For those who are familiar with foreign movies with car action like the Fast and Furious franchise, you might not be overly impressed. But for Nollywood, this is a HIGH standard. It wasn’t just the action but the way each scene was directed, the shots, the use of slow motion, etc
One of the big challenges Nollywood has faced in exploring more technical genres like action is the inability to execute. However, Seven is an impressive Nollywood action film that you can not go wrong watching. https://t.co/2tV0s2Vnfx
The first part has the most interesting flow out of the whole film. However, the writers couldn’t maintain the flow in the second part. It seemed a lot happened offscreen that we weren’t really clear about. This is what brings out descriptions like ‘disappointing’ or ‘boring’.
This movie is quite interesting but at the same time boring. Intriguing might be a better word but it was also disappointing. This is because the writers unintentionally lost the plot somewhere along the way.

In any case, For Maria: Ebun Pataki is not an exposé, it merely follows the story of one with such an affliction. The movie film set itself up for success from its cast selection and overall, it was brilliant from start to finish and you can’t go wrong watching it.
The movie aimed to throw light on a rarely discussed issue in this part of the world. It didn’t do too much to explain the causes of depression but merely touched on the form that concerned it -postpartum depression, and moved on to its effect https://t.co/aPiTtqB7ae
The movie is proof that you don’t necessarily need to fill up a movie with a lot of ‘star actors’ to shoot a good movie. The characters knew their onions and didn’t drop the ball for a second. They brought the right energy into the movie and kept viewers entertained all the way.
If you need a lighthearted romantic movie to chill with over the weekend, we recommend this movie for you. This is a well executed simple, beautiful love story. The movie is interesting, witty, and entertaining. https://t.co/eFMKdefcEs
The movie had a vast array of interesting characters and yet, ended up with nothing. Not everyone in the first movie had to be visible in the sequel. They should have picked a character and treat its story not like a sequel, but like a different movie set in the world of the 1st.
This is yet another star studded sequel that leaves the audience confused and dissatisfied. Instead of progressing with a fresh story, it chose to walk back on what it already established and spent the rest of the time trying to follow too many storylines https://t.co/jEEXfFzdHQ
It was more upsetting that the lead character managed to draw viewers away from the potential intrigue of the house, just to bore us with a wooden romance with a girl who seemed too educated for her character.
The story itself started off great with the political drama, however, the political elements felt dry. We expected a political thriller with secrets, blackmails, plans and counter plans but we were disappointed. https://t.co/l4Cj31w5i7
The simplest way to describe this film is an eighty-eight minute version of every joke you ever heard about having multiple wives. As common with such jokes, the movie was full of ridiculous and unlikely scenarios which of course, made absolutely no sense https://t.co/GNDzBablrY
Welcome To The Year of More Stringent Ratings!
Nollywood has stories for days and we will attempt to uplift those who are intentional about storytelling and urge those falling short to upgrade their works.
As usual, all ratings over 10
The movie had no plot point that could stand on its two legs. Akpos as a character is rather brash and brainless and he tends to get annoying real quick. It was a terribly bad idea to have made him the central character and force the whole story to rely on him for substance.
Christmas In Miami could have been a feel-good Christmas movie that highlighted beautiful aspects of other culture but unfortunately turned out to be a concoction of corny and forced humor. https://t.co/RHDxdCgNhi
A Naija Christmas is one of the best executed feel good movies to come out of Nollywood. It was lighthearted and had a fleshed out story. The setting of the Christmas gala showed above-par production effort, great extra casting and excellent editing. https://t.co/tL0pLTFtiu
