Are Nigerian Movies Really That Good by soi(m): 2:53pm On Apr 05, 2009 |
I am really moved by the way Nigerian Movies are patronized along the west African coast. The surprising part of it is the fact that Francophone nations patronize them as well. Nigerian movie stars are treated as Hollywood stars. Many West African movie makers take Nigerian movies as their standard. Many Imitate Nigerian movies and even go as far as looking for folks like Jim Iyke, Genevieve etc to boost their production. This makes me wonder. Are Nigerians movies really that good. Well don't blame me. I am a Nigerian, I lived in Nigeria for most of my adult years. I act as well so I can criticize. maybe I am blind. Most moves are incoherent, most actors/actresses can't enter into character. Some cram and release. Talk of the picture, sound track. For the editing, most times you see continuity flaws etc. Are we there yet? Do we actually deserve this hype? Let me know your thoughts and your experience as well |

Nigerian movies arent that good , they only appeal to the largely illiterate society that we have in Nigeria and do not have a worlwide audience. -They have no good plots, screenplay,continuitya nd thier actors do not have any charcater, that is why we dont have any of our movies being screened across major film festivals. The absence of movie critics, censorship and ratings do not help matters . But i am for anything that can improve the revenue base of Nigeria. 1 Like |

Here in the US I loooooove Nollywood, My my has a house literally full of them , and my uncle here has made a nice bit of change renting them here. When my cuz came to visit from PH, he was like why am I into Nigerian movies so much, they're lame, poor acting blah blah blah He loves American Movies, and thinks they are way better than 9ja movies, But I differ: he says it because I'm to used to the American culture and I crave for soemthing different. Maybe so , but i know i looove Ramsey Noah lol |

platinumnk: I have the same problem.Eventhough it has its problems,I still love watching it.I guess becasue I want something different also. |

I dont really like the movies cos they're predictable. I dont hate them either. But Its very relaxing sometimes when you can relate to the movie you are watching better than Iron Man or Xmen. |

I thought the title should have been "Are Nigeria movies that bad?" |
Re: Are Nigerian Movies Really That Good by skyone(m): 6:30pm On Apr 06, 2009 |
The yoruba ones aren't that bad, quite educating indeed. But the English audible ones are next to nothing, very poor standard and always same story line; either love attack or business driven. They are very predictable as well, although the comedy side of it can sometimes be hillarious i.e Nkem owoh police man, agaba idu, etc. |
Re: Are Nigerian Movies Really That Good by luvinhubby(m): 6:43pm On Apr 06, 2009 |
i to spoke to som of nollywood producers in 1998, i told them our producers are mentally lazy, they don`t task their brains for creativity. NEK videos did Living in bondage and sold, every producer starts releasing cult movies, another one does My Love, it sold and they all rush into romance. I told them in 10yrs time at this pace, all of you will run out of ideas and the industry will collapse. Nigerians in diasporra are just watching them to keep in touch with home and nothing else, as for naija viewers, nollywood is dead. |
Re: Are Nigerian Movies Really That Good by Ascony(m): 6:50pm On Apr 06, 2009 |
Id rather go and sit in the middle of the sun than watch a naija movie |

African movies taking over the Caribbean like hot bread and butter and everybody is talking about this lyke dude . My personal review 1) very poor picture quality 2) Most of the time, you can predict what will happen next and predict the end of the movie |
Re: Are Nigerian Movies Really That Good by ban1(m): 8:19pm On Apr 06, 2009 |
[color=#000099][/color]u can only predict the end of 9ja movies if u r a 9jirian. My british colleague also enjoy it but i dont wanna discourage him. |

Re: Are Nigerian Movies Really That Good by sadboi: 9:29pm On Apr 06, 2009 |
I HATE NAIJA MOVIES!!! NEVER USED TO WATCH THEM WHEN I WAS IN NAIJA BUT SINCE I LEFT NAIJA, I JUST CANT REFRAIN FROM WATCHING THEM EVEN AS I ABUSE AND CRTICISE EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM. Mind you, there are lots of good stories but their problem remains very poor linking, directing, editing, concept, humour, bad video quality etc. Furthermore, we must take part of this blame as Nigerians frustrate the effort of these investors. Employing the services of critics, good editors etc, will spring up their budget which they rarely recoup. Lots of Nollywood movies' lovers pay close to nothing to watch these movies, youtube and so many other sites show them cost-free. Nigerian Govt is to take over half of the blame since it is their responsibility to stall copyright infringement |

Re: Are Nigerian Movies Really That Good by Davedavy: 9:49pm On Apr 06, 2009 |
naija movies na pure opata!!!i no fit waste my time on them.i wonder when we will be able to produce films with superb story lines like;Slum Dogg Millionaire. |
Re: Are Nigerian Movies Really That Good by server34(m): 10:50pm On Apr 06, 2009 |
Davedavy:Even though am not a fan of Nigerian movies, I know that there are quite a number of them that have story lines as good as Slumdog Millionaire if not better. Of course the production is wack, but some have interesting story lines. |

Re: Are Nigerian Movies Really That Good by londoner: 12:58pm On Apr 07, 2009 |
Nowadays, it is virtually impossible to get any Nigerian to see anything good in anything Nigerian. In a way, Nollywood will only recieve negativity here. Other Africans/Caribbeans enjoy them, there must be something they see in them obviously. I myself, love Naija movies, I watch them more than any other. Over the years I can count the number of times I have watched a Hollywood film only to be sorely disappointed. I watch Nollywood and enjoy them, sometimes simply criticise them, but I am not expecting them to be like Hollywood/Bollywood, they too started somewhere. Nollywood is still a baby, and has been made from people who are not trained in acting or sound/lighting. I think its a start, but the industry must be rejuvinated now that we have a following to build upon. For me, Nollywood is really that good. |
Re: Are Nigerian Movies Really That Good by ohaechesi(m): 4:04pm On Apr 07, 2009 |
this is ridiculous. does it mean that we can't even for ones say somehing about our beloved mother land. this hole thing is getting me sad, i must confess. Nigerian movies are nice, it all depend on what you desired to watch. as for me, i preffer jokes to Nigerian love movies |

Re: Are Nigerian Movies Really That Good by Nobody: 7:41pm On Apr 07, 2009 |
I know Nollywood has it problems but the amount negativity and bashing it gets often amaze me. Personally I watch Nollywood movies, mostly the Yoruba ones because their plots and acting a better. Now as for Hollywood don't even get me started. |
