ohaleoghene: While you are wrong ! Let me enlighten you , and only hope you learn from this . Movies world are fantasy world , totally different from the real world . My lecturer who took me on drama , said and I quote ' in art we do not find reality ,when we do , it is no longer art ' poster , what caught our fancy in movies are the fact that this things do not , and if they do happen arre very rare , and we do only hear about them , and then we say , oh , just like in the movies . Haven't u notice how people who find it hard to believe a certain story say , I am sure you saw that in a movie , that sure can't happen ! So your analysis my dear is crap ! Think of it , won't you find movies boring of it gives us exactly real life situations ? If that is how movies work , while ,.I rather wait till such happens to someone around me , and save the ticket money for a meal .You my friend should knw and appreciate when people are being hilarious. Or are trying to tell us that you dont realize that the op is just being funny and was indeed very good at it? There was no need to call his nice piece crap. @op great work and style of presentation. |

If we drop the 'whites do it better' mentality, we'll come to properly assess and see how faulty some of their films can be. The OP spoke about some of those clear gaffs in their movies and you can pick many others if only you watch with the same critical eye we use on Nigerian movies. Eg Was watching IRIS some days back and saw the scene where the nuclear bomb was snapped and sent to the commander from North Korea, he bent his phone before the image opened to view it in landscape. How did he know it wasn't snapped in portrait mode...and the usual one man heroic stunts which could sometimes get very boring...the ease with which one lady beats up over two well trained guards...the way a one man assassin goes on rampage faced with many other trained shooters(with little or no protection) and defeats them all - their own bullets hitting the shutter, table, lamp, anything but him... Too many to mention. 1 Like |

The guy just did analysis based on obtainable facts and sights. Final acceptance is yours. But what he wrote is so true sha. Anyways, movies aren't expected to be entirely realistic! |

Vin Diesel, Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis are always forming 'touch not my anointed'. It only makes me laugh. Even though the story line is usually predictable (except Oblivion which I was catch unawares in), I love other things like the tight production. |

senbonzakura_kageyoshi: Men number 4 really gets my attention. I mean there was a time I used to feel sorry for the bad guys and hope they win! Even in cartoons I remember praying there will come a bad guy smart enuff to but put buggs bunny in his place.

senbonzakura_kageyoshi: Right off the bat, I will have to announce that i’m not a fan of Nollywood. Right from the name to the many, many crappy movies, so many that they can fill the whole of Lagos and still as for extra sheets from Ogun State. And if you’ve read this particular post of mine on Nairaland, it probably underlines that fact. Much of what I hate is how predictable Nollywood movies are. However, I have to admit that Hollywood movies are sometimes as bad as Nollywood movies. Think i’m lying? Okay, disprove these:common dude, dats y it's called fiction. Main u guyz in naija think shallow sumtimes o! |

Baddestguyp: so u're telling me u prefer jet li fightin on nepa wire to series lik the event? Dude u hav no taste for movies. Even 24 is good cos its realistic except d 24 hour rule. Most of the recent hollywood movies r trash, bt some of their series r good lik: the americans, the event, prison break, tean wolf (only werewolf iish i've eva liked) e.t.c. The interestin ones r the non-episodic ones bt burn notice is good. Then also realistic korean series lik: slingshot, the great seer, lobbyist, crime squad, e.t.c. Korean love stories makes gals expect too much 4rm guys. Bt boys over flowers is good Am not a dude , am a chick . Well you seems not to even get the op at all . If u talk about 24 been so real , then.I guess you watch it through rdio Nigeria, because there were places where Bauer break rules and save the day , fougbht off so many bad guys single handed. Wait is like Nigerias , maybe just you , the op and few others do not understand the rudiments that made up movies and other arts . This things are fiction , please use the dictionary . Fiction ensued fantasy , unrealistic event ..talking about prison break , it is so unrealistic. What guy draws such enormous tatoo on himsf ? Like thou seriously , but we all enjoyed the movie . |

Re: Five Ways Hollywood Movies Are As Bad As Nollywood Movies. by udohhoney: 9:38pm On Aug 24, 2013 |
one thing you fail to understand is that acting is not real and we all know this conciously and subconsciously. We all know what a film trick is and we all love it. The thing the hollywoods guys know how to make these things look real and possible unlike the nollywood guys who cant even know how to make a gunshot. The trick in hollywood looks matured and masterful and ours here looks like shit. I think the most reasonable you should embark writting is that nollywood should stick to drama i mean unprewdictable dramas or go learn the art in hollywood just like the indians did. |

ohaleoghene:Have u watched hero by jet li? Do you know that the movie "Hero" was a representation of chinese history (referring to the unification of china by d quin dynasty). That story isn't fiction (even though d characters themselves maybe fictional). The movie is a representation of facts. So can u combine the historical significance of the movie and the fact that jet li and his friends where fighting untop a banana tree or bouncing off the a lake with the tip of their swords. now compare the movie to the series "Ju mong" Another movie derived from facts, but played around with fictional characters and semi fictional narrative. Last bullet: Who said 24 isn't realistic. How many times does jack bauer bleed for his country. He has been tourtured like any real covert agent would. Lost his wife, J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ when we all though it would be a happy ever after (in season 1). Ave u ever seen steven segal sweat in any fight! Men dust no dey Touch the dude. All stunts in jumong were believable. Nobody is saying there shouldn't be stunts in movies, but they should strive to make it believable as most (not all) are. #i rest |
