Sure, let's compare a 2007 Hollywood movie to a 1999 Nollywood movie. That's absolutely fair. You could have, at least, said Gladiator, instead of 300 to provide proper time range.
Now, that aside, what was the budget for both movies? Could the studio or actors afford proper trainers and dietitians? Were the actors given enough time to get in shape?
You see, that it's not just up to the actor's alone. I'm not changing the initial points you raised. I'm just saying those points are null.

Frontier is at the helm of vast enhancement in its quality since moving on from primary rural Internet provider to the metropolitan markets. It’s been a result of conscious steps taken forward by Frontier.

Then Scot Adkins can play Bruce Wayne when given the time and resources? (i digress)


You are now going into detail what makes a nollywood flick, its a sum total why a top nollywood star wont star in hollywood movies. they dont give time, dietitians, or physical trainers in nollywood.

they will have to start their acting career all over again to reach this level.
this is my stand on this issue.

Vexatious:


Instead of waiting for others to do it for you, why not take the initiative and create one yourself?

Kaycee7:
And my stand is that, there are talented actors in Nollywood willing to start their careers all over again in Hollywood, if given the opportunity.

Toy story 10/10

Seeing this movies as an adult for the first time I miss not seeing it as a kid, I can only imagine how awestruck I must have been and how inspiring and sophisticating I must have found it.

Such brilliance, hilarious, touching, amazing story, satisfying ending and the voice cast was excellent.

Would tackle the franchise now.

do you think the top stars are willing to start their acting career all over again with the level of success they already here? just think about

You guys should cut Nollywood some slack na.

We are still at the subsistence level, as indeed all other areas of our National life.

Some actor, or a studio, or a national event might soon get the attention of the mega studios.

Collaborations will be forged in time.

Then and only then will true works of art start coming out of our Nolly.

Until then, appreciate the little efforts of these brave film makers who put their little resources, and indeed risk penury to produce what we judge so harshly today.

Give it time......

Kaycee7:
The Nigerian economy and mentality will have to improve if Nollywood is to grow. Why would anyone invest massive budgets to make a movie that 2/3rds of the population will download on pirate sites? Our cinema culture needs to improve before our movie industry can stand a chance.

You are right,

But sorry I dont like Nollywood movies, i cant stand blatant copy and paste.

I cant stand the fact that i can summaries a movie in 5 mins of watching it.

I cant stand the look of trying to be something we are not.

I cant stand the way they we ignore our history,

Even as old as that movies was i can never forget it (am talking about Things Fall Apart) why cant we make more movies like this? this the kind of movie that hollywood will be begging to be a part of, cos this one is our history we are the only ones that know the story. And By Jupiter we have lots and lots of stories, a great movie start with good stories, we dont have good stories WE HAVE GREAT STORIES. Can you remember the stories your grandparents use to tell under the moonlight in the village? now try to recreate that.

I cant stand blatant fake acting.

Am sorry Hollywood has ruined me, I cant unsee the hollywood movies i have seen, sorry cant deal.

Kaycee7:
My brother, dollars and naira no be mate. Who no like better thing? Who doesn't want to be pictured at red carpet events and invited to popular talk shows? Talmabout success. Nollywood stars don't even fit the profile of successful to me.

Every good story feels even greater through the lense of nostagia.

A publisher places a prohibitive price on rights to their "treasures"

Funding is too scant for a nollywood producer to "waste" on a "good" book/story

We will get there someday....

I agree with you bro.
Nollywood movies are better than that shitshow called the MCU.

look at this fan of trash and failed universe.(DCEU) even Nollywood movies has higher rating than justice league

Seven psychopaths 8/10

A unique narrative, witty and self aware of it's own goofiness, with many fvcked up individuals, no forced humour or expository characters. Well casted and edited, and well paced (though I felt pacing a bit faster wouldn't do any harm). An overall enjoyable picture that will live you entertained by the end.



Beware spoilers below (can't help it, this part is so damn good )

Imagine being stalked for years to point of madness, where you think your only solution was suicide, because only those who take their own lives are guaranteed a place in hell and you think that's the one place your stalker won't be able to follow you, so you pull out a knife and slit your throat; but the last thing you see as the blood spills is the stalker reach into his pocket, bring out a knife of his own, put it to his throat and slit (and he smokes a cigarette while the blood spills from his gullet).

This DC and Marvel fanboys sef?

Is it too much of a burden to simply enjoy the best of both worlds, you know, like a normal human being? Niggaz be arguing 'bout Captain Marvel and Shazam as if their very existence depend on it.

KoiceReloaded:


I remember laughing hysterically with friends at this particular scene. The humor is so gloriously dark.

However, it's nothing compared to the graveyard scene. Rockwell's narration of the gun fight he scripted may very well be the funniest thing I've seen in a movie.

I dont think the cinemas here are doing badly, I can still remember a packed hall when Wedding Party premiered in the cinemas here. I just feel the industry's regulatory body is sleeping on the bicycle.

pryme:


But am telling you the way nollywood stars will reduce when you give them hollywood style requirements will suprise you.

there is work in acting o, dont think hollywood stars are paid millions for doing something easy.

Kaycee7:
Do you think Avengers: Endgame grossed so much locally because the cinemas were packed for one day? How many middle class Nigerians can afford to re-watch a movie at the cinema? In developed countries, cinemas are like the mall. Even poor folks can afford to go there. Here, cinemas are a luxury. A statement of class. The industry's regulatory body can't handle this alone.

And coming here to inundate us with box office sitting and rotten tomatoes ratings.
