Nice post. But have you ever had a hard thought why the hollywood films are like that? The Americans simply want to show you how supreme they are compared to the rest of the world. Research and you'll find(even though they won't agree) that the good guy cum super hero is America while the bad guys cum villains are the rest of the world. My opinion is that we should start showing this our much talked about "Giant of Africa" in our own movies instead of this hanky panky higilipogili we act on weekly basis for our viewing displeasure. Ever seen a police, law court, hospital and politicking scenes in Nollywood? U go vex die! These guys don't know dot and make no effort whatsoever to research. I also noticed that these Hollywood movies you are talking about are old movies. Even that old style of acting sef, we no fit copy and act. For me, I never watch any Nollywood movie, because e dey make me vex. |

Encoredme: 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.Forget that thing, dem dey beat Tom Cruise for film o. 'M.I: Ghost protocol' i think dem break im leg or so. |

senbonzakura_kageyoshi: 5)The haunted guys find out how to kill the monster only after there are two of them left: I love horror movies. I watched loads and loads of horror movies, and one thing I’ve learnt from them is that it is practically impossible to kill a monster/ghost/zombie/vampire/werewolf unless there are just say two or three out of like 10 or 20 people left. Oh, I also learnt that the black guys usually die first or second but that’s not such an important lesson. Whatever happened to two heads being better than one. And when you have ten heads that get wiped out one after the other till there are only two, shouldn’t it follow that the remaining two just commit suicide to save themselves having to get killed by said monster? But no, it is only after their compadri have died do they figure out that the monster’s weakness is water, or cocaine (as in that Elijah Wood movie, can’t remember the name) or hair relaxer (Evolution) or some such silly thing like that. If that where the case, if i meet a horrible looking thing, I will bust out all the hard drugs I have and hope it kills the thing instead of getting it high and it then goes apeshit on me. Go and see d exterminator |

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 . D mama, pls bone wat ur lecturer said. The story line of any movie that want to b d best must makes sence nd conform or nearly conform to wat can happen in real life. Hw can u say it is absence of reality. Watz up wit d nos of researches carried out b4 a film is produce. Technolodgical research nd even d psycological part dat conform to hw a criminal must behave just to make sure dat d movie is real with real life occurrence though some acts or action in d movie might b impossible in real life. Have u heard of prison break, 24, jumong, clara nd mara etc wat makes them pple's favourite, because it conforms to real life, the scenes add up nd they all make sence nd although some parts are impossible bt they make us believe that it is possible nd they turn us to doubting thomas asking questn like, is that real? oh dat is nt real? Wat a move! We jump frm our seat nd shout: that is it brother!, that is d move!! Wat about d nos of real life expert they have to bring to teach d actors nd actresses on behaving in d scene nd reacting as well. Some actor even have to study a mad man or a drug addict or criminal 4 weeks just to act a scene. To me, what makes a movie great is how real it is nd how d scenes add up nd d success of d movie makers in confusing d audience that it is real, as long as we see it as real as it is in d movie. If it is d absence of reality that ur lecturer calls art then, I don't like art. Give me reality, jackie chan nd not jet-li, d former dat injured his spine when making d film Who am I. Why is it dat most nigerian youth prefer hollywood to nollywood? Nollywood dont look real, majority of the scenes don't add up, d constume as also bad, oh my God! Few nollywood movies are nt guilty of this while most are. If I'am to give examples of nollywood movie guilty of this nd what they are guilty of, nairaland fit pack up ooo. Imagine a guy sitting on a fast moving car booth nt holding anything with his two hands except his gun, shooting at other rides pursuing them and he didn't fall from d car booth. Insult, d car was like it was in d sky because I can't see d road on which d car is moving. It is nt every art that is a fantasy! Great directors like to make sure their film is real as possible. Some hollywood movies are also guilty but d reasonable storyline, movie actions nd suspense cover for it. Nollywood should also improve bt d main problem is lack of 'kudi', proffesionals nd expert. D actors are trying bt wat if there is no gd directors nd d costume available is bad nd unreasonable. The truth is dat a brilliant work is well recognised nd different from d work that is nt brilliant. Funke Akindele, Tunde Kilani nd few others are trying in yoruba nollywood. 1 Like |

In my own opinion I understand dat most times Hollywood tend to hype and exaggerate their story and add lies but I love d way they lie. Is so captivating. Yes we know that is almost impossible for 1 man to beat 100 enemy at the same time but when u see d effect they put in It, omo is captivating. Check out matrix,die hard,lord of the rings,terminator,the. Super heroes movies and d rest,even chinese movies where u see all sort of lies and tricks,people flying,climbing leaf of trees, arrows dat was shoot to kill dem and d rest,we know all dis are lies but we enjoy it cos of the effect,sound and every details put into it that help put us at the edge of our seat. For the horror film where out of 10 people only the last 2 tend to find d solution to kill d monster,My dear have u been in a group where 10person bring suggestion,u notice that is so so fight and argument and most time they neva reach a conclusion. Is beta wen few good heads work together d a group of 10 wey 1 person inside d ten go just dey cos wahala inside. Our problems we have here in nollywood is dat we don't know how to tell such stories properly and do not have the technology and expertise to pull it off. |

so true and so funny. The one wey dey vex me pass na chinese movies and their crazy stunts. You'd see one guy been attacked by hundred guys, in my mind i'd be like ok u guys go together at once, gather the guy and beat him up, simple! Sheybi na 100 to one. But no!, what they do is they keep coming at him one after the other fighting kung fu, i look at the remaining guys waiting in line at the background, and i just be like wtf?!, especially as they look like fools just standing there doing nothing. 2 Likes |

There is too much ignorance of the Nigerian film industry by the poster and majority of those rushing to comment without facts and figures. Nollywood produces only 12% of the total number of movies made every year in Nigerian film industry. Kannywood produces over 55% of Nigerian movies and Yotuba movies are second in quantity. Kannywood started before Nollywood in spite of the ignorance displayed by majority of people in the south. The north has more screens than the south. The producers in Kannywood sell more videos than producers in Nollywood. The north has a longer tradition of cinema culture than the south. 1 Like |

I feel in real life, fight in those days had some sort of code of ethics for the ancient chinese Also, 10 people swinging swords wildly @ one target makes them more likely 2 hurt themselves as well as their target, so I guess it makes more sense for them to attack one by one , or two by two |

senbonzakura_kageyoshi: 3)Winning A Girls Heart…..Through The Power Of Dance!: Okay, I know, the Indians are more guilty of this than Hollywood but then they do this in pretty much every dance movie there is. Trodden down poor boy meets classy school girl in high school/college and somehow, she manages to always get attracted to him the first time they lock eyes. However, she just can’t leave her big jerk of a boyfriend……until the good guy shows he can bust a move! He dances his way into her heart, she leaves her jerko boyfriend and they dance their way into the happily ever after that is the end credits.THATS why they are called films. the wont entertain u without using tricks |

No matter how you twist it, hollywood still rocks. I can't imagine hollywood giving their movies titles like "All my ladies, tea or coffee, palace of sorrows, royal this and royal that". I don't think you watched Life of Pi or even The Girl with the dragon tattoo. Did you watch Django Unchained? Titanic is a 1997 hollywood movie but not in the class of nollywood's latest movies. Can you compare Angelina Jolie's fight to Stephanie Okereke's? Or Van Damme's to Sam Dede's? Wetin big pass you, big pass you. |
