Oga, Yorubas dont fight like Romans. That movie is a roman empire classic movie.

In the olden days, we read it that the two commanders will face themselves and chant incantations till one commander overwhelms the other. Then fight will ensue.

The film misrepresents Yoruba culture so badly. Go and watch the "woman king" on netflix - it was a failed attempt to replicate it.

Persephone1:
Now I'm curious to see the movie

Watched it, love it.

MT must be a GenZ or Non Yoruba to criticize the movie. Not that I blame him, one may not be able to relate with some things out of one's culture.

Akasammyoka:
Are you mocking me, thought I just told u I don't hear shit

MT:
Wacky storyline. Nice visual effect.

Yorubas don't fight like Spartacus in war or in a fight challenge, the ending is so predictable and the story line is so tacky - A bad replica of "the woman king" movie.

Femi Adebayo, dressing like a roman king, which I found so alien - should not have acted that part - Chatta or Lalude could have been spot on.

Wars were fought like Romans army with swords. Yorubas used charms to fight in their wars.

All in all, for me:

Story Line - 20%

Visual Effect - 65%

Anikulapo movie still remains distant number 1.

osuulola:
Jagunjagun is a good one but there is a reason screen writing is a career in Hollywood.
The story as a whole is interesting to see. Coming from the Yoruba genre where Africa magic has made them lazy is a big push for the sect of Nolly wood.
The art direction was top-notch. The majority of the acting was awesome to say the least but the story development is not the best that it can be. Why is Ogundiji a terrible person? What is the need of showing the different kingdoms with no clear cut direction at first? Why did we learn Ogundiji had a son when he will not be a victim of revenge - except for part 2!
The school - I take is an idea from Spartacus - but what about showing us some classes. Then they were meant to be warriors but they did more of raiding. The honour of a warrior is lost in the needless murders of 'civilians'. Init?
It is possible the best Nigerian movie for a long time - it is definite the best action movie Yorubawood has ever since but Abija who create the genre deserved a shot and Lalude - those are the real veteran of the Yoruba action genres. I hope they get more scene time and be released from being used by skit makers.

A culture that has turned most offspring to ritualist. I beg there is dignity in labour. If it's by charm Russian, china, America or even Israel for no stand tall today.

Trustedpronet:
JI beg i beg, yoruba should stop all these juju films...they should concentrate on using modern technology in their war films. These are the kind of films Sunday igboho watch that motivate him to believe he can create yoruba nation with mere cow horn and broom. I go try watch the film anyway.

talking about tribe already.. i was right. all i am saying is there is room for improvement. but its not a 10/10..

India and SA are getting better, we are dwelling in sentiments

etrange:


You missed his point. He's not saying you shouldn't point out the faults in his submission. He's saying shouldn't call him liar just cause you don't think what he said is right. When you don't agree with someone's opinion, simply say, "I disagree", "I don't believe" or "I beg to differ". You don't call them liars just because they have a different opinion, logic or experience.

A liar is a terrible person who knows the truth, but decides to spread lies for personal reasons, not someone who's saying what they actually believe to be true, even if it's wrong. You're not in the guy's mind to know if he was lying or not. That is why you don't call people liars in an argument like this. It's insulting and it makes the conversation toxic. Just disagree, and present your counter opinion/logic. Imagine a teacher calling his student a liar cause he got a question wrong or a doctor calling his colleague a lair cause he doesn't agree with his diagnosis. Hope you get the idea now.

This isn't meant to attack you cause I make the same mistake sometimes myself.

DeLaRue:
People should please leave @MT alone.

He expressed an opinion about how Yorubas fought wars in times past. Some have countered and provided a more correct view.

That's should be enough. On reflection, he would probably now admit he was mistaken. That's fine. We all make mistakes.

Calling him a liar, and some of the aggressive responses to him are totally unnecessary as they draw attention away from an otherwise interesting and somewhat educational thread.

Let's get back to talking about the film. I'm not a film person, but this indigenous film success story warms my heart on this grey, overcast Saturday afternoon

Thislifesef:
Nothing I hate more than those asaba movies.
Immediately I see anything zubi Michael Michael, be it advert, movies, skit o I just quickly switch channels.
I no fit dey watch and listen to "na we dey here" "na we be big boys for this town"

Omoawoke:


Smelly akpu eater will just open mouth and say things you will wonder where it’s coming from.
Please how are most Yorubas ritualists? I guess ritual is a thing of your family. Nollywood and Nigeria was known for sacrifice, thanks to igbos.
Please stop opening your dirty mouth to say stupid things. It makes some of us wonder if the average IQ of southeasterners is below average

God bless you!
Infact,yorubas fight to entertain

Trustedpronet:


I can't count how many times we caught them with human heads. What about yahoo boys ..or should I upload all their videos? After watching the videos you will then tell me whose mouth is dirty.

The use of ogun (war) ogun (charm) ogun (medicine) oogun(sweat) will send non Yoruba speakers crazy 🤣

You’re the one misrepresent Yoruba history Witt the nonsense you’re spewing. Yorubas fought a lot of wars with weapons like sword, guns, bow and arrows etc in horses back. It’s even more irritating seeing you repeat the same nonsense despite the several corrections by those who are more knowledgeable than you.
