressive movie got Oscar....
Re: My Experience Of "Half Of A Yellow Sun" At The Cinema by Nobody: 1:49pm On Aug 04, 2014
For wia. Well, standing around waiting for the movie we eventually chose, I saw the preview and I was tempted to have a rethink of it. But my date, teeo, **who been they say make we watch am, now doing sakara wey he supposed dey thank me*** told me we should just stick to our 'guardians of the galaxy' and I sure am glad we did. because what I heard, the movie ain't all that.

But omo, the video quality was barrrrdddd!!!! Very very lekker. Purple hibiscus for make better sense than that sef.

I think it was an amazing movie!It wasn't intended to capture the war in its entirety. It gAve me an insight tho.. It is a brilliant moviie tho!The only issue I hd was using American actress to play Nigerian characters when wehave equally briliiant actresses

desdichando: Transformers 4 was overhyped
i tell you.that movie was crap.when i watched it,i was wondering if they were trying to make it a comedy.....so many unnecessary scenes...the worst movie in the transformer franchise.

this is an idiot trying to be a critique ...how is the movie flawed

give us your yardstick
from what perspective did you assimilate the movie

did you view the movie as a child and expected guns blazing

did you view the movie as an intelligent adult following the dialogue monologue the unities of time and space the plot the climax the resolution and carthasis then purgation

you don't just come with this statement publicly

how is the movie flawed

to make matters worst you said civil was
hmmm bro its civil war ..so you can't even make a simple correct sentence then what if doing an adaptation... it means converting a prose to a drama or movie

so my son... reason well

who made this front page. anyway ?

I believe shes not in the position to write about the civil war because she didn't experience it. I tell those who care to listen that if they want a detail account of the civil war they should read Adewale Ademoyega's book: Why We Struck. Also Fredrick Forsythe: The Making Of An African Legend.

Re: My Experience Of "Half Of A Yellow Sun" At The Cinema by enuel: 2:38pm On Aug 04, 2014
Thats quite unfortunate.... I am sure I wont be disappointed. This is nollywood and hollywood coming together. I got an sms from Multitexter.com that more people loved the movie after seeing it at the cinema. Man cant be overtly be satisfied since our expectations are insatiable. Lol!

Hmmm, that s something. Thanks for the prescription.
