If he had said he loves watching Nollywood movies so he can see the flaws from most producers and directors and correct them since he is Mr know it all, He would have been applauded... Not saying he hardly watch..
No hate, I love his works, the stories are tight, costumes are dope, Locations legit..
He should just apologise already..
It makes no sense mbok!

I hardly watch

aunty read the interview again

https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/movies/i-hardly-watch-regular-nollywood-movies-kunle-afolayan-id8858238.html

you crybabies are just wailing for nothing. do you expect him to spend his whole day watching those movies with uncreative storylines and scenes?

I hardly watch them either and his comment is on point!!!

you can cry from now till tomorrow but that's the truth. 80% of those movies are uncreative!!!

Jaideyone:
I'm not surprised this is coming from someone that calls himself an evil forest

https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/movies/i-hardly-watch-regular-nollywood-movies-kunle-afolayan-id8858238.html

"I hardly watch" that was what he said. which means maybe one in a week, one in two weeks.

I'm in the same category. I can't come and waste my time watching a movies where the producers can't even make a reasonable accident scene.

even small me earning a token per month I'm too busy to waste my time watching uncreative movies.

those of you crying and fooling yourselves over his comment are just pained and jobless.

kunle is not the best by chance. he's the best cos he's different!!!

kill yourself

Hehehehe you will not kill me with laugh, these Afonjas always forcing their mediocre people down our throats, he is best in what? in talking rubbish anyhow i guess?
Who is even this Kule, if not for this threads i swear i dont know him. He is a mediocre like Omotala.

safarigirl:
the funny thing is that the cast of Genevieve's movie is made up of the same actors who are in the Nollywood movies brother Kunle refuses to watch

Is it Pete Edochie, KOK, Nkem Owoh? All these people are prominent actors in Nollywood, the Nollywood Kunle does not watch. For all his top rated movies filled with actors who are more interested in speaking English than relaying emotions of characters, none have gone international. Genevieve shot a movie using a cast that Kunle would NEVER put together, with a story line that is too 'basic' for Kunle, and she got international recognition.


Genevieve made a movie with the old Nollywood and packaged it so well, Netflix bought the movie. It is not filled with intrigue like October 1st, it is not a mystery or suspense like the CEO.....it is just your good old family comedy with a little drama. Simple in its plot and humble on its cast. There was nothing extra about it.


Kunle should learn from such humility. You cannot achieve a thing when you only seek to copy other people's styles. You cannot be a Nollywood producer and be looking at Hollywood. Hollywood has their own story, stop trying to copy someone else and try to be unique. When Kunle realises that, maybe Netflix will buy something from him

even you are falling without proper thinking

https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/movies/i-hardly-watch-regular-nollywood-movies-kunle-afolayan-id8858238.html

he said he "hardly"

he never said he doesn't watch at all.

pls subscribe to iroko TV or go to YouTube and spend the weekend watching Nigerian movies then come back and tell me why any serious individual should watch Nigerian movies all the time.

we've all come here to laugh about how you can tell the storyline by simply looking at the poster or movie art.

we've all been on NL to laugh about how Nigerian movies are usually the same story line.

but then someone says he hardly watches and you ignorant ones are interpreting it as he doesn't watch at all.

read the interview again slowly

Akanti50:

You fool, are you in anyway suggesting Genevieve's movie is common? or are you saying the likes of Pete Edochie, Nkem Owoh, KOK are not international actors or what?
Geneviene is onlky not recognised in Nigera but outside he shores of this country they regard her as a number1 god of African movie screens.
Genevieve used those great guys cos she knows even Kunle and his casts are under her and those legends, thats the reason why Netflix bought it in the first place cos she never use any Yoruba mediocre actors that are never popular.

I wonder what he is saying there. Of course anything Genevieve touches should be gold because of who she is, she remains the face of movies in Africa as a whole;. The world respects those Igbo actors of old, legends like daddy Pete Edochie, Kanayo O Kanayo, Nkem Owoh not some cheap actors and ashawo actresses springing up here and there, the have become an eye-saw to the movie industry in Nigeria reason Genevieve had to shoot this groundbreaking movie Lionheart in Enugu where Nollywood all began. Genevieve remains a god to Omotala, Kule and all Yoruba movie makers..

I lost..really ... Somebody wrote ' I hardly ' ..but was misquoted and was even tagged ' proud ' WTF is really wrong with Nigerians mentality

Uncle I suggest you read my post again and understand me well before quoting..
If the statement he made came from you, it wouldn't matter...
What was he trying to portray even if he barely watches it, he should keep it to himself.
I know we have uncreative producers with dead story lines and boring concept the fact is we grow to learn and keep growing..
Even among the almighty Hollywood movies,
There are producers and directors who's done movies with dead story lines, amateur lighting position, bad camera shot, and even boring concept,,you don't see them calling themselves out..
Appreciate what you have mbok..

Nollywood is Igbo and Igbo is Nollywood.
Use that same Wikipedia check the same list from 1992 till date and tell me who runs the game. Your fantasy dominance is just laughable i swear. Only Lionheart produced by Genevieve made more money than the first ten in your list put together. When It comes to Nollywood its a no go area for Afonjas, they dont even know how to act in the first place. Kunle is a mediocre.
Genevieve remains a living god in African screens just as Khan is to Bollywood.

My friend this is why i hate Afonjas, they make life difficult for you with their ignorance. I have just referred you to your source and you refuse to go look it up. from as far back as 1992 till date tell me who run the game as far as Nollywood is concerned. And as for the movie better than the rubbish you posted, LOINHEART is simply the answer.
And as for the money made just an endorsement from Netflix alone gave her an undisclosed amount for the movie 'Lion heart' before premiere, which made her the first Nigerian movie to feature on Netflix, which prompted her to be invited by CNN for an interview with Richard Quest.
Genevieve remains a god to your Kunle and Omotala put together

Until he made this foolish statement. His brand will be shifted from too after all they are same Nollywood.

Thats what i'm answering to. And dont even start with me on list of movies cos i will gladly give you more than 100 of the that are topnotch from Igbo producers .. Remember Living in bondage, Senator, Aki and PawPaw..
You are only mentioning the recent ones from 2015.

DUMB LOGIC.

In the same post where you castigate Kunle for copying Hollywood, you make fun of him because none of his movies was bought by Netflix. Is Netflix owned by a Nigerian? Or even an African thing?

Don't you know the moment you commend Genevieve because her movie was bought by Netflix, you lose the moral right to criticise Kunle if he does stuff the "international way". You did not even rate Genevieve's movie based on Nigerians' acceptance rather international platform recognition.

Very dumb. . .once again!

KUNLE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

So U expect him to watch those idumota or Ababa cheap films? To go low or go higher?
Its like expecting Dangote to be studying pure water makers instead of studying Bill Gates

I have said this over and over again, we need national formatting and resetting. The headline, the response from this woman and the adjoining reactions have shown vividly our poor thinking pattern. In an interview the man was asked about the impact of the poorly subtitled movies on young viewers and in his own words, He said, "... Truth be told, I hardly watch them because I am keen on watching movies that will challenge me and change my orientation about certain things. My children watch them a lot and that does not make them speak bad English." .
Now here is the issue, how poorly subtitled movies now represent the Nollywood in general and the ones that challenged him became Hollywood. Please let's not be easily fooled because that is the same way we assess and vote leaders in the country. Listen to people and use your God given brain to analyze information.
