The Quality Of Nollywood Movies Has Gone Down Drastically by GeeM: 7:04pm On Nov 12, 2023
I was watching some Nollywood movies yesterday on cable tv and couldn't fail to realize the decline in quality between recent movies and those of old. The quality of the script, storyline, new actors and all was just below standard. This made me remember the days of Nkem Owoh, Pete edochie, Sam loco efe, Chinedu ikedieze, osita iheme and co. Actors who graced our TV screens and gave us undiluted joy. Not forgetting their female counterparts like Genevieve nnaji, omotola, oge okoye, Rita Dominic, chioma chukwuka, mercy Johnson, ini Edo and co.

Nollywood has upgraded a bit. But they take the new good movies to Netflix first.

grin grin Absolutely true.Majority of Nollywood movies today, especially the Asaba ones are completed trash, portraying all sorts of rubbish and unrealistic themes.
Not all of them are even commercial or market worthy with so many being resounding commercial failures.
Many Nollywood producers, scriptwriters and directors produce complete rubbish as a result of lack of proper research on a particular subject, unrealistic themes, repetition of a saturated storyline like Prince meeting a poor village girl, competition among royal children for the throne and etc, poor lighting and sound, poor focus of the camera.
So many Nollywood movies portray unrealistic themes like a king spending millions of naira,maids and guards standing like trees to serve fantasy royalty.This is very common with the Asaba movies, which portray royal power which is totally unrealistic in real life.
Many Asaba movies are highly predictable which includes the royalty craps.By merely looking at the poster,title you can tell what happened in the movie, without even watching a single scene.
You can't compare the craps churned out today with the movies of the 90s and 2000s.
In those movies, there's proper research on subject matter before production.
But even so,30% of Nollywood movies today are wonderful especially the Cinema ones which often feature actors like Stan Nze,DKD, Omotola Jalade Ekehinde, Genevieve Nnaji,RMD, Ramsey Noah,Olu Jacobs,Monalisa Chinda,Omoni Oboli,Ifeanyi Kalu, and others like them.

Asaba movies are a complete disgrace to movie making, often being very predictable and portraying rubbish and unrealistic themes.

You are over correct,bro.
The quality indeed has really deprecated tremendously, with lots of crappy films with crappy storyline, unrealistic themes, being churned out every year.
The actors you mentioned really graced Nollywood and are still, including Liz Benson who has long staged a comeback to the screen.
