Without much ado, I'd like to know what y'all think about the recent nollywood movies that have been hitting the cinemas. I'd also like to know why AY-produced movies are always centered on the same dimwitted, play boy, "comedy-miss-road" kinda stories.

AY is not creative and relies on either stealing jokes or recycling funny ones. He knows the Nigerian viewer is very forgiving when it comes to comedy so he releases half efforts with money as the aim. If it gets a few chuckles people accept it quickly.

I really can’t say as I do not visit the cinemas for Nollywood movies. Omotola’s Alter Ego was something I could pay for in a cinema. Half Of A Yellow Sun was meh, not bad but not phenomal also. If I watched Brother Jekwu in the cinema I would’ve beat up whoever suggested the movie to me. Gidi Blues wasn’t bad. I’ll watch it to encourage Nigerian film makers. I have a soft spot for anything by Kunle Afolayan so he’ll get my cinema money anytime. Hakkunde was another nice movie with beautiful scenery and cinematography.

I believe it’s a hit or miss. There are a lot of movies I see on Africa Magic which I thank God no one dragged me to see on the cinema screen.
