No disrespect to Mr. Imasuen, but I think that if a historical event of that much importance is going to be covered by him in a film, he should make a deliberate effort to step up the quality of his work by several notches. I've seen parts of some of his other movies and I wasn't really impressed - but then again maybe I've been spoiled by Hollywood. 1 Like |

Lancelot's work are not always mindblowing. He is not one of idumota guys and he is not superb either. But his movies make it to the cinemas.....So maybe i can call him upgraded version! . I hope he doesn't release it during the time when Izu Ojukwu's "76" comes out......as that film will just crush this one with box office |

Well, I know him to handle all these 'Royal academy (another name for Emem isong ) movies, but let's see if he can pull this off. |

sholay2011: He can't (sorry for being pessimistic). But he is not the 'improving' type; he has always been this way in his craft. I watched Adesuwa (a story about benin as well), I just felt like killing the VFX supervisor |

VillageBoi: Na the DVD i watched. I know this isn't right but....i think i've come across it on youtube before (and i think it is illegally uploaded)......Maybe you can take advantage of that (I don't it will be in High quality though). Really, i won't advice you to buy it either. I bought it cos of the hype but i was disappointed! It's a really superb story, very nice plot, great picture and sound quality, good cinematography, 'okay' directing, but the effects spoiled show (and at a very crucial part sef). Then the fight scenes were properly filmed, but terribly edited with poor sound effects that could've have done a lot (like the clashes and friction of swords and all). Sha just watch am. |

Re: Invasion 1897: Lancelot Imasuen Goes Historical! by VillageBoi(m): 9:38pm On May 23, 2013 |
speedyboi: They should have put it on Distrify to make some extra money there. How do we support 'New Nollywood' if we don't want to buy a physical DVD? They need to get in with technology and take advantage of it. I might watch the Youtube upload but a low-res will make it seem even crappier. |

speedyboi: Hahahahaha you dey ask? |
Re: Invasion 1897: Lancelot Imasuen Goes Historical! by Nobody: 10:04pm On May 23, 2013 |
VillageBoi: You should be able to get the DVD in stores..Just look. I don't think it's online though. It was distributed by Nollywood Distributions and the company doesn't really do online stuffs, but when it comes to hardcopy DVD, IT IS one of the best in that! You won't look too much VillageBoi:I really do not know ooo |
Re: Invasion 1897: Lancelot Imasuen Goes Historical! by VillageBoi(m): 10:33pm On May 23, 2013 |
speedyboi: Hahahahaha bwwwaaaaahhahahaha (http://www.afrikandvd.com) DVD Adesuwa-1 = $1.99, shipping to 'England' = $42.30... yeah right! |

VillageBoi: I was wrong! |
Re: Invasion 1897: Lancelot Imasuen Goes Historical! by VillageBoi(m): 10:54pm On May 23, 2013 |
speedyboi: No, not at all. I'm sure I'll find it somewhere much cheaper. Or will have to resort to Youtube. Once filmmakers have done the cinema run they really need to start making their films accessible to people that want to pay to watch them... or how else are we meant to support our industry? |
